They must be running different surveys as the one I got provided for a total of 3 (1 at PRO and only 2 at EXP). Survey stated a max of 2 for the EXP level. Given AA's general pull-out from long-haul LAX ops, there's just not enough value at 3 eVIPS to try to retain EXP. The UA system, which enables top elites to choose from domestic and int'l UPGs works pretty well in terms of enabling each elite some control over how to use UPGs.
