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.

Why not simply apply by phone? I'm sure you can get a rep to promise you the 50K...

Iv'e had it not working for me a while ago, hope for the best!

MR starting to suck. Chase has long overtaken Amex. Now Citi starting to take over amex too.

Besides the point that the price of sold MR has dropped.

  Make sure you get name and all the info of who promised you what. Amex just denied me 10K that I was promised after 6 HUCAs and the famous recording cant be found .

How does that really help us.

Not that I totally trust what one singular poster writes.

It doesn't really help us. But I do trust one singular poster.

The last thing I would do is trust a singular FT poster.
Not only n00b misinformation, but also there's lately an increase of intentionally misleading information.
What their כוונות are is up for debate.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Maybe the link is just broken? The 10k link works still.

Also how is Citi overtaking MR? I thought TYP sucked?
