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.

Tried the link a few times over the past half hour and not going through: "Currently, our systems are not responding. Please try again later or call the phone number included in your offer." We apologise for the inconvenience and look forward to serving you."  Anyone getting this on other applications? (Notice their spelling mistake).

Did you check application status. Sometimes that happens but in reality the app went through.

I'm just wondering, what's the benefit to having this card over the regular platinum? Tia

I'm asking why are people getting more than 1 or 2 platinum cards at a time? What's so great about this card if you don't drive a Mercedes?

There are 75k good reasons to get it now.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
