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.

Went today to the dealership in Manhattan, here are some pictures of the selection there. Confirmed that my certificate worked no problem on a cancelled card. They are very overpriced on some items more than others.

Where exactly in the city was it?

Can you use multiple certificates for one purchase?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Not IME. They needed to process each order under one specific name.

Shoot. Just threw mine out because I thought I remembered it was mentioned here that it doesn't work.

When I saw you quoted my post I got excited. I thought you had a way for me to get it even though I threw it out. Oh well!

IIRC it can't be downgraded to fee-free card. You could downgrade to the green with $95 AF.
