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.

Is 5 months the suggested waiting period or possibly shorter?

IIRC i think I read that waiting 31 days is technically sufficient for Amex churns (someone CMIIW)... But for me I just didn't want all those pulls so close together on my TU report...

Did the MB Plat application always say this?:

"Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have had this product within the last 12 months."

So seems like the quick churn is nearing an end.....

Did anyone who signed up with the new warning about not having a card in the past year get their points yet?
