My main objective is to dump off a little balance to a no interest card without a transfer fee and gain some mile while I'm at it. </font>

Here ya go: $5000 free money for 6 months. 12,500 total miles for $69. Hope you have a use for YX...
The fine print says that the balance transfer
should earn you both bonuses - 5000 and 7500. Sometimes banks interpret "first purchase" bonuses to be exactly that - a "purchase". If that ends up being the case, you have to go buy a Coke or something and pay a buck a month in finance charges. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really change the offer much - $75 for 12,500 miles and six months of free money is still a great deal -
if you have a use for YX.
To ExitRow's point: you can earn YX miles on AA flights and redeem YX miles for select AA awards. (You can redeem for most common awards, but you don't have access to the entire AA/OW award chart with YX miles.)
I like YX and have 7700 miles on them right now. I might sign up for this card as a simple, quick way to get to 20,000 (the companion award level).
