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.

Will I lose the points if I close my MB card?
(I do have other Amex cards)


You need another MR card, IIANM, any should be fine.

When did it go up to 3k spend. I applied on 5/30, I thought it was 1k spend, I didn't read the offer, I figured it was 1k spend.

Picked up up a new MB platinum in early April, made $1k spend on it almost immediately but the 50k points never posted.  It's been more than a year since my last MB platinum was closed, but not more than a year since my normal platinum.  Is it even worth it to SM asking about the points, or should I just chalk it up as a loss and not have them look more closely at my churn history?

You probably need to spend 3k.

Cant find it either. :(

I am pretty sure I posted it, but I guess it's in a different thread. Just call the regular costumer service number, and ask them. They will not be able to help you.

I did the $3k spend (statement hasn't closed yet) and the points have posted, but I made a return so my net spend isn't actually $3k.
now I need to downgrade my card asap to get annual fee credit...
will they take the points back once the statement closes and they see that I didn't actually do the $3k spend?

Let's hope it's just an outage, not a tweak or Ch"V the end.
