Expedia doesn't do that.
It was a Reserve card, and it looks based on the conf code from UR its under the Expedia system, I might have just missed the cut off. I expected that UR would have little value for AS trips after the change, this just confirms it. (And that's before considering the opportunity cost on UR redemption math....)
