Since this is more than 12 mos. out, most people can't deposit yet. Also - it's the week after Easter - spring break for many schools.

Aloha,
I screen scrape and save RCI data for a few specific resorts. Some are on the BI. None are on Maui. Some resorts show availability more than 16 months out. Some resorts have had (and may still have) exchanges available for Fri, Sat & Sun April 5 - 7, 2013. There has been (and may still be) availability for check in the last weekend of March 2013.
What system are you in? How are you searching? What are your search parameters?
Jack

Jack - I'm guessing that you are actually addressing Imkucala, and not me. ;)

We've been looking for something on either Maui or Big Island the 1st week of April in 2013. So far no luck! Does the Feb/March crowd typically extend into the 1st week of April? or does it start slowing down by then?

Yes - it was lmkucala that was looking :)

I'm searching in RCI points. I've got 2 saved searches setup that I run regularly - one for anywhere on Maui and one for anywhere on Big Island, with check-in days between 3/29/13 and 3/31/13.

Occassionally there is a studio that pops up on Maui but that we really need a 1BR (I think it is called Kahana Falls) and also gets some pretty poor reviews. Paniolo Greens occassionally comes up for Big Island but it is 65,000 points and I only have about 50,000 right now (I'll get my next annual allotment in a couple of months.

Aloha,
My data is in the RCI Weeks system. By being in RCI Points, you are seeing a different inventory. I'm not sure the deposit lead time in points; perhaps it is limited to one year. It is clearly closer to 1-1/2 years for several resorts in the Weeks system.
Good luck in your search,
Jack
