Exchanging Currency

[Canitasguy]

Thank you for this info, please let us know if it works OK

Xoom. Com is a internet scam that arranges the international transfer of money from your home bank account to a local bank through an online service. A few weeks of months after the initial transfer takes place they go back into your bank account and extract funds that can neither be traced or recovered!

See my recent post on ATM's for the name of a "legit" money changer. Rate 4. 8 last week for 100's.

This is no joke and not spam.

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!

At Banco De La Nacion. They give a decent rate and the best in the airport.

What? Not even close!

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

I live within the underbelly of BA and I exchange 1000's of dollars per week yet I can only obtain about 4. 65 these days!

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!

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?

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.

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

This is the kind of thing I heard about.

To where do your friends send dollars? You mean Paraguay or Dominica for example?

But OK they weren't referring to that type of friends I don't think.

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.

Something happened to me last week that might benefit other mongers. Two of my "friends" stopped by the house and wanted dollars. It seems that when they want to send money home in dollars the place where they send money from charges them around $5. 60p for each dollar. They offered me $5p for each dollar. If you have a decent relation with some of your "friends" maybe you can help each other out. Just a thought!
