As your questions really relate to earning/redeeming miles, I'd suggest this thread has nothing to with Europe, per se.
I'd suggest you ask a moderator to move it to MilesBuzz or a more appropriate forum, for advice.
Thanks for the suggestion UA, I actually originally posted this in miles buzz but I believe a moderator there moved this to here. I think as to not incur mod wrath I may just leave this here for a bit :P

Whoops! totally forgot to put the redemption side.
From what I can tell (I believe its locked in as I haven't found any transfer information on their site) Primarily the idea is that every 10000 miles = 50$. Which can be applied to any travel expense charged to the card (Booked through their expedia portal or not)
I think (If I did the math correctly) Each point/mile = .5% of a dollar
Its only redeemable in 10000 point batches. (Hence the 50$ unit)
You earn 3 points for every dollar spent so really its a 1.5% dollar value
Or 9 points (4.5%) when booking through the expedia portal (Which is just like expedia.com but... with some TD branding)
so you could book like you normally would with expedia.
I don't have an airline FF program (but would be open to getting one unless Asia miles counts) I'm not sure if that toally answers your question so feel free to drill even more if needed!
