Reply To: New Argentina rate using UK based credit cards

[Reeferman]

Am heading down to Argentina in a couple of weeks – staying in Palermo for a few nights (before going on a cruise up to Brazil).

The hotel is booked – to be paid on arrival – at a cost of about US$1,200. Does anyone have any update on the latest rate that may be charged to my CC? Is a subsequent refund close to the Blue rate still a thing?

Haven’t made any restaurant reservations as yet – but plan to pay using a CC

Will take some US$ with me – is it worth changing-up any to Pesos (taxi fares etc) or is everyone currently more-than–happy to take US$?

Appreciate any latest advice please
TIA
