Just returned from a wonderful week in BsAs. Exchanged 2000 Euros at 10.25 on Florida which made my holiday fantastic value for my money.
One steady Chica (native Porteņo). Took me to the most wonderful restaurants, bars and shows that a normal tourist is not likely to discover.
My third visit in the space of one year and it gets better each time!
A friend of "ours" back in Sex Prison wanted to hit the ground running when he arrived in BA so he asked his friendly banker to exchange a few bucks for Argie Pesos before he came down here.
Easy enough, safe and legit.
Our friend gave his friendly banker $5000.00 Dollars and the banker gave him $25,000.00 Pesos to spend in Argentina.
Our friend immediately lost $15,000.00 to $17,500.00 Pesos on the spot.
Fortunately after we talked a bit he decided to return the majority of the Pesos to the States. ( didn't have to talk that much ! )
Made a considerable difference on the cost of his vacation.
Bankers!

TL.[/QUOTE]He is just as stupid as Zimmerman, if not more so. I hope he does not buy a pistol and obtain a concealed carry permit. His "friendly" banker gave him less than he could have gotten at EZE, not for just a few dollars, but $5,000.00 dollars. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.

[QUOTE=Member#3320;434873]all these sites are frozen with regards to the blue rate on govt order.[/QUOTE]Is that because they are based in Argentina? If so, would sites basing themselves across the border and getting their info by phone work any better?

Anyone know of a good place to exchange for dolar blue in the Recoleta area? Going to be in BA for the first time on the 13th so any help would be much appreciated.
Nobody on Florida / Lavalle offering more than 8.50 yesterday (not even 'Western Union').
I got 8.60 at the agency that 'imports' my salary.....along with the news that they've upped their fee from 1% (USD100 minimum) to 2.5% (USD200 minimum). No prior warning and this just when I was getting 3 months salary at once. SHAFTED!
If anyone can point me to somewhere else that does the [I]'transfer your dollars into our foreign account and we'll give you the dollars here'[/I] kind of deal, it would be very much appreciated!

Are there any places in Palermo or Recoleta for blue rate exchange? The only places I keep reading are on Florida?
Thanks!

I know several places in Recoleta, but I'm not dumb enough to post their address in a public forum.
