Sorry if this was answered before, but I can't find it - if I get this card, do I get the free night cert in the first year (when I first get the card), OR do I have to wait an entire year and then get my first cert on my first anniversary date?

My regular AMEX anniversary date is 10/19, so I might wait to get my free night cert from that and I'll still have 12 days to get this card and another cert. Thanks!
