Looking to book a full weekend using both certs...
The free weekend night definitely does not drop right away. I applied for the Aspire around March 20 and my weekend night just hit my account on June 4.
For the airline credit, the AA charge for MCE should trigger it if done after your initial ticket is purchased, as mentioned above. Keep in mind too that you can generally buy AA gift cards and it will trigger the credit as well. There is lots of info about this over in the Amex forum, recommend a read.

IIRC in order to get the $100 credit you need to book under a specific paid rate code, so obviously a points stay will not count.
