For cobrand credit card, an authorized user (AU) can earn HHonor points on behalf of the primary cardholder when the AU uses the card. For cobrand card, the nexus with HHonor is the reward program and nothing else.
Does Diamond status carry over to an AU’’s HHonors account though? I’d guess not, but not sure.
