Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

Couple of purchases on my Mastercard… nada! Has anybody had any luck with it yet?
 
I started getting partial refunds back for purchases with my Apple Card (MasterCard) using the physical card and also as a Maercado Pago funding source. The exchange rate ended up being 297 ARS to 1 USD.
Are you a citizen, resident, or none of the above?
 
I'm guinea pigging right alongside you with my Canadian Mastercard. Made a mini purchase at Farmacity for 420 ARS on Sunday night (12/4), which is now pending at the official rate: 3.38 CAD. Will check back in with the results :)
This transaction posted five days later at 3.46 CAD, a slightly higher amount than when it was pending. No refund, no nada.

I’m sorry, that’s disappointing. Was it a debit card or credit card?
 
Does anyone know if it works for citizens?
At this point it should work, as they haven’t figured out how to make the distinction. I did it with the physical card using the chip and with Mercado Pago using my card as the funding source.
