Also, I agree that diamonds on awards should clear above plats. Hotel status works the same way. You get your elite benefits, including room upgrades, even on award stays.

What is the priority within each status level if two travelers have the same fare class?

Priority Medallion Level Clearance Priority
1. All Medallions on Y Class Fares At time of ticketing by Medallion Tier
2. Diamond Medallion 5 calendar days in advance for revenue B, M, H, Q, K, L, U, T class fares2 followed by Award Tickets and Pay with Miles
3. Platinum Medallion 5 calendar days in advance for revenue B, M, H, Q, K, L, U, T class fares2 followed by Award Tickets and Pay with Miles
4. Gold Medallion 3 calendar days in advance for revenue B, M, H,Q, K, L, U, T class fares2 followed by Award Tickets and Pay with Miles
5. Silver Medallion 1 calendar day in advance for B, M, H, Q, K, L, U, T class fares2

"Pay with Miles" tickets are not eligible for upgrade I believe. That may have changed when award upgrades went into effect, but I'm not sure.
