technically you may not be eligible but many many people have gotten both and even multiple times for the same card!
don't worry too much but as usual YMMV.

Question:

In this link for the MB Plat https://www304.americanexpress.com/personal-card-application/mercedes-benz-platinum-card/20005-10-0 , it says that applicants who have this product in the last 12 months will not be eligible for the 50K welcome bonus. Is the MB plat considered a different product than the regular plat. I had and canceled the reg. plat within the past twelve months. Anyone know if I will still get the MB plat bonus?

The new language went in about a month or 2 ago? Everyone who had their plats and cancelled before that has got the bonus again successfully as far as I know.

The real test is to have someone get the bonus post new language, then cancel and try and get the bonus again in under 12 months

They canceled my app 2 weeks ago for the Plat MB. When I called up to ask why, they said b/c I had the card back in April. Might just be dumb luck though.

Does the 60 day timer to cancel start after your membership fee hits, or the day you get approved for the card?

Seriously? You don't remember how many issues there were with getting the points with the 3K link posted here? No, thank you.

I'm happy to support, but not if it means possibly losing out on the bonus.

I thought it was the $1k link(s) causing all the issues, hence my question to you.

Don't recall -- it was either the 3K link causing the problems, or I couldn't find a reliable Vanilla Plat for 50K offer.

Does the MB platinum offer all the same features as regular?

(like the lounge access, $200 airline credit etc..)
