I also got miles for my FIRST balance transfer to U-A's First Card.

NJDavid: I probably too would be mad if I didn't learn from my aunt eons ago that one should already read the print at the bottom FIRST! I am leary of any credit card offers (although OH YIKES DINERS Club is tempting me and I still can't go!)

Kyklin has made a lot of good points about the advertising angle of these offers, to get more business. BUT there are many people who see a great offer and jump at it.

I am also very leary of any blank checks because as I read further the high interest rates attached.

The ad could say "While you can't earn OnePass miles think of the money you'll save that can go to that Continental airline ticket to paradise." Or something like that.

They should give a small amount of mileage, like 1K miles for the transfer and for our trouble.
