There is usually a 1 day delay. Tomorrow at 8 pm EST (7 pm Medellin time) you can check the rate at 'Visa Exchange rate' to see what you will actually get.
Put in any number for 'amount' (it won't matter). Put in 0 for Bank Fee. Select US for the 'Card Currency' and COP for the 'translation currency'. Hit enter and you will see what the ATM debit card rate will be.
Remember one important thing. When you take money out if the bank asks you if you want the 'default rate' or 'bank guaranteed rate' or anything like that. Just say no. The transaction will now complete using the Visa Exchange Rate and you will not be giving money to the bank for no reason what-so-ever.
Visa works about 1% in on their rates. Unless you are converting from Canadian dollars to whatever, then it is 2. 5%. Sometimes sucks to be Canadian.

Seriously? For 1,500,000 I can get ton of hot ladies to come stay over night and do everything who are not normally for rent. That is crazy money to pay. I do not speak Spanish and can get that to happen easily for stupid money like that. But so could just about any guy with a ton of girls who would normally not do that. That is 5-6 times the normal rate.
He clearly overpaid, but dude had a good time and it was his first time in Medellin if I am not mistaken. I can't say I blame the guy at all or any other newbie who pulls a similar move. I overpaid my first trip or two as well. Hopefully, he pays less next time and learns he can get the experience for much less. Glad the dude had a great time though.

4069 COP To USD Exchange Rate- Time To Hit The ATM's

Yes, they have digital vax cards in Colombia, so should not be a problem for them to accept a digital card.
In fact I have used my State of California digital vax card for entry into places in both Medellin and Bogota.

They have digital vax cards in Colombia for Colombians, I've seen them used by Colombians, hence they know what they are.

You are correct. The price listed is for 3 hours of cleaning in the desired costume. Anything extra can be negotiated with the girl.
Here's an explanation. If you have children and you hire someone to watch them while you're working, it costs one price. If you hire a clown to entertain the kids, it costs more.
I'm not sure how well this new service is going to work out for guys that want more than just cleaning services.
The idea of having to negotiate with the girl upon arrival for extra services versus beforehand could be problematic.
Could be a total wild card depending on the girl, and the customers Spanish speaking skills.

Was just there about 2 weeks ago. It was 350 COP for 1 girl, 380 COP with striptease. I think that was for an hour. Technically, I think the striptease version is for 70 minutes.
There were also options for shorter time or 2 girls, can't recall the prices for these.
The annoying part was that you had to remember the girls' names, they had no numbers. Had to get the lineup 2 x b / C we couldn't hear nor remember some of the names LOL.

I will hit Energy and will stop in Tantra, and New Life for sure. I do not mind paying a dollar to see the girls at Energy and New Life. Who cares, right? I believe the reason I paid $3k last time in Energy was that they gave me a bottle of water and I didn't take a girl. But still, who cares.
Does anyone know more or less the price of girls in Loutrons?
I'm going to whatsapp JJBee's maid service to see if they will send photos of the girls.

I am really digging the no mask thing
The day I came back, Medellin dropped mask mandate. I am again seeing beautiful Colombian girls in Santa Fe Mall with their faces showing. Glad to be back.

Been learning a lot from your posts and can't wait for my first visit to MDE next week.
Griz.
Three months is a long time to be buttering you up. I think she deserved a little cash.

They had been declining but towards their end they had a super hot provider called Susan (I think, its so long ago) that I repeated with her a few times (possibly the only time I repeated in Colombia). The last time I went she was busy and I wanted no one else; the mamasan took COP10,000 for the viewing (from a regular!) I never returned, they closed very soon thereafter. How great it would be if they reopened and had a cast of the quality before the decline.

If you got vaxxed at Walmart, CVS, or similar, you should be able to access that info. You probably have email confirms.
I got a couple of spare ones that I can fax across to you if you like?

You can pay for just one month, but it is expensive compared to other dating type apps. I just don't see the need when there are so many chicas on FB. In other locations, FB isn't a thing for pros or semi-pros, so SA would make more sense in those places. But there are many reports of good success with SA in Medellin. I just don't feel the need to pay that cost. A few hours on FB will give you many, many options for free.
