Cashless in Argentina

Recommended Posts

This sucks....I left my ATM card at home as I was headed to St Maarten to meet friends. I called USAA at MIA and got my credit card OK for cash adcance...

Well, the flight to SXM was cancelled and that was the only flight of the day leaving me no chance to meet my friends that were on a cruse ship.

So...I wait around MIA for 9 hours and catch the 845pm flight to Buenos Aires. It kicked ass because I got 1st class on an American 777....Those seats ROCK.

Anyway....I go out last night with Ripi and somehow lose all my cash and now my credit card will not dispense cash, I guess because I am using it in S America and it is a fraud check. I have no way of calling USAA.

So ...here I sit.....Wondering what to do....Any Ideas?

I have to pay for Opera tickets today.....

My date is the prettiest one I have ever had and I am going to blow it because I have no cash....


UGH

in all seriousness, if you know or can get on the tele to someone that knows your bank account number and bank routing number you should be able to get $$.

in college i used that information in belize city to get money from my bank. as long as the banks there are not 3rd world you should be able to get it quickly.

Yeah, what they said. Call your bank and 'splain your situation. Ask if there is anything that can be done to help you out. They may even be able to wire transfer funds to a bank there in Buenos Aires for you. Just do it. Most of the time it doesn't take much.

Had I not been still drunk I might have looked at USAA{s website better and realized that they have local or toll free numbers for every country in the world!

Got it fixed and I have a stack of pesos....

What do they use in Uruguay?

Forget trying to use punctuation on these spanish keyboards
