Essentially, rebooking is something that does not require the cancellation of old ticket and reissuing of new ticket.

Say you book XXX - HKG - YYY where HKG is transit of less than 24 hours. Some examples:
- To change date and time of XXX - HKG - YYY is rebooking if HKG transit is still less than 24 hours.
- But if HKG transit is now changed to over 24 hours then it effectively becomes XXX - HKG and HKG - YYY hence it's reissuance. Likewise vice versa, from transit of more than 24 hours to one of less than 24 hours.
- If you change to XXX - YYY direct bypassing HKG, then it's reissuance.
- If you reroute to XXX - AAA - YYY by going via AAA and not HKG, again it's reissuance.

If return ticket XXX - YYY - XXX, changing date or time of either XXX - YYY or YYY - XXX is rebooking.

I can't dig out any example now, but based on my understanding and experience, I think OP is right. He can stopover at HKG twice and transit at the turnaround point under an AM award.

I Just got tickets for LAX - HKG - PEK - HKG - LAX. As a múlti City flight, because is more easy that way and i only end up paying 7 usd more for each ticket.

I am staying in HKG most of the time, just 2 days in PEK (i think is like 14-28 april HKG, 28-30 PEK, 30 april -5 May HKG)
