I know american offers a challenge to get to gold and plat for anyone that calls, but will they status match me to exp if im already 1k?
No

Do EXPs almost always get upgrades on domestic flights?
Percentages are high, but some routes can be tough, even for EXP

Are there any fare requirements for using the systemwide upgrades for international flights?
Not anymore. Used to be that a couple of the lowest buckets were excluded, but this changed about 3 weeks ago.

Do EXPs get luggage tags?
Yes.

Anything else I should know before making my decision? Thanks
