I personally recoup my Green Card's annual fee + more by taking advantage of the Amex Offers. If that's not something you'd see yourself taking advantage of then definitely close it.
Yes, I really like and use AMEX offers as well. Unforunately, I do not see the benefit in paying 3 annual fees when I can just use my MB Platinum Card now and earn the same rewards. I also have the PRG and the EveryDay CC so.... I think closing it is best.

Yes, the MB Platinum Card comes with the same benefits with some added 'perks'. You get 50,000 Membership Rewards® points after you charge $3,000 in purchases on the Card within the first three months of Card Membership as opposed to 40,000 MR points with the regular Platinum unless you are targeted with a higher offer.
You also receive a $1000 certificate each year you charge $5,000 in purchases, good toward the future purchase or lease of a new Mercedes-Benz.
You can also get up to 2,000 excess miles waived at lease-end on leases through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services.
And you get a $100 certificate at renewal of your Card account, good toward Genuine Mercedes-Benz Accessories.
The Annual fee for the MB Platinum card is $475. I do not mind paying $25 more for 10,000 MR Points!
I currently drive BMW, so I do not mind the German Luxury branding of this card. Who knows... maybe I will go with Mercedes-Benz in the future...

Personally, I will utilize these added perks - to some degree. Per the benefit terms... only 1 certificate can be used toward the purchase or lease of a Mercedes-Benz, and they expire within one year of the issue date - issued to the Basic Card Member. The $100.00 certificate cannot be redeemed online, but only at a dealership and it can not be used for parts or service. In essence, these perks are more for lifestyle accessories than for vehicle parts/service, and I am completely fine with that. I like the branding of the card. What adds more luxury than the Mercedes-Benz co-branding?
