Pro tips by country
Chile: You can load Mercado Pago using a foreign card, but a Chilean phone number unlocks more features.
Uruguay: Sign-up needs a Uruguayan ID and local phone number, so visitors cannot join. Pay with a foreign-issued card instead: Uruguay automatically refunds 9 VAT points at restaurants and car rentals on foreign cards, making them cheaper than cash.
