Bottom line: the safest step is to always turn in your TVIP when leaving a country and always check the end date.
For those planning to go back and forth between Chile and Argentina, you'll need to turn in your TVIP each time.
PS: Always check the dates entered by tired and underpaid border officials may include typos, no extra charge. Ask me how I know.

Not that I'm trying to convince people to use CdPs however one benefit of a CdP is that it's easy to stamp out of a country, and there's no problem with the paperwork disappearing into a black hole - the original carnet has the customs stamp on the last third of the triptyque.
