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.

Worked for me too, I just said I received it and it was about losing AA/USAir lounge access and that I agreed.

Thanks bochur.

It'll be a miracle if we get the cards in time though for airline credit.

I got approved and when I originally called I asked them to expedite the card to me, I just called to make sure it was being overnighted and they said there's nothing they can do now because its been finalized today and expect the card by Jan 6th?

Anyone get that before?

Add an AU and request it to be overnighted.

How? The card was only approved today, won't show up online until I register it but I need to receive the card before I can do that.

Don't mention anything about not receiving your card yet.

Just day you don't have it on you  and you need them to look up your account with your ss. 

Ask about balance etc,  and then ask to add an AU.
