Step up allotment is separate from Vendor allotments and store allotments. When they get a pallet of say.. 200 GPU's.. Then they will be split up. Only a few will go toward step up, some will go to EU, some will go to stores.
If you take a few minutes to look around the step up section, you will see more than a few people over 4 months.
Your title is not catchy, so it can be easily passed over, and that may be why there was a lack of response.
