If so, then how much will I earn?
If your ticket is bought directly through DL website, as soon as the ticket is not a basic economy or award ticket, you will earn miles based on how much you have paid (minus tax and unqualified surcharges), i.e. MQD, times the multiplier based on your membership level.
