It's honestly the ugliest card Amex offers, and I can't think of another card from the major lenders that looks worse than that.


I pretty sure you won't find one in your search Smiley LOL

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Looks as bad as the prepaid AMEX!


Maybe it's just me, but I actually like the way it looks. Mercedes-Benz is all everyone wants to see! Robot tongue

I do too, it's not the best in the world but not bad by any means.  The extra points on gas is pretty nice too!

I find MB cars to be quite boring actually. Unless you're looking at something like their SLR McLaren, I can't find much to get excited about when looking at their lineup.

Re: Help with amex questions

You can get the amex blue which also earns MR points... all your pints for all your MR earning cards can be dumped into the same membership rewards program. My husband and I are feeding our program from each of our zync and PRG cards.

Re: Help with amex questions

The blue earns MR express points; but those turn into regular MR points when you add a.regular MR card such as PRG or green.

I like it. I am thinking of getting it snce it earns pretty decent points and the AF is lower than PRG. Its not the best looking card but I wouldnt call it ugly. I think the green is sexy. You cant be driving a honda and have this card though. I can get by since I occasionally drive my 30 year old benz. Its older than me!!
