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.

It's a good point, but that language has been enforced to mean personal vs. business.

So if I just canceled a business platinum I am safe to apply for the MB one.  Thanks.

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.
took your advice and got the points! Question is, do I have a year wait from the MB or the last time I had a regular platinum? At the time I got the bonus for the MB it was still a different product, no?

When I called Amex new applications they told me I had to wait 12 months since the time I closed the card to be able to get the points. Seems they are becoming stricter on their ToS in general.

You can always get the BGR and upgrade when/if the upgrade comes out again.
Maybe you can get them to offer you an upgrade over the phone too.
