You cannot do that anymore. I suggest you do it right now. You can go to the web site and do it. If you don't do it you will not be able to board when you go to the airport.
From the thread I get the impression this is now required every time you enter, not valid for ten years.

A valid passport is required for USA Citizens to enter Argentina. USA Citizens do not need a visa for visits of up to 90 days for tourism or business. Argentine law requires that, prior to arrival in Argentina at any entry point, USA Citizen tourist and business travelers pay a $160 reciprocity fee by credit card online at the Provincia Pagos website. Once paid, travelers must print out the receipt and present it to the Argentine immigration officer at the time of entry. The fee is valid for ten years from the date of payment and multiple entries. It is advisable to keep multiple copies of the receipt, as it must be presented every time you enter Argentina. The fee applies only to bearers of tourist passports. Travelers bearing diplomatic or official passports are required to get visas prior to arrival in Argentina but are not charged the reciprocity fee, nor are travelers transiting and not entering Argentina.
Ah, that's why I put the link. It says what you repeated.

I have a trip planned to BA in September. I'm debating using my EU passport as opposed to my US passport and save the visa charge. Is it worth it to possibly loose Uncle Sam standing behind me?

I'll be in EZE soon. Me too, I just got a new passport and so my old one has my EZE visa in it. Good to know that I still can use the old passport with the EZE visa in it. I want to say Hello, and pay you my yearly membership on the other website if possible. Hope to see you soon and thank for all your help!
PS: I made "Senior Level" are you proud of me? Sorry, still kinda shy!
You pay the fine to Argentina when leaving the country. Uruguay issues you a Visa when you enter the country, and takes the Visa for Uruguay when you leave the country. Argentina issues a NEW Visa when you enter the country from Uruguay. Be sure to take the "reciprocity" fee receipt (it will be in your passport if you entered Argentina during the early days of the fee) so that you do not have to pay it again. In the future do not overstay your Visa. Go to Uruguay.
So if my visa has expired. Then I go to Uruguay. Can I pay the fine with immigration there? Or is it only in the airport you can do this? Do you pay on the way put of the country or on the way back in? This is my first time doing this . Thanks for the advice

If you have not been to Uruguay before, you should go. Look at the Visa renewal as a bonus because Uruguay for a day, or two, is nice, and the ATM machines give dollars. Depending upon your budget, you can go to Colonia or Montevideo. I prefer Montevideo because they have good fresh swordfish, which is difficult, if not impossible, to find in BA. It is a tasty break from steak. If you use the "search" feature of AP, you will find lots of information on both places.

People do this all the time. If you ever go to Paraguay by bus when you get to the border there will be HUNDREDS of Paragayans lined up at the window to pay the 300 pesos. It's no big deal, though they may wag their finger at you.
If you just intend to renew one time and you're uncomfortable overstaying and feel like you must fix it going to Montevideo or Colonia, is the way to do it, not at the office. The immigrations people are looking more for people that have done it several times. While you're there you can load up on dollars.

Overstay and pay the fine at the airport. Do NOT go to immigration. People overstay, pay the fine and re-enter the country all the time. Piece a cake.
