IF you're approved you can usually get the card number immediately and use it. However, there is usually a limit as to what you can use until you receive and activate your card. Depending upon your credit limit that may or may not be enough to book the deposit. Still, it's worth it for the other benefits so you might as well try.
If you will be applying for the card, you do not get the number but are able to book right away with just the confirmation from Visa. While booking be careful not to use your browser back button or lose the info in any way. Last year we applied for the card, was approved and went to book and lost our confirmation of being approved. Don't know how it happened but I think we used the browser back button for some reason. We called Visa who would not under any circumstances give us the card number. Which is understandable. It took 10 days to receive our card in the mail. We luckily did not have to rely on the card to book and used something else. In your case you do need the card to book before Thursday so I thought I would give you a heads up. ENJOY!
Free dining will be open to the public 4/12
