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 did 4
BIZ PLT AND BGR
PER PRG AND MB
 and 5 for a friend fifth was after I wasn't able to push MB so I added regular PLT
(non was done on a 4BM had to get the right offers ;))

If you read the Amex reconsideration thread on DDF you will see that other people have done 2BM, 3BM and couldn't push through last app and had to wait 3-5 days

:(
