Flying with rapid rewards and earning points

[ambo1024]

Can you use your rapid rewards points for a flight and earn points for the same flight at the same time?

I'm afraid not. Points earned are based on dollars spent and category booked (wanna get away vs anytime vs business select). When you book a flight with points, you only "spend" points - aside from the TSA fee which does not earn points.
