I think that might just be an update/repost to the original one they did, where TJ did consult both me and this thread.

I think you're misreading that part about MM though. "Within each status tier, 2 Million Milers and Million Milers have priority." It's not that MM comes first overall, just that SM > SE.

It's definitely possible that it was something like a J lowest redemption with that segment in PY.
