"United Mileage Plus Gold Visa credits miles for balance transfers and convenience checks but it's only 1 mile for every $2."
Are you completely sure about this? I never have gotten miles for balance transfers and my terms state that I will only earn miles for purchases.

Once in a while, GM Mastercard will send me checks that will earn rebates (towards a purchase of a GM vehicle, of course). When they do, its good for only a limited time. Not all checks that they send will earn rebates, though, so I have to check every time I get them. So far, I got them twice within the last six months.

Not miles, but the Waldenbooks Visa from First USA gives you 1% in gift certs, and they give you credit on convenience checks. They also charge a transaction fee, which is 3%, but maxes at $50 - so if you can do a very large charge, it makes sense.
