Did they charge you the 3.9% merchant fee on the $5.3k you put down? I didn’t know dealers would let you put down payments on a CC?
I’m trying to purchase a new MB in August to take advantage of summer sales event pricing. However, the T&C say I must spend 5k on the card before I get the “$1000 certificate towards a new MB purchase or lease.” Do you think I could retroactively apply this credit to a purchase? I’ll spend 5k this week but I assume the certificate won’t arrive until September or later. I asked MB and AMEX and neither of them could provide a definitive answer because this card is so new. Thanks for your help!
