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.

Not necessarily a No AF one but can definitely downgrade to PRG/Green.

Is this card not referable? Only see that I can refer for the regular Platinum, not MB Plat.

Yes.
R u sure?
IIRC, if you got the regular plat, the mb is considered the same product, and u won't get the bonus.

I don't like these "are you sure" questions. If I wasn't, I wouldn't have answered.

Positive.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

You're right. Sometimes people just need reconfirmation, when you say something that they understood to be different.

They verify that you're a Morgan Stanley account holder before approving, which puts it out of reach for many.

There's a new Charles Schwab one. But I think you can only get it if you have a brokerage account with them.
