RD= First class award ticket/medium miles
RK = First class award ticket/high miles
These are award tickets so they don't earn any miles.

I believe you're thinking of using pay with miles, which means purchasing a normal FC ticket, for instance, and then using some miles to reduce the price at a rate of approximately one cent per mile with some rounding. To do this you must have DL AmEx caredit card IIRC.
