The gringo influx is never really good for monger destinations overall.
I’m sure they’re all great guys though, Lol.

Posts: 16Colombia Money Transfer
My Charles Schwab card got mangled in an ATM and I didn't want to use my credit union card due to the outrageous fees. There is a service called Remitely.com that you can send yourself money and pick up at BanColombia or BBVA (the other banks require cedulas). It's similar to western union, but has lower fees and seemed to be a lesser hassle for me. You can transfer yourself money in 15 minutes for $4. 99 or if you can wait 3 days, the fee is $. 50! You also receive a better exchange rate if you opt for the slower transfer. Below are some things I noticed picking up at each bank branch.
BBVA. Need to submit a photocopy of your passport. They ask you for your local Cell#, address. Otherwise an easy process after the 1st time and less crowded than BanColombia. Limit of $1,000 transfer per month. Subsequent pickups are easy as your information is stored.
Bancolombia. Need to submit a photocopy of your passport and fill out a form (where the money is coming from, your profession, salary. Etc) although you can bullshit on all the information. BanColombia seemed a bit more strict due to money-laundering concerns in Colombia. This form is only needed the first time and then you can pick up just by presenting your passport. BanColombia is a more crowded, so it would be ideal to find a smaller branch. A few tellers look at your passport entry stamp to make sure your within your visa allowance. If there's an issue, just say thank you and go to another branch or come back latter for a different teller. Believe the max transfer at Bancolombia was $3,000/ month.
Some tellers may ask who & why you are receiving money. I always told the tellers that I lost my wallet and was sending myself money and it was for "tourism". I found this to be an easier option for withdrawing larger sums of money at a time.

In Medellin, at the end of being there for a year straight, I started having ATM problems. Some ATMs I'd always used wouldn't let me withdraw. Others would only let me withdraw 400 k when before I had always taken more. Got back to the US and continued to have problems. Turned out there was a problem with the chip in my card. New card, no more problems.
If you're using USAA, you should be able to get an account with Navy Federal Credit Union. Low fees and they reimburse up to $10/ month of foreign ATM service fees. I'll let you know later this year how well they work with the various ATMs.

So fast forward to last week and calling USAA to check 'What's Up with last Nov / Dec and they are like hey everything is fine" and when I told them I used my ATM card successfully in see. Are. In Nov they said "Yes because it is a USA Protectorate" LOL. Right then I knew that I needed to talk to his Super. Seems that since I last used my ATM in Colombia in Feb. 2016 Colombia does not allow ATM withdrawals. Has to be from a primary checking account.
Has anybody had similar issues?

Is why I shy away from social media B.S. Challenging enough when I encounter a decent chica in an MP and try open her up after she gives me her cell on Thurs. She proly contact me tomorrow, is off today.

Posts: 15925Tinder Love
Don't know what the bullshit with the Tinder is in Bogota. Whenever I click on someone, nobody clicks back. The few that do, do it 4 days later after I have already left.
So yesterday while I was in Barranquilla, a beautiful 22 year old chick in Bogota clicked me back. She wanted to pussyfoot around, while I was trying to get to the root. Finally went to whatsapp where I pulled out of her that she would come stay with me all night for 280K. I said no way. That is way too much. She asked if I was one of the guys that pay 100K. I said that I mess with a lot of normal women so it is usually 0. But I am willing to help if she would give me a more realistic price. She said 230. I said yes, but that will include your taxi or bus or transmilenio or whatever. She said sure. So when I get back to Bogota Wednesday, she is supposed to come in the afternoon and stay til the next day.
Here is my question. When she was telling me about the 280, she said that one place she works charges 300K/30 min. That is when I told her that I didn't need to know about places because of free chicks. It didn't hit me til later on last night. So today I asked what place. She would not tell me exactly, but said in Zona Rosa there is some disco on 86. Does anyone know what.

I did not ask for TLN. It's not really my thing.
