I don't think GLD/Silver has access to IN and XN inventory, although I could be wrong.
So when I attempt to make a revenue ticket purchase, it will show all the inventory available for sale and the number available upto 9 and that is how I saw IN3 I3 XN9 X0.
But the problem was when I tried to book that flight as an award, it didn't give me the opportunity to book the Business/First Class Saver award online when I was logged in. But when I logged off, it showed that the Business/First Saver award was available.
I will say I was not looking at expert mode. I was actually just doing an award booking from the home page either logged in or logged out. That is where I was seeing the different award availability.
