Effective April 28, 2025, American Express will decommission its Auto Purchasing Program. This announcement is crucial for anyone considering leveraging this program, especially those interested in purchasing a Mercedes-Benz. If you’ve been eyeing a new Mercedes-Benz and planning to use the American Express Auto Purchasing Program, it’s essential to understand the timeline and available alternatives.
The American Express Auto Purchasing Program, designed to offer cardholders a streamlined car buying experience, is coming to an end. All offers made through this program, including upfront price quotes, will expire on their stated expiration dates and will not extend beyond April 28, 2025. For Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts who may have considered this program for their next purchase, it is vital to note these key dates.
While the program itself is ending, TrueCar’s Buyer’s Bonus associated with purchases made through the American Express Auto Purchasing Program will remain available for a limited time. For purchases completed and reported through the program, you can still take advantage of the Buyer’s Bonus until June 19, 2025. To ensure eligibility, purchases must be reported within 45 days of completion by calling 1-877-924-2922, especially important for those finalizing a Mercedes-Benz purchase soon.
After April 28, 2025, the American Express Auto Purchasing Program will no longer be operational. Mercedes-Benz buyers and other customers will need to explore alternative purchasing and financing options. For any queries regarding the American Express Auto Purchasing Program, you can still reach out to 1-877-924-2922. For questions specifically about your American Express Card and other services, contact 1-800-528-4800.
Remember, American Express and TrueCar do not directly sell or lease vehicles. The program served as an informational service connecting buyers with certified dealers. All vehicle purchases and pricing are negotiated directly with participating dealers. While this program is ending, always remember to explore financing options directly with Mercedes-Benz dealerships and other financial institutions to find the best deals for your Mercedes-Benz purchase.
