Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

Just did a test on Jetsmart for 200ARS. Was charged $1.08. Last week I was charged $0.60 for the same transaction. Looks like we’re still getting 185 for online purchases.
 
Now the question is: risk waiting for blue rate to be restored for online purchases to save 40%, or just buy now in case that doesn’t happen and flight prices just go up
 
i bet the physical store makes a difference. maybe they are blocking/restricting online transactions only.
 
I just bought something today for 26,000 pesos, in store, with my USA Wells Fargo debit card....again 333 pesos per dollar.
