Official Rosarito Thread - Page 34

The very first time I came to Rosarito to look for places, I didn't bring a passport (last time I came down here, I didn't need one). Border agent just asked where my passport was and I explained. Told me that it is mandatory to bring a passport and let me leave; I guess I run good.

dam u do run goooot!

Yeah last time I crossed, the dude was a huge dick. I'm sure if I didn't have my passport I would've gotten some ridiculously thorough treatment.

Did a 5K USD wire direct from Stars to Santander....

Good news is it was real fast...requested on Sunday, processed yesterday and in my bank Tues morning.

Bad news is I was credited $64,791.85 pesos, which is ~ $4735 USD according to google. Looks like the wire fees were the same as the $500 transaction, guess the currency conversion f's us.

Ya, that's pretty sick and about what I figured. 8-9% by the time you get it back to USD.

Seems like you got hit even more this time.

When you buy the pre-loaded Telcel aircard at Walmart - is there a way to check online what your remaining data is? I see reference to texting/receiving a text, but not sure how to do it that way for an aircard only.

Why though?

Also, is there a way to change your default currency on MB?

That only works with FPPs right? Can Stars even do concierge for US products and services still?

When you concierge an item,they take out your FPP's and put cash into your PS account. So it wouldn't really help with cashing out.

Oh and btw, you don';t need a fm-2 or 3 to get a USD mexican account. Just a utility bill in your name. I recommend Santander.

Have you done any wires? Also, what games do you grind/SN if public?
