    Xoom. Com will give a 5. 18 exchange rate when sending money to Argentina. With the small fee its still over 5, more you send cheaper it gets. The pickup place is at a More on libertad 1057. This is only from a US bank account or CC. I read about this on the baexpat board and its no joke. Get it while its good. The rate was 5. 02 last week then jumped to 5. 18 after YPF hit the fan.

    I sent a small test amount to myself already to get the bank info settled out before my trip. I got an email today saying its ready for pickup. I guess ill find out in a little over a week.

    This could cancel out a few months of inflation LOL!

    Stay horny my friends!
    Thank you for this info, please let us know if it works OK

    What? Not even close!

    The best at Ezeiza (by a looooooong way) is the Banco Piano exchange booth in the check-in area.

    Really TL? You need to get your sh1t together mate!

    I've only been in BsAs a couple of years, but 2 weeks ago when you posted this I was getting 4. 84. And not from the back of a dodgy jewellery shop on Lavalle either, but from a big business with impressive offices in a very secure environment. I only change my salary there (about US$3000 / mth) , but I've seen people walking out with carrier bags full of cash.

    If you want to know more, please email me. If you're changing that much cash. 20c per dollar will soon add up!

    I know that if you show them the money they will come up with more but 5 to 1 is not obtainable by TL!

    ThANKS!

    Only the smart girls prefer dollars as they put them in a safety deposit box at the bank.

    Also, it needs to be a girl that keeps busy enough to be able to put money away and not one that lives from trick to trick.

    Exchange rate from a Chica is unknown to me.

    I have been getting about 4. 65 to 1 downtown.

    Basically they will all accept dollars but only the smart ones prefer them.

    Five$

    I hear rumors of $5 or more. What is your current experience?

    Dollars

    I understand that cabs and restaurants want pesos, but how about the girls. Would they rather have dollars or pesos? If they want dollars, what exchange rate will they give you? 4. 6 to 1? 5 to 1?

    Exactly, working girls. I just used that as a example to obtain a better then average exchange rate since it seems that most of us has at least a "few" friends.

If you have a decent relation with some of your "friends" maybe you can help each other out. Just a thought!

    They, the restos, will tell you that they are selling their grub at 4. 55 to 1 but in reality you are still losing cash.

    Best bet :

    I will take you to a black market dealer and get you the best rate available for restos and cabs, etc. Cabs will NOT accept your dollars due to ignorance or lack of ability to distinguish the real dollars from SUPER DOLLARS!

    Have we NOT gone over this fucking issue enough already!

    TL
    Come on give us a chance, just a few more times ought to do it.

    Remember, we are noobs here.

    LOL, just kidding TL, your help is much appreciated! ! !

Is this correct? If so, what is the exchange rate they would calculate: 4. 6 to 1; 5 to 1? Please let me know your thoughts. For my trip in April, I'm thinking about bringing dollars in cash with me and using that for all major expenditures. I would only exchange a small amont of money for incidentals. Does this make sense?
