British Airways normally sends the companion ticket voucher about 2 weeks after the required annual spend has been reached. The voucher has a validity of 12 months (all outbound sectors must be flown by then). To get maximum value from the voucher use it on a long-haul flight in Club or First - you will need to have a decent amount of miles saved - also, the flight must be ex-UK.
