This is really disappointing to me, of course, because by then I will have had to already re-lease some new car. So I guess I am losing this benefit entirely (at least until another 3 years, when I do my second next lease).
Good catch. You get it 6-8 weeks after the end of the Reward Year, which is defined as 12 billing periods in a row beginning with the one in which the anniversary of your Card Account occurs.

I will call in to try and expedite this as I'm not waiting 3.5 years to benefit from this. Failing expediting I may look at extending existing lease or swap into a short ending one on leasetrader
