I don't mind helping a brother out
[QUOTE=Sorcerer;434041]Thanks for the info. Since I'll be carrying small amounts of local currency do they have ATMs for a quick refill if I need.
ALSO. Since the dollar is so valuable, is it possible to negotiate prices with the ladies in DOLLARS?[/QUOTE]I'm just curious, are you taking the time to read anything that's ever been posted here? Every question you have asked has been talked about, deconstructed from every possible angle, and a consensus reached by the brotherhood.[LIST]Bring whatever money you need in cash, clean unmarked 50 and 100 dollar bills only[/LIST][LIST]Bring TL and I some peanut butter and we will take you by they hand and help you exchange money, you will recoup your PB investment many times over with the better rate we will get you, let alone not getting robbed on the way out (I'm also running out of clabbergirl baking powder, the onion rings were worth it but I need more)[/LIST][LIST]Feel free to use your ATM card if you don't mind getting a 30% lower rate plus paying international usage fees[/LIST][LIST]Carefully figure your burn rate the last three days you are here to have no left over pesos, they are worthless outside of Argentina[/LIST][LIST]Never, ever, under any circumstances negotiate with chicas in dollars, not only will you pay more but then, in accordance with the laws of chica land, so will every extranjero that comes after you[/LIST]I'm not normally a RTTF kind of guy but all of this stuff has been said many, many, many times before.
That's the current rate? 8 pesos?
[QUOTE=DaddyRulz;434044]The cambio at the end of the hall in the gallaria near Florida and Cordoba (next to the big cell store) is totally off my list. I used to change there because they were competitive and had a nice secure place for larger transactions but in accordance with Argentine Econ 101 have abused the relationship to the point where it's time to terminate it. Today they tried to give me 7.6 and I got 8 on 100 at my chino across from the Acapulco Resto on Lavalle. I didn't do any shopping on the 8 rate as I had other shit to do, they may be on the way out as well.
Loyalty programs just don't exist here.[/QUOTE]I need to make 1000 US $ change on Wednesday. Is that the rate? 8 pesos? You can't get more?
