I am thinking about the next trip, JFK-SFO-HKG-SIN-NRT-SFO-EWR. Would that be considered as a return as well? I am hoping to just use one GPU in this itinerary.

both trips are two GPU itins.
In the PMUA system, you could not transit an airport twice with the same upgrade instrument. Both of your itins (NRT in the first and SFO in the second) clearly violate that rule which i think is still active. (plus you have the 12 hour connection limit)
