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.

No explanation of what the problem is online though (i.e., is it supposed to be dead)?

Remind me- Is this considered a different product than the regular Platinum card? Would someone get the points if they've had the Platinum card within the year?

Able to downgrade to a free card after 2 months?  Also, how many free cards are there you can downgrade to?  I have  PRG I need to downgrade soon.

Don't downgrade. Cancel and get the 1 year clock ticking...

Well I need one card on file so I can keep points alive, no?  I want to save them for the next BA bonus so I will need to keep at least one.

Sorry for the noob question but is the MR points from the Amex MB credit card (not the Plat charge card) transferable to other person? That is, can I sell them? TIA.

Amex MB credit card = Plat charge card. (Albeit you can get both bonuses in less than a year apart)
