Effective April 28, 2025, the American Express Auto Purchasing Program will be discontinued. This means that after this date, the program, including any associated benefits such as potential Amex Mercedes Discounts, will no longer be available.
If you are considering leveraging the American Express Auto Purchasing Program for a Mercedes-Benz purchase or any other vehicle, it’s crucial to be aware of these upcoming changes. Any existing offers or upfront price quotes obtained through the program will expire on their originally stated end dates. Therefore, if you have an offer in hand, ensure you understand its expiration timeline and act accordingly.
While the American Express Auto Purchasing Program itself is ending, TrueCar’s Buyer’s Bonus benefits will still be honored for purchases completed through the program, provided they are reported by June 19, 2025. To qualify for these benefits on purchases made before April 28, 2025, you must report your purchase by calling 1-877-924-2922 within 45 days of the transaction.
This change may impact how American Express cardholders access potential discounts on vehicles, including Mercedes-Benz. Historically, the program may have offered streamlined access to pricing information and potentially negotiated rates. With its decommissioning, exploring alternative avenues for securing the best possible deals on your next Mercedes-Benz will be essential.
For any inquiries regarding the American Express Auto Purchasing Program and how this change might affect you, please contact 1-877-924-2922. If you have questions specifically about your American Express Card account, you can reach customer service at 1-800-528-4800.
Remember, TrueCar, Inc., the operator of the information website associated with the program, provides data on vehicle pricing and specifications. However, they do not directly sell or lease vehicles. All vehicles listed are offered by licensed dealers, and the final purchase price is always negotiated directly between you and the dealer. Vehicle availability and pricing are subject to change and confirmation by the participating dealer. American Express does not guarantee vehicle purchases, and TrueCar and participating dealers are responsible for fulfilling program benefits and the opportunity to use your American Express card for a portion of the purchase.
