Isn't the only reasonable option, using BA miles, a domestic South America award ? (which would be 10k + tax)? I'm curious where u got the 12.5k from.

AA chart has a wholly domestic Argentina option for 10k miles too. I plan to call tomorrow to see if there is availability from just MDZ-AEP, using AA miles (would still have to bus SCL to MDZ, but that's okay) . Perhaps there is better availability using AA miles instead of BA miles, since the AA miles include "off peak" dates on their partner award chart?
Remember, SCL-MDZ-AEP is not a domestic flight. BA miles within South America will cost you 25k R/T, SCL(Chile)-AEP(Argentina) one way is just 12.5K+fees ^

I just check October 2011 SCL-AEP (SCL-MDZ-AEP) and I found availability almost everyday, if you check SCL-MDZ you will get the same result but if you look MDZ-AEP you will not find anything (just Oct 19). Since SCL-MDZ-AEP is available everyday you can request an stopover on MDZ but you have to call to BA in order to get that seat ^, if you need more help let me know your dates
