You should be able to apply it online and clear the IAD-HNL immediately or you can call and have an agent do it if there are any issues. I had a similar issues on a flight LHR-ORD-CVG where R=9 on the LHR-ORD and R=0 on the 45 minute connection on UX. Since I was using my GPUs on a reservation I wasn't on I had to call in, but no issues with clearing it at booking/
