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 MB Plat yesterday and it got stuck in pending review after I called to expedite and they said everything was fine but will take a couple days to finalize processing.

They didn't mention anything to me about a letter.

Update:
Just called again and they said it was being handled by a special team that needs to verify information with me before they can finalize processing and that I should except a call from them. Nothing about a letter.

How is that what you were talking about? In your post you said the rep told you that they need to send you a letter.

I said the rep didn't mention anything about a letter to me. Just that I should expect a call.

No thanks. I'm before the AF, so I'm just asking for the $1000 which I never received. Will I have luck calling next year for a $2000?
