This practice is extensively discussed in this thread:

...your report seems to be the first that is not related to the specific offer which was originally discussed in that thread.

wrt the spend requirement, how exactly is "your first 3 months of Card Membership" defined?
In other words, how can I figure out the deadline for my $3K in spending to post?

I got in on the Mercedes Benz Amex Card 75K bonus miles offer recently. I already had an American Express Business Platinum card; have had it for several years. So I read elsewhere that you could still get the bonus on a second Platinum card since it's considered different.
Well, I just met the spend and the points were applied immediately once I went over the $3K mark. Amazed. So yeah. It worked.
Now I got 75K miles to spend on another trip.
Not so sure about a Mercedes lease though. Maybe if I can apply it to a certified MB... anyone get anywhere with that?

I did the same and now all my points are frozen. I was told that the MB card spending was under review. Not a penny of MS in the 4k plus I put on it so not sure what caused me to get flagged. My personal platinum bonus had posted two months earlier but CS manager at membedrship rewards said that it was the MB card that was under review. Now I have 170k that I want to transfer to BA while the bonus is on that it appears I can't use. Told inquiry was opened Aug. 30 and that it would take 6 - 8 weeks

Mercedes Benz Platinum Card Benefits Specific Questions
I'm thinking of leasing/buying a Mercedes Benz soon. I have a few questions about the Mercedes Benz benefits of this card and if anyone can answer it, thanks a lot.
So the benefits states:
Receive a $1,000 certificate each year you charge $5,000 in purchases on the Card good toward the future purchase or lease of a new Mercedes-Benz.
5X Membership RewardsŪ points on select Mercedes-Benz purchases.
Up to 2,000 excess miles waived on leases through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services.
The $1,000 certificate - is there any way for it to be applied to the monthly payments? Does it expire? Can I get the card for a few years and accumulate several of these certificates to apply towards the lease/purchase of a new car?
What exactly is "Mercedes Benz purchases"?
Thanks a bunch.
