nice, what did you do?
I told him that I still didn't get my 50k from the last time I upgraded:)
He said he couldn't change the past!

I also have a 100k offer sitting on my desk. I am first clearing my starwood thresholds.

So on 8/23/13 I closed my personal PRG, and my business green reward card (which was before a business platinum and even before that (originally...) a business gold card) due to an impossible F/R on the business card ;D

So my question is: now more than 90 days later can I apply for the mercedes benz and/or the spg?? (Or any better options?)

Not asking in regards to the FR issue, asking in regards to time needed between applications etc, thanx.

so since the only PERSONAL card from amex I ever had was the PRG card, and that's already closed more than 90 days, what PERSONAL amex cards can I get now? Or rather what cards can i NOT get now?

The gold and platinum are considered the same product and needs to be closed for a year before getting the bonus again.

Not sure if the MB Platinum is considered the same as a regular Platinum. If yes, you most likely will not get the bonus.

According to the current T&C, if you had the Gold within the past 90 days you won't get the sign-up bonus for the MB Plat.

There are no blanket rules. You gotta read each card's bonus' T&C before applying. In the MB Plat's case, for example, the gold is definitely not considered a plat.
