Falabella/Sodimac my virtual MC number failed but since then, my physical MC number works, increible!
Another recent miracle was my Abastible medidor gas payment (I live in a condo) also “took”. Don’t know if this was a fluke as I tried paying my water bill via the supposedly same WebPay portal with zero luck.
Please post recent online purchase experiences with foreign credit card. Company, portal (MercadoPago, WebPay), any other pertinent details.
MercadoPago, the worst of the worst, I would like to hear of ANY success there.
I have just used my USA virtual MC number for a purchase on MercadoLibre (via MercadoPago) and at leefood.cl (where I buy imported food items) via WebPay.
Until quite recently, SKY airline would not accept my US bank cards (Mastercard). This year, no problem with that card.
LATAM has for some time accepted my US bank cards.
I seem to recall that kitchencenter.cl accepted my US Mastercard for online purchases
While I was visiting the US recently I applied for a no-fee LATAM Mastercard based on US resources and was instantly approved. Evidently, a lot more Chilean online sellers accept that card, versus the usual US bank cards. US$15K credit limit, no fee on foreign currency transactions. Priority boarding on (some) LATAM flights.
FYI, that MC I mentioned above is the LATAM MC issued by cardless.com (USA). I got the for a fee card for the perks as I will be making frequent trips to the US and domestically in the next couple of years.
Nestle Chile’s Dolce Gusto division uses MercadoPago as their processor so I had doubts about being able to use my US-issued LATAM MC. As MP always insists on RUT/other ID number when entering your CC info, I decided instead to try putting in the US telephone number associated with the account.
