Cardholders that qualify for the Visa Signature card will receive a $99 USD Companion Ticket discount code each year. Upon approval and on each anniversary, the cardholder will receive a discount code entitling the cardholder to purchase one round-trip Companion Ticket for $99 (USD) on Alaska Airlines when traveling with another passenger on a paid published airfare on the same itinerary, booked at the same time.

If I apply today and got approve, will get get a $99 companion certificate this March/April 2011 or will I have to wait until March/April 2012 for my first $99 certificate? I said March/April to allow for processing time.
