Yesterday I thought they said the blue dollar was going to go up. Instead, it is going down. -https://www.ambito.com/contenidos/dolar.html
Does anyone know why the blue dollar went down? It is getting more expensive. I don't want to complain too much as I still got 960 pesos to $1 USD...
I visited Buenos Aires from October 26, 2023, to November 16, 2023, and everything went smoothly with the "blue rate" when using my Mastercard credit card.
Upon receiving my credit card statement, I noticed an issue regarding the use of VIATOR, the travel company, for booking three day trips to...
Has anyone observed the decrease in exchange rates for Visa credit cards, going from over 1 USD = 800+ ARS to the current rate of 1 USD = 374 ARS? We'll be traveling to Buenos Aires in two weeks, and I'm considering whether to use my credit card or bring cash to take advantage of the more...
Forgive my ignorance but I hear all the time everyone talking about the "blue dolar". I understand that it's an exchange rate that you will get to exchange $100 US bills. What are the best websites as I see many and some have different spreads. Which are the most accurate?
Forgive this newbie but I'm coming to Buenos Aires for 1 month in a few weeks. I read that foreigners can use their credit cards from their home countries (I am American) and I will get a special exchange rate. I read some old articles and I found these...
Just came across this report-
How much of this is true? Looks quite worrisome. :(
"I was just here, it is true they work for visa bank cards that a foreign. But f*ck my life that was the most expensive place I've ever travelled.
They have somehow priced inflation like 6 months ahead, even...
Due to the unstable FX situation with the Blue Dollar at $ 442 and climbing .... It was announced on TV the FX holiday for Monday...? Means no official rate will be available...?
Please confirm.
Today, April 17, 2023, marks the day that yours truly has seen a 99% percent drop in the value of the peso's fx rate (for the masses) with USD, from 4.03:1 to 403:1 . Cool to have converted at both rates (sheds a tear, awaits the Tshirt).
Even the dollar took about 90 years to achieve this feat...
I've looked into this matter and came across instances where individuals sold their homes and utilized wire transfers. However, my situation involves selling various items I acquired during my time here, not a property. Carrying cash back with me is not something I prefer.
I'm curious to know...
Have contacted several Apt for Rentals in Craigslist, the conversion rate to pay in pesos is between 5,50 and 6 pesos per dollar. Any input, what is a fair
rate ?
Hello everyone,
I'm an exchange student from Germany and arrived not long ago in Buenos Aires. Before I came here, I read in several travel guides that I shouldn't bring Euros with me, because it may be dangerous. Now I am here and telling the locals what rate I get at the ATM made them laugh -...
I am planning to buy a car in the near future. Either a new car from a dealer or a used car from a private party.
I will pay for it with dollars that are in my bank account in the US.
Is there a way for me to maximize the purchasing power of my dollars by getting the 5:1 or 6:1 exchange rate...
