Yes,
provided the charge appears in the same format as a regular ticket, showing the flight numbers, dates, origin and destinations. If this information does not appear on the credit card statement you will need to submit a copy of your eticket and boarding passes. (Wait at least two billing cycles after the travel date to see if the points post automatically.)
Again, remember that Flight Points are not redeemable until they are converted to ThankYou Points, which occurs only when you earn a matching number of Purchase Points.
