QFF Double Bonus SC offer

Hi everyone,

I'm currently a Bronze member and I received an email from Qantas offering double status credits on flights booked between 2/10/2012 and 31/12/12. I'm currently on 260 status credits and I have a flight (CNS-SYD) booked in V class on 18/11/12. I understand that this will get me 40 status credits and a bonus of 40 status credits putting me at 340 SC and qualifying for Silver.

Later this year, probably on 25/11/12 I'll be flying out to America on a sale fare which would put me into discount economy. So far the planned itinerary is SYD-LAX-SYD all on QF metal. I understand this will give me 90 status credits and 90 bonus status credits.

Does it matter if I book via Qantas.com or through my travel agent? (I'm on better… I mean cheaper terms with my travel agent).
If I understand correctly that as long as I have a ticket with a QF number I'll get bonus status credits. If that's the case is it possible to fly:
SYD-HNL on QF metal (35 SC)
HNL-LAX on AA metal with a QF number (25 SC)
LAX-JFK on QF metal (25 SC)
JFK-LAX on AA metal with a QF number (25 SC)
LAX-SYD on QF metal (45 SC)

and get bonus status credits on all segments to give me a total of 310 SC? If that's the case, is it correct that I only need another 50 SC to qualify for Gold before the end of the year when my membership year ends? If so I'll be figuring out a way to get 50 SC exCNS (CNS-BNE-CNS on a sale fare?).
