Given how big of an expense car insurance is, I'd suggest your best bet would be to try out some of those comparison engines and see who's got the best rates and terms, then see if you can also get miles from that company. Otherwise you could be getting some very expensive "free" miles.

Closest I've found is insurance co.s that accept credit cards--in my cases, Visa & MC only. So I use my HHonors Visa.

I'm definitely comparing quotes. I just applied on one of those comparison sites and should have an answer back within two days. I will take the best offer, but figured if there's a way to take the best offer AND get miles, I might as well do that.

If you have car or other insurance through AmEx, you can pay for it with your Amex card, getting MR, *wood, DL points, etc. There may have been an initial bonus promotion, but I don't recall precisely. Of the 2 or 3 I checked, AmEx had the best rates.

Progressive (Texas) = VISA/MC (no AMEX)

IA State Farm
In Iowa, State Farm Insurance takes MC/Visa (at least the ones I have dealt with in Newton, Dubuque, and Iowa City).
