They need at least a couple days heads up to make it.
We'll be back on Sunday.
I'll email them now to test the waters.

I figure we'll settle for 13. I'm happy to lose .1 to change money in a robe and slippers than in a cueva.

I haven't had a chance to email them yet but I figure I'll ask them personally at dinner tonight.
Ended up being 12.9 but at least I changed it in my robe and slippers  ;D
What's the must-get cocktail at Asian?

Try just going to shul and asking who can help you. You should get a rate similar to dolarblue.net.  Of course there's Called Florida, but that's where most people go so you might not get as good a rate.

I switched it in the Chabad building, many people there to switch with. Gotta be careful is you switch by Calle Florida, lots of scammers around area too.

Have you had them recently?
I had them on Tuesday night and thought they were average.

Anywhere to get Blue dolar rates around Iguazu?
Or anyone going to EZE within the next month?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I asked our super friendly cab driver in Iguazu and she said that the rates are not nearly as good there compared to BsAs.

Had friends that were there without going down to BUE first, and they got a better rate than official rate, but not as good as the blue dolar was at the time.

The cab drivers know of places to trade. The rates are not nearly as good as EZE though.

If traveling to EZE, one needs a visa prior to leaving USA, or can he or she buy it on arrival?

You need to have paid and printed out the receipt before you leave the US. Most airlines will not let you on the plane without it. You cannot purchase it in Argentina. Also it's a reciprocity fee not a visa.
