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.

I always got the points immediately after spending, but not this month,

(And I've been doing this for the past 2 years)

just to clarify, is a first timer a first timer with amex platinum (ie. vanilla) or a first timer with this card (ie.  the mb)

Let me clarify, Saying a first timer got his points quickly is neither good nor bad news, it really does not tell us how a second app would be rewarded .

Saying a second time applicant got his immediately would be good news , and if Amex is going to start
Scrutinizing second apps., it might be time to diversify my MR before I reapply .

Applied for the MB in May, cancelled it in June, applied again in September. I met the spend and didn't see any pending points, so I SM'ed and was assured that I will receive the 50K in 6-8 weeks. So fingers crossed.

Only issue was that they hit me with the AF 3 days after receiving the card, leaving me with very little leeway in which to request a refund.

In roughly the same boat and got the same response, though my 8 weeks from spend is coming next week... so lets see if they really issue the points (or they suddenly remember something about a "12 month rule"!)
