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.

When the old PGGM thread was still alive reports were that it had been taking at least 10 days for the credit to post.

Ugh. Amex doesn't match, right?
There have been several reports of them giving goodwill points after an increased offer, ask for a manager if rep is unwilling.

Don't need them looking into my account too deeply. As somebody else mentioned previously, Amex has already given me a couple hundred thousand "goodwill" points this year ;)

Applied a few weeks ago for 50k, so called to see if will be matched. Rep explained that offer goes by month....nothing he could do.... , and that next month it will be 40k.... (if his words have any value).
But when I pushed harder, he said that his manager will call me back.
Manager just phoned to let me know that I'll be matched to 75k!!
Thanks guys,
Gut Yom Tov!

Looks like we had a Techiyas Hameisim with this card!

(Or they want to pump it out before losing another partner...)

If I had this card 2 years, I won't qualify for the bonus, correct?

Yes.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Tnx

If you downgrade it after a month or 2 to a green card, is the $95 fee waived the first year?
