Question now is, if I buy a ticket (either on points or cash) TPE-PVG, stay less than 48 hours in Shanghai and then fly PVG-HKG,
will this qualify despite being two separate tickets?
Thanks

They could care less about separate tickets. In fact, many people buy dummy tickets (that they never use) in order to trick the system.
