I myself ended up deciding against it after all, after weeks of pondering. For me, the logistics just appeared a bit too challenging. Not the Island hopper itself but getting back afterwards, and dealing with the whole US immigration procedure in between. It's always a hassle.
Gonna go to Bangkok after Shanghai instead. Also good

A little early in the year for a $700 mileage run for me I'm afraid, although it does look like a great deal. Hard to get sign-off from the other half with so much non-optional travel still outstanding!

Im trying to book this for Feb 12 in a rather impulsive buy, but everytime I go on the United website, when I enter my card number to reserve, it reloads and shows me the flights again, this time in pounds which is 700 more.
On the phone they will find the price in Yuan but they can only book it in Yuan with a China based card.
Any ideas?

I successfully booked the trip for Feb 16 on United website using my Chase United branded Visa card. Still not sure if I'll go. I'll decide within the 24 hours cancellation policy time frame.
