Yes, it comes with the same benefits. The annual fees is slightly higher - $475 vs. $450 for the regular.

Applied tonight for an AMEX MB Plat card for 50K points for $1K spend. Was approved immediately with an additional user (will add 2 more soon).
$475 fee is only $25 incremental, and it makes sense since the regular Plat has a $3K spend, so that's $2K I can put to other cards. Also, we have a MB in the family, so I guess free accessories/stuff for that is worth it.
Can't wait to have this card in the wallet. Airline lounges are one thing, I want STAPLES CENTER lounge access

Global Entry Questions
Has anyone with the MB card been reimbursed recently for Global Entry? How long does it take?
Also, is it correct that I can get reimbursed for a second Global Entry fee (e.g. for spouse) next calendar year?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delay, I'm actually an AU on this AMEX Plat. The cardholder in question has a DL Amex personal plat and a Biz Gold Open card. Personal accounts dating back to the 1990s.

I have received offers from AMEX to upgrade my card in the past and give me a 25,000 bonus. They just do a card program conversion instead of a credit hit and new account opening. If you do this you would not be eligible for a new account opening bonus on the Platinum though.

I believe it is just regular Platinum. However once u get it (hopefully with an upgrade bonus), u may call AMEX and see if they might switch u to a MB Plat card.

Just got the MB certificate in the mail. Is there any rule against selling it on eBay? If there is, any recommendations of what I can buy that might have resale value? I'm an Acura guy.

I applied for this card Tuesday night, instant approval. I currently have the regular AmEx platinum. They expedited the card, it arrived yesterday. Two year's worth of airline credits as well as the 50,000MR bonus - well worth the $475 fee.

I ruled out the eBay option based on the fact my name is on the certificate. I have started asking MB owners at work if they are interested - first one wasn't interested - but if I get a taker the person can pick something out at the dealer and I can go get it.
