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 applying for new AMEX cards when you are already a cardmember; is it better to answer "yes" to already a cardmember or "no" and answer all of your information again?

Thanks

IMO it's better to enter all your information . At least that's what I do .

Hey everyone. I knon this is about the MB Plat, but I got a question about the Buisness Plat: I recently got an offer for the Bus. Plat with a sign up bonus of 50,000 points for spending 5k in 3 mo. I figure if I do a 3bm with AMEX that this is a good deal for a bus. card (I recently got the bus. gold card with a sign up bonus of 75,000 points for spending 10k in 4 months. AMEX confirmed that I will be eligible for both promotions).

Any imput? I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Applied for the MB Plat (while I had the reg Plat), got approved, spend, got the 50k bonus.

Called in to cancel my reg Plat, didn't even ask for a refund on the AF (have it already for 6 months), but today I got a refund for $262.50. Not bad at all  :)

Thanks.

I got the MB card. Does it make a difference if I make a separate Amex login for this card or add it to the one with my current regular platinum card?

Thanks again.

CMIIAW, but I believe AMEX SOP is that cancel within 60 days you get full refund. Cancel later in the year you get pro rated refund. IN theory you shouldn't have to call/sm for the refund.
