Level of Million Miler matter for pecking order??
Not sure on this one.... Does one's LEVEL of Million Miler count on the upgrade list among all the tie breakers? Meaning, all other things equal, will a 2 Million Miler clear before a 1 Million Miler? Asking for a friend....

DL doesn't seem to indicate it matters. And as the 6th level tie-breaker, it would very, very rarely come into play even if it did matter -- https://www.delta.com/us/en/skymiles...llion-upgrades

I doubt there's ever a case of two million milers not being already sorted based on the other criteria above.

It can be a bit confusing at first since it's in a footnote. But, as noted above, having earned status for 2022 (as opposed to extended status) is effectively the second tie-breaker after Medallion status level for upgrades after 1/31/2022 through 2022 program year.

Oh, correct, I misread and thought the #5 about the MQD waiver was referring to that. My bad. Ignore my post.

I hit MM a few years back. Even with Mrs BHammy (also DM) hitting the card spend, I found myself ahead of her on all upgrade scenarios.
Mrs BHammy just hit MM about 4 months ago, and while I don't have a credible historical trend built up, but the last two times we've flown together, I've still been ahead of her on the upgrade list.
At this point, I would tend to think that either higher MM gets perked, or (s)he who hit MM first may be the trump?

Does DL have historical data on when people hit MM with PMNW?
