1/ Is it correct that purchasing an annual season ticket for zones 1-4
entitles me to a free Gold Card?

Technically the season ticket *is* a Gold Card (but in the case of a
season ticket on Oyster you are issued with a separate, paper, Gold
Record Card)

2/ If I top up over the internet, how will I get my Gold Card? I read
it´s issued on a separate paper ticket only, so how will we internet
users get hold of it? Will I have to go to a station and ask for it?
Will it be posted to my registered address?

AIUI the Gold Record Card will be posted to you. But the lack of
information on the web is rather disappointing.
