    Convention and events?

    Hi. I was wondering if anyone has any information on where I can see up coming events/conventions? Maybe international car show? or fashion? motorcycles? Bikes? We enjoy going to these back home and would love to visit any in BA. Thank you.

    Extension renewal experience. A warning.

    Will most likely do a border run, i just checked online and I have another 90 days (Until 2nd week of October). Not sure if it will work but I will cross that road at that time. We do plan on traveling to EU or Asia so maybe it will not matter.

    From Venezuela, I have personally witnessed prejudice (masked as racism ?) against her, which makes me sad and mad for her.

    Extension renewal experience. A warning.

    I have a receipt for 20.000, I'm sure they would have given me a receipt for more. My gf is hypersensitive to BS and on top doesn't like it when I get taken advantage of. She has her past experiences to add to this. 20.000 or 40.000 sure.. doesn't matter but it is kind of hard to look at the...

    Extension renewal experience. A warning.

    20.000 in my eyes is a scam. I lied about my imaginary friend paying 6.000 last week and they replied price changed over the weekend. The fact the cashier (caja) didn't know how much is the cost when asked and when we returned he already knew to charge 20.000 seems to us that they have...

    Extension renewal experience. A warning.

    This morning I went to migration in the capital. I was under the 10 days until my current tourist permit would expired. When i got there, I went to a booth and asked for extension. The person behind the desk asked a lady with glasses (sitting in a corner desk behind the staff which wasn't...

    Apple Pay at Coto?

    $500.000 for the hardware and $62.500/month for the service. When I bought it the exchange rate was higher so the cost showed up as $443 on my card. I expected to pay $500 USD. It is Gen 2 antenna. On my US card, it posted $443 for the hardware and $54 for the first month of service.

    Apple Pay at Coto?

    Starlink has been good so far. I get about 190Mb download to the router and 20Mb upload. However from my devices to the router has been less. I have adjusted my placement of the router a few times. Since I live in a 2 store the signal doesn't travel through the walls or floor that well. I have...

    Apple Pay at Coto?

    Exactly why I prefer to use Apple Pay. The other day I was buying home insurance and the agent at the retail location was writing all my info (to process in the computer later?). At one point he asked for my credit card #? We asked if he was going to write it down, which he said yes. So we said...

    Apple Pay at Coto?

    We are moving to a new development which only has internet via antenna. I guess by line of site which is does not have the greatest speeds. We were under the impression it was fiber but found out when we started searching for services. This was our only option until the infrastructure is upgraded.

    Apple Pay at Coto?

    I have used it at McDonalds, any restaurants that take credit card. Basically any stores that have a handheld POS for CC. One store I bought mattresses from had a separate machine for foreign credit cards as they were aware their other machine doesn't work with foreign CC. So you might need to...

    Apple Pay at Coto?

    Hi. Anyone able to use Apple Pay at Coto? We tried and it didn't work. We have had no issues using it in other stores, however we did notice sometimes they have to use a different machine to accept foreign credit cards. Also they ask for ID to prove the credit card is ours, but Apple Pay doesn't...
