Flying the Concorde procedure using the IF/*wood promotion

I will open the following post with the usual caveat, I don’t know if this is the correct board, so please bear with me.

To my surprise, I was talking to my wife about the current Starwood promotion, and that for around $1,260 one could get a round trip on the Concorde, and she said, “What are you waiting for, let’s do it”

Yippee!

I know some of the details, but correct me if I am wrong

Buy 21 magazines subscriptions to Inside Flyer per round trip ticket
Wait for *wood points to post
Transfer 40,000 points per day, so I can get the 25% bonus, or is it 80,000 per day?
Open a Qantas FF account
Transfer the points for the 1:2 ratio
Send all the magazines to the local library, claim them as a tax deduction, and claim every single person who reads them as a dependent (just kidding )


What is next? How does one go to reserve the flight?
Call Qantas customer service?
What is usually the window in which one can use the reward?

I am relatively new to the redemption portion of miles, usually I just gather them.

Thanks.
