Do you also have any other credit card rewards that are transferable to Flying Blue such as American Express Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou Rewards or SPG Starpoints?

It's a small part of your calculation, but purchasing miles isn't likely to earn a travel category credit card bonus, unless the airline handles its own sales and uses its primary merchant account.
