YTD miles are not officially one of the criteria used to determine position on the waitlist but some gate agents might use it.
The official criteria are, in order:
1. Status
2. Fare Paid
3. Time Added to DM List</font>
Gate agents don't have the time to go into individual MP accts. and compare YTD miles.
The list above is correct. Obviously, time added to the DM list is the official tie-breaker.
