    Smile 2 new reward cards for Mercedes Benz

    This is the new boy in town.

    AMEX - MB: Earn 5x points on eligible Mercedes-Benz purchases, 3x points on gas purchases, 2x points on restaurants, 1x points on everything else.

    This one looks better for people who drive a lot and need to refuel a every second day.

    Is it better than AMEX GPR?
    1 point for every eligible dollar, 3x points on airfare, 2x points on gas & groceries and at the American Express Travel website. 2X - 10X with select partners

    how much does a mercedes benz cost? how much does the oil and lube cost plus all other parts and labor?

    I have a feeling it cost more than Brooks brothers .

    when somebody tells you that you get 5x points at a mercedes dealer you might want to ask yourself the questions I asked you. then you might want to think about comparing 5x points from a store vantage point like Brooks brothers, I just used that store as an example.

    I don't care about the 5x for buying a new MB, i think that the 3x Points on gas purchases and 2x points at restaurants are better than the 2x points on gas from GPW, at least based on my expenses.

    Does any one have any idea what happens to any of these cards?

    I have not heard or read anything about them.
