Medellin Reports

[Nounce]

I just saw a post where I think Nounce is contradicting Knowledge on photos and credit cards.

So your advice is a bit perplexing in this situation, as I don't know who is correct, perhaps both are correct, or perhaps neither are correct. LOL.

I just filled in additional detail that does not really change what Knowledge said.

Last time I was in Medellin I had the same issues as OP described with Rappi. It wouldn't accept any of my cards.

I haven't had any issues like this using Rappi over the years, however something they started some months back is telling you in USD how much your going to be billed, with no explanation as to the exchange rate utilized.

ATMs. I've read on here some reports about the conversion option should be declined which really helped me save some pesos. I've added a couple photos that may help others. Most ATMs would only let me take out 600 m, but one ATM on the big street Carrera 43 A past the Parque de El Poblado park heading away from Calle 10 allowed 1,000 m pesos.

The first image is the ATM fee, say yes to this.

The second was the one warned of by the board, say decline conversion to this.

Standard procedure, always decline the conversion because you're getting ripped off.

A few banks ATM (Cajeros) are free.

Banco Caja Social (there's one in the middle of Parque Lleras), Davivienda, BBVA and Colpatria are fee free (at least the last time I used one, which was May).

I avoid Bancolombia ATMs as they've a 14,000 COP fee and you can only withdraw 400,000 at a time, Banco Caja Social is free and allows 700,000 per pull.

Apologies for being unclear. By "photos' or "images" I was referring to images of the cardholder making the purchase so there can't be a later claim that the purchase was made by an unauthorized party or not made at all. I think we are making the same point. The chip cannot of course be read when a card is used to make an online purchase.

The card company knows from the chip on the card that the card is real. They don't rely on photos which are not reliable.

This hasn't happened to me yet but I will be on the look out fo rit. I only have a credit card issued by a USA bank registered in Rappi. I will take a look and see if maybe there is a setting for currency preference.

I haven't had any issues like this using Rappi over the years, however something they started some months back is telling you in USD how much your going to be billed, with no explanation as to the exchange rate utilized.

So who knows what rate they are using, so now they are a money broker as well, no different than Western Union, and others.

[Knowledge]

This is correct. It is unpopular information but it is true.

If you're trying to keep them completely separate you'll need to access the monger account only from a device which you only use for mongering, a separate phone or tablet.

Tuesday.

Arrived 23.30 and I only found one girl at La Isla worthy of a session, way too many skinny girls. 350 k for 40 min, everything covered. Entrance was 50 k.

Wednesday.

Loutron on the other hand had a good lineup, about 15 girls at 18.00. Mostly pretty skinny girls but a few big booty chicas as well. 350 k for 1 h everything covered. 2 girls for 1 h is 650 k. Settled on a redhead called Nicole. Perfect natural big booty with proportionate hips / thighs. Started off with a shower, massage and then sex in multiple positions.

Arrived 00.00 at Fase II, entrance 20 k, stayed for 1 h and then left.

Lineup at La Isla and Fase II was really weak compared to 4 years ago when I first visited both places.

You are shown the amount in pesos first, then it shows the amount in dollars. Simple math to determine the exchange rate.

Ok I hadn't noticed that good to know. Next time I will determine the rate and won't be surprised if it's below the market rate.

Good advice.

The number one advice I give to people that want to go with Facebook route for chica hunting is to have two accounts and keep them both completely separate with different emails and date or birth and basic demographic data. If not for secrecy, do it for privacy. You will thank me later.

On a Sunday night, there were very few girls. Hardly anyone seemed like a beauty. I was expecting no less than 50 because it was not raining but I didn't see more than 15. I prefer to have a look at the lady in person, have brief conversation before taking the bait so I guess the only other similar venue is centro.

Sunday's typically are the slowest days there.

Yeah, and it sounds shady. We got our food just fine. Driver said order was cancelled and they and restaurant were not paid. I check it out. Charge has been made on my credit card but on line Rappi says order has been cancelled. Driver insists they have not been paid.

My gal handles it. They call multiple times. She takes screen shots, shows where we have paid ETC. People are pissed but what are you going to do? Order was like $20, If it were me, I just would have said sorry, paid in cash, and gotten the charge removed from my card. My gal is like you paid, fuck all of them.

Is this a scam by Rappi to double bill? I do not know, but something sure sounds sleazy to me.

Rule #2 Always listen to what Nounce has to tell you.

Rule #3 Listen to what Knowledge has to say.

Be advised that sort of content shows up on the facebook pages of other people in the "people you may know" category and in stories reels. Which other people? Anyone you may or may not know personally that facebook's algorithms target based on interactions with any kind of facebook or non facebook content anywhere on the Internet that you may have had in common. Facebook's tracking persists even when you are not logged in. So, for example, if you search for long term parking for your local airport that can be a bridge across which content from your "secret" facebook account finds its way to people from your home town.

Question.

Any one of have issues, using your card on the Rappi app, order keeps getting canceled because of verifying card crap.

Yeah, and it sounds shady. We got our food just fine. Driver said order was cancelled and they and restaurant were not paid. I check it out. Charge has been made on my credit card but on line Rappi says order has been cancelled. Driver insists they have not been paid.
