    I don’t believe AMEX uses MEP. A few weeks back I couldn’t get burquebus to accept my US visa so I tried US Amex. Went thru but the rate was like 930, the official rate. Not great and won’t do that again.

    Where to buy power converter when I'm already in Argentina?

    Most battery powered appliances accept 110-220v, check small print on the power brick or device. I have used various laptops plugged in directly to the wall with only a plug adaptor for years. Laptops last the typical 4 to 5 years before they need to be replaced.
