My main issue is separate itineraries/tickets. Would this be ok, or too confusing for those involved (check-in staff and immigration folks)?

US passport
SYD-BKK-PVG (TG award; arrive in PVG at 0625 on 10/21)
PVG-HKG (KA award; depart PVG at 1850 on 10/22)
HKG-SFO on 10/23

Is this 36 hour PVG trip doable? Thanks a lot all.

You only need to show them the first and second itinerary (SYD-BKK-PVG and PVG-HKG). Should be no problem at all. I suggest taking a printout of the page from the Chinese Embassy where it explains this is possible (Visa Free Travel).
