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.

It looks like you only get the certificate after the first yr. Did I read it correctly?
Nope. It comes within 2 weeks of approval.

What's with the $2000 waiver on a leased car. Does the lease need to be taken out with the card? Or as long as you make a CC payment you're good to go?

The MB certificate doesn't work anymore once the card is closed/downgraded, right?

Is there a resale market for the $100 merchandise certificate or the $1000 vehicle purchase certificate? Are they transferrable?

Has anyone had experience selling the certificates? If so, what is a good venue?

It's a long established fact that these certificates are worthless. This has been an established DDF fact since 2012.
