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.

Spg goes up pretty reliably once a year. Perhaps that will happen with this card too. For those who missed it this year, I would wait a while to apply just in case a higher offer does come around... don't jump into it right now

I wasn't answering you. I was extrapolating from that info to assume that the bonus on this card may also go up annually

Can the certificates be used after the card is cancelled?

They told me it becomes void between 24-48 hours after the card is cancelled but to be on the safe side use it and then cancel.
