Can you get SWA Rapid Rewards on transferred balances?

we have quite a bit outstanding on our disney visa rewards card, and plan to pay it off next week (knew we were running up cc debt/had a plan/etc)... my thought this morning was that i could first do a balance transfer from my disney visa to my hubby's swa visa to earn rapid rewards and pay the swa visa instead... is this do-able? can you get rapid rewards for transferred balances?

As a general rule, you cannot earn rewards on balance transfers. But more importantly, you cannot transfer a balance from one Chase credit card to another in order to take advantage of a balance transfer offer. Both the Disney Visa and the SWA Visa are issued by Chase.

really? (you cannot do a balance transfer from one chase card to another) I (obviously) did not know that!
The ironic thing is that i'm not trying to take advantage of a bal xfer interest rate, as i am planning to pay in full asap... i was just hoping to find a loophole that gave me some extra RRs! oh, well... it was worth asking! LOL!
THanks!
