... a nutcase or an aspiring large scale thief, perhaps?

My head is spinning. I’m still seeing this through the same logical prism explained by Splinter .

So if I pay for Netflix using an Argentine cc, I should have to pay 30% more than people in other countries pay ... exactly why?

OK, I will restate my question. Before the 30% surcharge, how was foreign travel being subsidized, @JAN ? I’m not getting it

I don’t understand how NOT charging Argentines 20% more for foreign purchases, not just vacations abroad but Netflix or Amazon, would be subsidizing their vacations or purchases?

I understand that ham-handedly tacking on a 20% surcharge on foreign purchases provides a powerful incentive for spending money at home. But I just don’t understand how NOT adding this tax on Argentines could be considered subsidizing their foreign purchases or vacations. Please explain?
