Amex Mercedes Platinum Approved!

B335is · ‎01-02-2015

So far just the single pull from my earlier SPG application/approval. I applied for both cards about 30mins apart New Years morning. Both pending. Called on SPG this morning and approved. Made a second call tonight for Platinum, the CSR was incredibly friendly, and got approved after verifying it was indeed me!

Popa,

Thanks! I've never been big on Mercedes, but I'd buy one over a GM. I might be in the market in 12 months for a new car. I've had my eyes on a BMW M5, but buying a house or condo may be a better use of the money

Especially when one of these can cost as much as a home.
