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.

Yes. It works.

was always led to believe that with delta it works but with amex lounge you cant, bec they have all your info right in front of them and can see if your account is open or closed...

i was talking about the Mercedes platinum card or any plat card, that it works in the delta lounge when its not active (until card expires) but when using the Mercedes plat card for the amex lounge i heard reports of it NOT working. it has to be active.

i was...

i know i mentioned delta and this is a Mercedes bens fourm -but i was just giving delta lounge as an example bec thats one of the lounges that any plat (incl. Mercedes) gets you into weather the card is active or not. so i wanted to know if the mercedez platnum card (or any plat card) will let you into the amex lounge with the card not being active-bec unlike in delta amex has all your account info right in front of them and they can tell if your trying to get in with a closed card.

He wasn't referring to lounge access at all, look again.
