They have to be :rolleyes:, now. They reformed the currency last month and dropped :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: off the currency in the hopes it would signal the government's willingness to curb :rolleyes:flation.

I'll look into it, thanks! there's also Karl's Appliances up that way, too, and they only have 3.5% sales tax. But, depending upon the price, it may still be cheaper for me to buy out of state and get free shipping, even if they do discount at 10%.

My kitchen design company called today to say that the likely delivery date of the cabinets will be mid-February. I snorted with laughter and said, "great, you can hang on to them for at least three more months because the foudnation isn't even in yet!" To which she replied: after two weeks, it's a $10 a day storage fee " :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

This damned building inspector has cost me over 2 months in delays, 2 months extra rent payments, 2 months extra storage unit fees, and now I'll be stiffed with kitchen storage fees as well. Sigh! :rolleyes:

Let me work through this logically:

New York ≠ Festering Pit

Answer = Yes.

Buying gift certificates online at a discount in this quantity would be profoundly :rolleyes: I haven't tried the home improvement companies about stacking gift certificates though (getting points for buying the certs online from them, then getting points again when using the gift certificates). I do know that some do offer points for buying the gift cards themselves.

I would tend towards avoiding the payment of taxes by default but the question would be how many miles (RDM and FlexEQM) one would require to compensate for the extra $1,000 in taxes. If there's more than enough miles for an international J ticket, I could be convinced the extra taxes would be worthwhile.

I think they bill it in Dollars, but don't recall precisely. Some cards have no such surcharge, but it's doubtful your mother has one unless she was purposefully seeking them out during limited periods of offer/availability.

It doesn't matter that they bill in in Dollars. Many banks now consider Puerto Rico to be international so they can charge the intl transaction fee.

I think Argentina's new entry fee is only levied at EZE.

EZE does indeed have a departure tax, but I do not recall what it is (Maybe ~$35).

).

Correct about EZE only.

The EZE Departure tax has been rolled into tickets ( At least for CO and DL) as of last year.
