They probably mean 2 year multiple entry, <=90 days/stay (that's pretty standard terminology). Regardless of what they mean, the fact that such agencies exist and make promises like that underscores my point that it is possible to get better visas that what's offered at the window. Of course, you should do your own DD on them (and others you might be considering), though.
ETA: mistakenly typed greater than or equal to 90 days initially. The days per stay numbers are ceilings (not floors).
