Sounds like what you are asking for is what Hilton used to call a Mutual Account, but is not available anymore. Member accounts are for the members benefit, not anyone they may know related or not. We are allowed to spend points on rooms for anyone we know. We can contact the property to make sure they know our status so on-site benefits are offered appropriately.
In my history, when checking in to a room booked by a member of a lower status, on-site benefits matching my status were always offered once informing the FDC of my status, totally within their prerogative and not program mandated.
