LOL, come on MSP, do you really think anyone who posted on this thread before you knows more than you do about these rules?

I've said it before, but will repeat it, I think the most reasonable guess (and admittedly this is not much more than an educated guess) is that the order they are listed on this page the OP referred to:

So the only real question is then which of the first two comes first, and I think the best guess is the first one comes first, but at the risk of sounding like a broken record, that is just an educated guess.

Then, as you allude to, there is the question of what about folks who meet multiple criteria. E.g., I have a Reserve card and have spent $25k on it already, so would that put me ahead of another PM with the Reserve card only at the same fare class? That would seem to be a reasonable approach, but I wouldn't want to put up much money that's how it is actually implemented.

Delta has told us what matters, but not made it clear how that is actually implemented.
