The Amex Mercedes-Benz Plat has been discontinued. All former MP Plat card have been converted into regular Amex Platinums.

The Amex Mercedes-Benz Plat has all the same benefits as the Amex Plat.

Differences:
Annual fee is $495 $475 instead of $450
$100 Worthless gift certificate for in dealership overpriced tchotchkas from Mercedes-Benz
Link (You cannot use the Certificate online)
(Edit from ae123: Overpriced yes, but not worthless....watches, travel mugs, ice bags, caps, etc.)
You can get a $200 reimbursement for some airline spends, once every calender year.
Global Entry $100 Fee Credit - Global Entry is the US government’s expedited immigration program for frequent travelers. It costs $100 and is good for 5 years.

Nice.
The link in the OP is still working for 50K. Are you referring to that link, or another one?

Are you sure it's for this card and not the non-MB Platinum (there are two 50k links circulating for that).

One of the benefits of this card is a cert for $100 of accessories at a MB dealer, what can I get with it? A Key chain? ???

I would try to find a dealer who'll pay you $80 for it.

I am going to lease a MB and pay for it all upfront.
Wonder If I can get the dealer to take a card...and if its a qualifying purchase.

Cardmembers will accrue 5 Membership Rewards® points in their program account for every eligible dollar charged and billed on their Platinum Card from American Express exclusively for Mercedes-Benz at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships, excluding monthly loan and lease payments, and 1 point on all other eligible purchases.

Although it does seem like you can get a $1000 cert for the lease if you spend $5000 on the card. So 50k MR and $1000 sounds like a pretty good offer to me

So I have to wait to get the card and spend $5000 to get the cert.

I saw that print but I am paying the lease at once hence its not a monthly payment.

I'm sure they'll prorate this one as well.
Prorate? Does that mean you don't get the full refund?
If you don't care why would you comment?

As stated above, a few people (myself included), got approved while having an open platinum card.

Prorate? Does that mean you don't get the full refund?

After 60 days, yes.
