Banking 15% surcharge on foreign transactions on Argentine credit cards starting Sep 1
Maybe I misunderstand the surcharge. If I hold a Arg bank issued card, go to NYC, buy a US$100 widget using my card, when my statement arrives it will contain a charge of 460 pesos plus the surcharge of 69 pesos for a total charge of 529 pesos. In effect I am paying 5.29 pesos for a US dollar...- Bakis

Banking 15% surcharge on foreign transactions on Argentine credit cards starting Sep 1
15% isnt bad if the foreign currency (US$) is being converted at the official rate on the cardholder's bank statement inasmuch as the spread between official and parallel is over 30%.- Bakis

Food & Drink Macaroni and cheese
I know this is a longshot, but does anyone know of a place in BA where you can buy American-style boxed macaroni and cheese (i.e. Annie's, Kraft)? My kids are really craving it! Thanks!- Bakis
