They will also contact TD to get them to upudate your Aeroplan number as well.
Just to provide a different data point: created an Aeroplan account in April, opened the card in May (entered the account number during app), met the spend requirement and got the bonus in June after my statement closed. The bonus points arrived in my Aeroplan account without any problems. Everything was easy, and worked as it should.
