Sometimes using a different VPN server works, sometimes not, however. I've had to explain this a fair few times on here so I've just taken a screenshot of the time I did, for any future occurrences

You can keep trying new VPN servers and hope one lands. I don't know if you can still pick a server on Surfshark, it's been a while since I've used it. I know Cyberghost removed the option to pick servers. However, if you disconnect and reconnect your VPN, it usually selects a new server anyway, just make a note of the last three digits of the VPN IP before you disconnect, when you reconnect, check the last three digits are different to ensure you're on a new server. Up to you how many you try, but if you try it twenty odd times with no success, it's probably safe to say it's not going to work unless you migrate your entire account to an Argentina address

I had the same issue often touch wood not in ages. I bought a vpn, use incognito and delete my cookies/ history every time now before attempting use seems to work

Microsoft geo blocked the TunnelBear IPs for Argentina specifically several months ago, but Hola and Urban chrome extensions should both work fine

Migrating your account to a different country is terrible advice.

If the code doesn't redeem it's always a VPN issue. Just use a different one until it works.

I tried over twenty servers on over three different VPN services. Two of them free, one of them paid. I also tried codes on two different Microsoft accounts, mine and my brothers. They redeemed on my brothers without issue, but on mine, I kept getting the country mismatched error. Same VPN, same code, two different Microsoft accounts, it worked on one, but not the other. Glad it hasn't happened to you, but it's happened to me and many others. Often changing servers and even VPN service does nothing. I also suggested changing servers a minimum of twenty times across multiple VPN's before resorting to account migration, account migration is a last resort.

Having people waste their time, and potentially money, buying a VPN service when it won't actually resolve the issue is terrible advice, especially if they've already tried switched servers and VPN's in excess of twenty times.
