Bluedollar.net Question

[daveholman]

So, looking at blue dollar.net, there is a huge spread between the credit card buy and sell rated.
When I use my US credit card am I buying or selling?
And any idea why there's such a huge spread when the buy and sell are almost the same with the official rate and the blue rate?

There is always been a big spread like this. The rate you get on a credit card is a few points below MEP rate usually. You can use this link to see what the rates are. It is fairly accurate.

There is a lot of good info on this thread.

Banking Thread 'Credit Card real-world rate "MEP" transaction repo (Dec2023)'

16Dec2023 credit card (MasterCard) rate for a large pizza at Teque Pizza (surprisingly good BBQ Chicken Pizza, 7/10 overall)

6400 Pesos / $6.98 USD = 917 ARS/Dollar, MercadoPago ticket (i'm just going to round these to a whole number from now on, for future comparison simplicity)

hope no one had any property damage from that heavy rain last night! https://x.com/BowTiedMara/status/1736374840167133694?s=20

This website looks easy enough.

I get a headache looking at all the different rates Argentina has on here.
