So that means that at the same medallion level, fare class, etc without a Reserve card, medallions that qualified using AMEX exemption are ranked above those who qualified with normal MQD spend. That has the potential to be HUGE!
I really don't think it has the potential to be HUGE since it is only a tie-breaker and I suspect the tie-breakers are listed in order of priority, meaning it is the third tie-breaker at that after Reserve and Corporate status.
