 3:30 Amex Qantas Transfer Bonus and Targeted Qantas Transfer Bonus: Do they stack?

Amex is running an untargeted 20% bonus
People on DansDeals say they’re getting 20% on top of 20% for no apparent reason
(Additionally?) My wife was targeted for a 15% transfer bonus on the Qantas side
Do these stack?
I transferred 1,000 Qantas miles from Amex
This earned 1,200 upon arrival
4 days later a 20% bonus of 240 points posted
If this sticks, it works out to a 1.44 transfer ratio
If the additional 15% posts it would be a 1.62 transfer ratio
Crazy one, but if all the bonuses posted it would be huge
Devaluation coming? (LoyaltyLobby link)
Yes, devaluation occurred (PointMeToThePlane link)
