I entered Argentina yesterday through AEP on a US passport and paid the reciprocity fee at an official collection desk right next to the immigration lines. I don't know when the desk was installed at AEP but it did not look new. The fee is posted in USD ($140.00) but you can have it charged to your card (Visa, MC or Amex) in either Argentine Pesos or USD. All UK, Australia, and US citizens are required to pay the fee, which is valid for 10 years (they apply a computer-generated sticker to one of your passport's visa pages).
