I will probably lock in 1,000 credits of travel by next week. Good news!

How should this sentence be interpreted ...
If you change or cancel your initial qualifying booking and/or travel is completed outside the promotional period, this bonus offer will not apply
... I know there are some flights I will need to take in October but the dates may shift a day or two closer to the time. Would the bonus offer still apply if dates changed are still in promotional period? The use of "and/or" seems odd.

In past promotions like this any changes = no double SC. Sounds like same rule applies this time too, QFF isn't that generous 
Though maybe they expect fares to lower so any changes would be to a lower fare

I was originally confused by this:
but if you put it the 2 ways it can be read, I think it means you can change, as long as the dates aren't outside the promo period of April 16 - April 17:
It doesn't make sense if you book a more flexible class of travel and then change it, that you wouldn't get the DSC.

I was excited and looking to book First across the Tasman then I noticed that the flight has to be QF operated, so the QF code EK operated flights are not included in the offer, only some specific AA operated flights are.
This will change my routing now, I will just go WLG-SYD in J.
Do not rely on the DSC calculator to verify the QFF points and SC as that should the double SC given.

Sale fares on QF metal at the moment ex AKL to SYD however net 160 SPs with the credit promo so that a great deal, just a shame Jet Connect business is so so so poor compared to EK.

Of course the 738 hard product will be less than the 380 hard product, but the JetConnect crew IME have been professional and have done everything expected to make the (short) flight as comfortable as possible given the cabin constraints.
