In case you didn’t know American Express will be discontinuing the Mercedes-Benz program in 2019. You can still apply for the cards, but they will be converted to another American Express card when the program is discontinued. Because of that a lot of readers want to get the sign up bonus on the Mercedes-Benz Platinum card before it’s discontinued, this is because you can only get the sign up bonus on each American Express card once. American Express also added the following language to the Mercedes-Benz Platinum card when the discontinuation was announced:
- This offer is not valid for existing Platinum Card Members from American Express.
This would mean if you have another variation of the Platinum card from American Express you would not be eligible for this Mercedes-Benz card. Reddit user second_most has both the regular Platinum, Business Platinum & Ameriprise Platinum and signed up for the Mercedes-Benz Platinum. They meet the minimum spend requirement on 3/15 and the points posted 3/17. perpetualChurner has the regular Platinum and also received the sign up bonus on the Mercedes-Benz card. Obviously no guarantees this will be the case if you sign up, but definitely a good sign.
