Hello,
If you can‘t redeem your App Store & iTunes Gift Card, Apple Music Gift Card, or content code - https://support.apple.com/HT201195#differentcountry --> Card or code is from a different country or region:
"If you see a message that says the code must be redeemed in another storefront, the card was probably purchased in another country or region. You can't redeem Apple Gift Cards or App Store & iTunes Gift Cards outside of the country or region of purchase. For example, if you bought an App Store & iTunes Gift Card in France, you can't redeem it in the App Store in the United States."
You will likely not find it easy to change your country setting to the USA and even if you do you will have to spend all your balance before you can reset your country to a different one So no, you can't set it back to Argentina and keep the gift balance.
