Curious about this as well as I'm starting to plan this year's annual trek to Argentina. Will be so glad to not have to carry bags of cash.
Don't they have to agree to settle the bill in ARS? If so, the big trip-up would be if one inadvertently selects the horrible Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) option on the credit card processing machine and then it gets charged to the card in USD at a conversion rate even worse than the official rate?
