Xoom vs Dolar Blue Exchange Rate?
Anybody understand why the spread between Xoom exchange rate and Dolar Blue has widened over the past month and a half? Currently I can get 9. 6075 P from Xoom and you guys are reporting 12.00 P plus or minus at the Arbitos. In early June I received 10.31 P from Xoom when we were exchanging for 11.5 P on the street.
Are cash Euro useful for exchanging to peso?
I am coming to BA soon and need to bring lots of cash to pay for a tour I have booked, and for food and entertainment.
I come from Euro-land, and could bring cash US dollars, but buying US cash in my bank would cost me a 5-7% loss. Thus: Are Euro notes as readily accepted at the blue rate cambios as are US dollar notes? If not are the disadvantage of Euros 5%?
Best wishes to you all.
