If the 5 bonus miles spend was supposed to include the regular earning, some of which could be 1.5 miles, then those wouldn't be bonus miles. Something like that. I'm very tired.

To answer your second question:
Yes, the best redemption rate is, alas, through Expedia for TD. You'll get $1 in value for each 200 points... so 80,000 points = $400.
I believe the redemption rate for other travel spend is $1 for each 250 points... so 80,000 points = $320.
You could use some combo of that, for example, book an Expedia product approaching $400 in value, then burn off the rest of the points for some other travel spend.
Other than a note that "points must be redeemed in increments of 200 or 250", I don't see where TD actually states the redemption rate for other travel spend.

Question about cards / insurance policies.
TADVI; Say I make a booking (either cash or award) for a trip say April 10th - May 5th and use the TDAVI to pay for it or pay for the taxes / fees on an AE award.
If I then cancel the card prior to my trip (to avoid the annual fee), am I still covered by the insurance policies of the card? ie) trip delay / interruption, etc.
Thanks!

So obviously your coverage will be void. Youre not insuring the purchase of the trip - youre insuring _the_ trip - and you wont have a card when the trip is imminent.

I learned the hard way over the holidays that trip interruption insurance is useless.
I was in Paris with a train ride to Frankfurt but the labor strikes canceled my trip and was forced to find emergency trips ASAP. Alternate trips to Frankfurt were full, but thankfully I was able to do a two-leg journey via Brussels which costs more than the initial trip and the CC won't cover it.
Basically, someone needed to be injured or dead for it to be a trip interruption.

You are not the only one who's French labour action trip interruption expenses were denied.
Since this is the Canada subforum, care to guess which province have the highest number of labour actions incidents?

In the old days Air Canada is very clear in the CoC that they are not responsible to trip delay interruptions due to labour actions. I was victim twice, both times some minor locale went on strike.

Most insurance excludes labour actions, conflicts and acts of God.
