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.

I applied for an MB Plat today. App didn't show up online right away nor did it give me a reference number. I called him and they told me they didn't see it in the system so I went ahead and applied another 2 times for the same card. After 30 mins, I got emails confirming all 3 of my apps.

I called in to get the apps processed and one was immediately approved. A few min after I got the approval email I got another approval email. I checked the online status and 2/3 MB Plat apps were approved.

Glitch?
Think I'll get both bonuses? Peyos crossed ;D

Terms on the app have been updated to exclude regular Green/Gold/Plat holders.  No more Plat/MB swaps.  Boooo.

Where do you see that?
Still says "this product" on the terms.

Have you ever tried to get Amex to define " product" ? I did in 5 SMs and still left plenty of wiggle room in their definition to exclude people IMO

The question is if it's coded already.

Remember when we freaked out about the new "existing cardmember" language?

The next text is on the landing page but NOT on the app page, so if you want in on it, I'd apply ASAP and takes screenshots.

Fees are charged when the first statement closes.
