Ouch. Not sure how accurate the rest of the content is if you're so off about this. This is basic stuff. Can't figure out how he thought tourists were getting that rate. You would think in 6 months he would have figured it out.I just checked out one of the pages and it doesn't sound like he understands the exchange rates after living in Argentina for 7 months.
He writes about the tourist dollar/rate and being able to get 1,600 pesos to $1 but he has that backwards. That rate isn't for tourists! That is the rate that Argentines have to pay when they use their credit cards outside of Argentina. Who is going to tell him that he isn't getting 1,600 pesos!

Is Argentina Cheap for Tourists? – Updated September 2024
With its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and rich history, Argentina has long been a favourite among travellers. In recent years, many tourists have found Argentina to be a very cheap destination. However, recent political changes have meant that the economic landscape of Argentina has...
It was confusing seeing all the rates. When I was there I saw this website and it was confusing but I figured it out the first day! I can't believe the government charges so much for Argentineans to use their credit card/debit cards outside of Argentina. They don't want them to spend money outside. This blogger probably has his parents paying his bills or something not to realize it for 6 months.
Maybe he can see the future. The blue dollar might end this year at 1600. Let's see.
It looks like he removed that page now which is good. It is funny that even someone that has lived in Argentina for 7 months can get it totally confused. But not sure how you could think it was that rate because you would notice it on your credit card unless you weren't paying your own bills.I just checked out one of the pages and it doesn't sound like he understands the exchange rates after living in Argentina for 7 months.

That is a big mistake to post on a blog. I notified him that he had it wrong and it looks like he deleted that page. It is a good way to ruin your credibility if you post that the exchange rate is 1,600 to $1 USD when it is only 1,100 to $1. Oops.I just checked out one of the pages and it doesn't sound like he understands the exchange rates after living in Argentina for 7 months.

Thank you @VINO! I was looking for a conversion website for Visa/MC. I knew one had to exist. I will bookmark it.It is very easy to see what the MEP rate that you get for using your credit cards by just looking at your credit card after using it.
The only website I have found that has the Visa/Mastercard on a daily basis is this one. It is fairly accurate.
