Most power adapters (“bricks”, like for a phone or laptop) are capable of converting the voltage. If it says “input: 100-240VAC” on the power adapter, it’s able to take the both domestic and international voltages within that range and only a plug converter to fit the outlet is needed. If it’s a straight plugin item like an alarm clock an additional power converter may needed in addition to the plug adapter. But this is becoming more and more rare. Of course, always check the device label before assuming. Thanks for the tips, thought I would share.

Visa pays the blue dollar rate. Mastercard doesn't. We're almost finished with my two-week holiday in Argentina: BA, Ushuaia, El Calafate, and back to BA. We were informed by our tour guide for the Recoleta Cemetary that Visa pays the blue dollar rate. We had to pay by card to enter the Recoleta Cemetary as they don't accept cash. I used my Visa card and discovered that I was only charged GBP 4.74 entrance fee to the Recoleta Cemetery. I then started to use my Visa card and discovered that I was getting an exchange rate of AR$340 to 1 US$. Which is not too different from the current blue rate of AR$380 to 1 US$. We found lots of vegan restaurants and most other restaurants have at least a vegetarian option. We did not starve during our Argentine holiday!

Best video I have seen regarding Buenos Aires. I am going next month. Two question, 1. Western Union Charge me $8.00 for the transaction. Is it better to see get the money from Arbolitos? 2. Is the credit card blue dollar automatic or I have to ask to apply it. Once again. Great Video.
@NotSoSeriousCouple
@NotSoSeriousCouple Жыл бұрын
Glad it was helpful! To answer your questions: 1. If it's your first transaction there's no fee! But, if you have to pay the fee I'd say it is still worth it if it's easier for you. It depends where you're staying, how fast you need the money, how comfortable you feel, etc. They are both good options. Remember that with arbolitos you need $100 bills in perfect condition. 2. It applies automatically to transactions made with a Visa issued in a foreign country (outside Argentina), no need to apply for it.

@NotSoSeriousCouple
@NotSoSeriousCouple Жыл бұрын
Based on the latest we heard up to $5,000 USD to get the blue dollar exchange rate. But you can also use your credit card and get the blue dollar rate (or very close to it). You can also get cash from an ATM but you'll get the official exchange rate if you use that method.

@@NotSoSeriousCouple I have quite a similar question. What happens if you exchange $5000, then you dont get to use all of it. Can you exchange the remaining amount back to USD using the official rate as you are headed to the airport?
@NotSoSeriousCouple
@NotSoSeriousCouple Жыл бұрын
@IKnowItAll. our understanding is you can exchange it back but you won't get the official rate. It's better to exchange smaller ammount at a time to make sure you spend it, or use your credit card.
