    Hello friends, I've been here with my husband now since May of this year, and suddenly, our Chase credit cards are no longer accepted in two chains of supermarkets. Any idea why is that, or can anyone suggest what can be done to solve this problem? Thank you all!!!

    Banking Bank Credit with non-Argentine Income?

    This is a follow-up to a previous question; Is it possible to get credit here in Argentina (say, to buy a house) if you have your income from outside Argentina? For the question, consider that one will declare their external income for tax purposes. Many thanks!
