Please let me know your experience on this. I obviously will continue my business flights with AC, but I may consider give PD a try for leisure flights.
The spend counts, but you only get credited as you fly. It's not immediate which kind of sucks. I was hoping for immediate boost on the program as I was 1 segment short from a level I wanted to be at under the status match.

FYI - the spend / points are credited literally within minutes of the door closing.
