Seems like both Avani and Anantara listed suites and villa’s are excluded from upgrades. In the past I cannot recall this was stated in the T&C and I got upgrade to villa numerous times when booking a “normal” room. I guess with the update of the program this will remain and you need to use $$ or D$ to get upgraded to suites and villa’s…
