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.

Does the MB certificate come in the welcome package, or is it a credit like the airline charges?

question that fits here bc it happened with my mb platinum, but it also happened with my platinum
i left the amount of the fee unpaid and they said i have to pay it and i will be reimbursed if i cancel before 60 days. fine, that is annoying, but ill get reimbursed when i cancel.
but in terms of the points, my statement closed april 10th, the spending was done, and now the next statement closed. the guy told me there is another month lag and i dont get the points til june 10th.  but i have to close the cards by then. does it always take 2 months after the spending month closes to get the points?

That date is usually the latest it will show by. Maybe wait a week and call/chat to see if they can expedite them for you.

Worst comes to worst, you close the card after 6/10 and get a prorated amount back.

Was not saying that was the best option, just a worst case scenario.

It's worth mentioning if you have a MB lease this card gives you an extra 2,000 miles, which can be worth $500

"Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had a Platinum Card® account enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program"

I had the platinum a few years ago, anyone know if I would qualify for this?
