Individual resorts appear to have a lot of control over how inventory is made available for VC points reservation. As a Chairman member, I should be able to reserve at any resort at 13 months. However, I discovered several patterns at Hilton Head resorts and Canyon Villas when I was checking availability.
Surf Watch only released 3BR at 13 months. I checked every date in Jan and Feb 13 months in advance and only 3 BR were available for any checkin date. Similarly, Canyon Villas only had studios available in March at 13 months (I checked every March check-in date). I was requesting 6-7 day stays.The smaller HH resorts had no availability until the 12 Month mark. These requests were for the lowest season. It is obvious that each resort is playing their own games, and this just isn't ethical.
