One of the best credit cards for balance transfers and travel is the China Airlines Credit Card, with:

N/A bonus miles after the first purchase made within the first three billing cycles
1 mile for every $1 spent on China Airlines purchases
1 mile for every $2 spent everywhere else
An intro transfer APR of 0% for 6 months
$0 foreign transaction fee
5% (min $10) balance transfer fee
$0 annual fee

Keep in mind though, balance transfers and rewards don't mix well. It's better to keep these types of spendings separately: get a card with a longer period of 0% intro APR for your balance transfers (check out a few here), and another one with which you can maximize your rewards and also benefit from travel related perks (like these).
