Regarding the new 100k offer, that ddfers have been using it for 6 months, does that mean they never had regular plat or they figured out how many years to wait to reapply?
Yup, thats why they are upset at Dan. They were planning to use this again in 2023.

Other than the 75k MR and the $200x2 AFC, what other benefits of the Merc Pt can compensate for the $495 AF if you are not a Merc owner?
Can you sell the $1000 Merc certificate?

$495-(2x$200)=$95. Even if you assign a value of $.01 to MR, that's $750. Net gain of $655. :D
But, yes, there are other benefits to all platinum cards, look it up...
