Argentina Reciprocity Fee

Can anyone confirm that it is possible to pay the $131 reciprocity fee for US citizens on arrival at Ezeizia airport by credit card? Some early info I read concerning the institution of the fee stated that this would be the case, but I haven't seen anything that confirms this since they started collecting it.

Does anyone have any info? Thanks in advance.

This is the text of the email message from the US Embassy in BsAs:

Airport Entry Fee
December 11, 2009

This warden message is being issued to alert U.S. citizens that on December 20, 2009, the Government of Argentina will begin charging American Citizens visiting Argentina for business or tourism an entry fee of $131 U.S. dollars. The fee will be collected only at Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport. Once paid, the fee permits multiple entries into Argentina for ten years in accordance with United States visa reciprocity. Americans may pay in dollars, by credit card, or with travelers checks.

Be aware the Credit Card Charge is usually treated

as a cash advance...so an up front fee plus

high interest rates that start right away...

Better to pay with cash or TC's

Others on the Trip Advisor site also have said they could have paid by credit card.
