Earnings rate for Canadian SPG amex is 1 cad (0.77 USD):1 SPG

The gap isn't as big as it used to be when the cad was at par
1USD:2SPG for hotel-spend though, which can make quite the difference.

Question: does anyone know if you can pay car insurance/ICBC with a credit card? My car dealer won't let me pay my lease with one which is a bummer, what about car insurance? ICBC's phone lines are about as bad as aeroplan's -.-
