I don't have a problem with it taking a while to fulfill the orders.

But they've known when the year ends since they've started the program.

There's no reason to not be ready to announce what the prizes are now regardless of when they can fulfill them.

Afterall, we have to make our "orders" before they can even begin the process of shipping.

I imagine they wanted to see how many people would get platinum before choosing the prizes. If only a (relative) handful of people got platinum, a special Wiimote might be in order. If everyone and their mum made it up to 600 points, it's time to break out the replica mario hats.

exactly what I was implying. Nintendo is a smart company, and there is a good chance they have a set budget for club nintendo. The less people that reach gold/platinum, the more money they would have to spend on a prize. Who knows, I could be wrong and maybe they had the prizes picked out months ago, but we don't know.
