Question
Latest offers from the YX Mastercard from Juniper:
Option 1: Pay $69 for annual fee card -- receive 20,000 miles and $99 companion ticket when booking 1st ticket in "N" class.
Option 2: Get no-fee card -- receive 5,000 miles instead and $99 companion ticket.
For both, balance transfer at a 0% rate for 6 months and get 1 mile for each $ transferred up to another 10,000 miles. BT fee applies (3%), but it is capped at $50.
so . . .
$119 ($69 annual fee + $50 BT fee) = 30,000 miles (20,000 + 10,000)
OR
$50 (BT Fee only) = 15,000 miles (5,000 + 10,000)
Remember, you can use YX miles for awards on AA. You can also turn YX miles into HH points at the rate of 1 YX mile = 2 HH points. (I haven't looked at it lately, but you used to be able to turn YX miles into CO miles thru Amtrak.)
Addendum:
For those rolling 0% offers from card to card, if you invest $10,000 at 3.5% for 6 months (not too hard to find in an on-line MM account today), you will earn $175. Even after income taxes, this interest income would wind up offsetting your out-of-pocket costs of $119. In this case, the 30,000 miles wind up costing you nothing.

Do you have a link for this offer? The one on Midwest shows 12,500 bonus miles not 20,000 miles.

It came by snail mail. I'll have to look to see if there is a reference to a link in the materials they sent me.
I noticed that someone else got a similar offer and posted it in the Midwest Airlines discussion area. He references a code you might be able to use if you call in the application.
