Miles/Points for Balance Transfers?

A few years ago, I got a promotion from the AA credit card where I was awarded miles for balance transfers. Does anyone know of airline or hotel cards offering points/miles for balance transfers?

I think the UA Gold Visa offers 1 mile to every $2 transferred

Citibank still offers 1 mile per $ transfered on a new Aadvantage mastercard account (10,000 max.). The miles posted when the statement was generated. You don't even need to "tranfer" a balance - just deposit the check in your bank account and then use the funds to pay off your new balance.

Does this xfer have to be requested in the initial application for the credit card, or can you do it later ?

Seems all the Juniper Bank ones (Frontier Airlines, Best Western Hotels, Midwest Airlines) do. The balance transfers are typically 0% for 6 months with a transaction fee capped at $50, with up to 4k to 5k of the balance transfer earning bonus points. They only let you apply for one of those in a 3-month period, btw.
