No, you don't have to redeem when you pay for it. I've never been forced to redeem my points. They also never expire.johnsmithy wrote: ↑ Do you HAVE TO redeem points when you pay on Expedia for TD? Or can you apply for a credit on the booking afterwords using points? Similar to the "Book Any Way" method. I want to earn my points for my Expedia for TD booking, then apply those back to booking after the points appear in my account.
Let me see if I am understanding your question. So you want to purchase your trip without points. Then apply the points you've earned off that purchase? If so, the points don't work this way from what I understand. You do get the points but I believe the points are given once your credit card statement is sent out. You'll still earn points on your trip purchase. You can redeem your points right off the website as it will tell you how much you have. I believe you can also set how much of it you want to redeem.
Hope this helps.
