- Carlos Vela serves as the face of Mercado Pago’s initiative, which the company says supports a shift away from cash in Mexico.
- Banco Macro’s Argentina promotion is open through April 30, granting one chance per ARS 1,000 spent with Visa Macro cards, with MODO, Apple Pay or Google Pay payments multiplying chances by five.
- The Banco Macro/Visa sweepstakes will award 38 two‑person packages that include match tickets, round‑trip airfare from Buenos Aires, Visa hospitality, four hotel nights, meals, transfers, a $400 prepaid card, merchandise, cultural activities and 24/7 support.
