The American Express Auto Purchasing Program is scheduled to be decommissioned, ceasing operations effective April 28, 2025. This announcement is crucial for anyone who has utilized or considered using this program, especially those interested in brands like “Amex Benz,” a term often associated with using American Express benefits for luxury car purchases such as Mercedes-Benz.
After April 28, 2025, the American Express Auto Purchasing Program will no longer be accessible. Any existing price offers or benefits provided through this program will expire on their originally stated end dates. It’s important to note that while the direct purchasing program is ending, TrueCar’s Buyer’s Bonus benefits will continue to be honored for purchases completed through the program, but only if reported by June 19, 2025.
For those who complete a purchase through the American Express Auto Purchasing Program before its discontinuation, it is essential to report your purchase to claim TrueCar’s Buyer’s Bonus benefits. To ensure you receive these benefits for eligible purchases, you must report them within 45 days of the purchase date by calling 1-877-924-2922. This reporting must be completed for purchases made before April 28, 2025, and no later than June 19, 2025, to take advantage of the remaining TrueCar benefits.
If you have any questions regarding the American Express Auto Purchasing Program and its decommissioning, please contact 1-877-924-2922. For any inquiries specifically about your American Express Card or account, please call 1-800-528-4800 for assistance.
Remember, while American Express facilitated this program through TrueCar, they do not directly sell or lease vehicles. All vehicles listed were offered by licensed dealers, and pricing was always negotiated directly between the buyer and the dealer. American Express does not guarantee vehicle purchases, and the fulfillment of benefits was managed by TrueCar and participating dealers. The opportunity to use your American Express Card for a portion of the purchase, specifically $2,000 or more, was also managed by the participating dealers and subject to credit limitations.
This update is particularly relevant for those in the market for a vehicle and considering options like an “Amex Benz,” as the program’s end impacts potential purchasing routes and associated benefits. Ensure to take note of these critical dates if you intended to leverage the American Express Auto Purchasing Program for your next vehicle acquisition.
