Just sent myself a payment today. 1,388 pesos to $1 USD. Great rate but looks like it will go higher. MEP hit 1,425 today and blue dollar too!
WU is trailing behind but probably will catch up. You got a bit better rate than I did but I needed the funds. I got 1344.50. I charged my Visa card today and got 1,318.

Milei and Caputo's attempt to reassure the financial markets that things will be ok isn't working. It's clear dollarization ain't happening anytime soon, taxes have increased when they were supposed to go down, PAIS tax isn't being reduced and people view the peso as being overvalued.
 
Unfortunately there is a big spread now on Blue dollar and WU rate. I don't have any more cash. I have to send some via my cueva. I sent a WU payment to myself today and only got 1,281.67 to $1 USD. Meanwhile cuevas are paying 1,450 to $1 US now. MEP is 1,310 so back to $100 USD bills being the most valuable here again.
 
Is anyone else seeing higher rates for WU transfers? I was paying about $5.99 to send $100 but today it jumped up to $13.99 to send $100! And it is showing that it is normally $17.99 so showing a discount. It was never this high before. Anyone else seeing this? Sending to my girlfriend's mum who we have sent to in the past.

Same thing happened to me. Try logging out of your account and then logging back in. I did that and it went down to $5.99 again which is what I pay for sending $100.

Same thing happens to me once in a while. I completely log out of my WU account and try again and it discounts. Try sending it from the list of frequently sent recipients for a quick resend in the same amount and it usually goes back to the lower price.

Also, Moneygram seems like it's back online. It went down for a cybersecurity issue.

Yes Moneygram was out here in Mexico too. I didn't know this was why it didn't work. I used WU but the fee was very high. I will try logging out and seeing if the fee goes down.
