    Buenas - I have a question about Credit Cards (2024)

    I was directed here from Reddit where I posted a similar question. I have probably read several threads here in the forum discussing credits card, but they are mostly from 2023 and before. I did find one thread that had a bunch of twitter posts, but I just wanted to be more direct. In 2024...

    Banking US credit card not accepted anymore

    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!
