I am one of those. Will be sitting on 124K MQMs after by Christmas TATL home. I figure that will give me 49K rollover and so easy to get PM for 2014 with some rollover for 2015 too. If I did a 2.5k mqm purchase to get me to 125K or even change my TATL routing to go via AMS - yes I would be Diamond but probably only Gold in 2014. I would prefer to be PM - PM rather than Diamond-Gold.

However, I am a little intrigued but I think I know the answer. IN the extremely unlikely situation of two PMs vying for the same upgrade, both on the same fare - let us say T, both having DL Plat Amex both booking at similar times, both OLCI at similar times, the system would NOT differentiate between the PM with 75k mqms and the one with 124k mqms?
It shouldn't and having the DL Plat credit card doesn't matter either, only the Reserve card.

The final tiebreaker is time of upgrade request which is normally time of ticketing, presumably recorded down to the second by delta.dumb so having a tie here should not happen.
