Argentina -Visa and Mastercard doing exchange rates close to the blue dollar rate
Apparently in December the Argentinian government allowed for tourists to pay with their credit and debit cards at the MEP rate which is close to the 'blue dollar - black market' rate, instead of the official exchange rate. This is a huge saving as the blue dollar rates gives you almost double the official rate.
I'm heading there in a fortnight. Has anyone had any experience yet doing this or know more info about it and has it worked? If it works, it would be much better than carrying around a large amount of US dollars to exchange.
