For those looking to leverage their American Express benefits when purchasing vehicles, including luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz, it’s crucial to be aware of an upcoming change. The American Express Auto Purchasing Program is scheduled to be decommissioned, impacting future car buying plans.
Effective April 28, 2025, the American Express Auto Purchasing Program will officially end. This means that after this date, the program will no longer be available for American Express cardholders. Any existing offers or upfront price quotes obtained through the program will expire on their originally stated end dates. If you are in the process of purchasing a vehicle through this program, it’s important to finalize your purchase and reporting promptly.
The TrueCar’s Buyer’s Bonus, a benefit associated with purchases made via the American Express Auto Purchasing Program, will remain available for qualifying purchases completed and reported by June 19, 2025. To ensure you receive this bonus for purchases made before April 28, 2025, remember to report your purchase by calling 1-877-924-2922 within 45 days of the transaction. This reporting deadline is crucial to claim your benefits before they expire.
If you have any inquiries specifically about the American Express Auto Purchasing Program and its decommissioning, please contact 1-877-924-2922 for assistance. For any other questions related to your American Express Card account or services, please call 1-800-528-4800 to speak with an American Express representative directly.
It’s important to remember that TrueCar, Inc. operates the information website related to the Auto Purchasing Program, providing data on vehicle pricing and specifications. Neither TrueCar nor American Express is involved in brokering, selling, or leasing vehicles directly. Participating dealers set their own prices, and vehicle availability is subject to dealer inventory and prior sale. American Express does not guarantee vehicle purchases, and TrueCar and participating dealers are responsible for fulfilling program benefits. The opportunity to use your American Express Card for a portion of your vehicle purchase, specifically at least $2,000, is managed by the participating certified dealer, and standard credit limitations apply.
