Our user Xbox Gates (Oleg) from the Ukraine has already offered his services to us several times in the past. He is able to buy games for you from various countries (including Argentina and Turkey) and gift you the games, so that you don't have to bother with gift cards or other stuff. This only works because there is no marketplace in the Ukraine and he therefore has a free choice. Since you need a ukrainian credit card, you can't do it yourself. The advantage over Argentinians, by the way, is that he doesn't have to pay taxes. If somebody from Argentina wants to gift something, they have to pay additional 21% tax ontop. And if you're still good at negotiating, you might be able to push the fee a little lower. 

Of course, it must be worth it for him too, otherwise he wouldn't do it. That's why he charges a fee per game purchase, which comes on top. However, this fee is not fixed, so that you can always negotiate it yourself in the best case. This is not very transparent and difficult to calculate in advance, but Oleg told me that he always tries to calculate the fee so low that the game would still be cheaper than in the next possible country, where you could buy it yourself with gift cards. It's supposed to make sense to you.

Example:

A game in Argentina costs the equivalent of 10$ and you could alternatively buy it in Turkey for 20$. Then he would calculate his fee that low, that you have to pay him less than 20$. In fact it is not the lowest Arg price anymore, but still your supposedly cheapest option. And if you are also good at negotiating, you can possibly lower the fee a little bit.

So that I don't spread anything like scam here, I tried the whole thing myself and requested a game of my choice, what he was supposed to buy for me in Argentina. There were no problems and it was very fast and reliable.

But there is still one small catch: Since Oleg cannot use PayPal to receive payments in the Ukraine, you have to pay by Paysend, credit card, bank card or IBAN transfer. He may also use other services such as Skrill or something similar, which are very popular in the region. If you feel like you would be able to help him with PayPal, he won't charge you any fees for any purchase in the future.

Important: To redeem gifted keys you need a VPN! These codes cannot be redeemed without them! Also, you can't gift pre-order games, so you always have to wait for the release.

You can contact him by mail and negotiate everything yourself: Mail: xboxsalesx@gmail.com / Skype: xboxsalesx

Like it or hate it ;) 

Reminder: This promotion is still available! Be sure to check the price of your whishlist-games.

Until end of january MTCGame sells game keys from US and EU again with 30% off. You can make some nice deals. The discount is already applied on all shown prices. Also pre-order games are listed and quite cheap. Below you can find some examples I found, but also others are available. Unfortunately PayPal does still have problems and you won't be able to pay by PayPal by end if january. 

And pre-order keys may not be available before game release date. You should check your account and mail from time to time. because sometimes you won't get an email, even if the key is already stored in your profile.

Attention: If you're getting a key other than your local region, you will only be able to redeem the key by using a VPN!

Not only MTCGame but also various merchants on G2A offer turkish gift cards almost at face value. 100 TRY are available for ~20$ and and I bet you can make great deals using these cards.

Attention: You might experience errors during the purchase. Some people are affected, some don't. It can help to wait for 72hrs until trying again.

UPDATE 2: Rob told in the comments that he got it working by just waiting for 72hrs after the last "error" during purchase. So it seems this bug (if it is one?!) affects now Turkey and Argentina. You will have to wait ~72hrs after redeeming the gift cards and after your last attempt to buy anything with it. Probably you need to be "logged into" Argentina/Turkey for 72hrs before any purchase can be completed. Strange but now as we know it, it should help many people who have problems.

Attention: Seagm also lowered the prices for ARS gift cards! 500 ARS are now sold at 21.50$ and 300 ARS are soled for 14$. Still not at face value but lower is always better.

UPDATE: It seems that some people experience problems when trying to use the balance. Redeeming usually works without problems but using the balance leads into payment errors. This could be the same problem like in Turkey. So maybe it can help to just wait for some days and try again. Good luck!

Seagm now offers Argentina Gift Cards on their website. Even if the price is doubled the face value, which is basically a due to high wholesale prices, you can still make some bargains. Need an example?

Metro Exodus is set for release during february and is priced around 85 USD. In Argentina you can get this version for around 20 USD. Even if the price at seagm is doubled, you still would be below the next cheapest countries like India or Turkey, where it's priced around 50 USD.

You just need to find the real bargains from Argentina to transform these expensive cards into good deals.

Warning: Even Darksiders 3 was cheap when it was still a pre-order. But right after the release, the game was removed, new added and is now priced a lot more expensive. So maybe the cheap prices like for Metro are just in pre-order phase. The same happened to Battlefield 5.

Btw: They've got 50 cards at 500 ARS and will get another 50 of 300 ARS tomorrow. Because it's very easy to spend your rest value, you should not wait too long. It's maybe better getting 2x 500 ARS, even if you just need 800. Thats my guess. 50 cards are not much, can be outselled very fast and it's very uncertain if/when new cards will be available.
