UA and Hawaiian Air (HA) will interline bags.
When checking-in with HA, no UA elite / credit card bag waivers will be recognized. Bag allowance will be based on ticket rules.
HA's policy on inter-island / Neighbor Island flights is no free bags in economy.

Thanks so much for clarifying WineCountry. Wasted my time registering everyone for Hawaiian air frequent flyer and attempting to adjust passenger frequent flyer account for this discount. -
Since passengers can just pay discounted fare online.
Hopefully this will help others out as well.

if both flights are on one ticket, HA will interline and you don’t have to deal w/ bags in SF. If they’re separate tickets HA (usually) won’t interline.

Inter line from Hawaiian to UAL
i have two different tickets an award ticket with UAL from HNL to EWR and a Hawaiian airlines ticket from LIH-HNL
is there any way to get them to book the bag all the way through?
im a 1k at united but not status on Hawaiian. Flying first on ual and coach on hawiian
im assuming it’s not possible but figured I’d ask

This is incorrect, I did it just last month on the same routing with 2 separate PNRs. You can pay the $15/1st bag fee online when checking in with HA. If you do it at the counter, it goes up to $25 as no UA elite baggage waivers apply to the HA leg.

The thread you linked is not the one I tried to link. And the thread you linked is a little vague on the OP's actual question. Your experience is fine, but if you are flying UA on the first leg, what do you need to do to convince UA to tag your bag to your final destination on HA? The thread you link seems to be about flying HA, then connecting to UA.
"You'll need to claim and re-check baggage if you are:
- Making a voluntary stopover
- Making a connection that involves an overnight stay
- Connecting to an itinerary booked on a separate ticket that doesn't include a Star Alliance partner airline
- Traveling internationally and connecting to a domestic flight within your destination country"

This deals specifically with HA inter island to UA mainland. All I did was present both boarding passes and it took less than a minute.
I believe it may have been an issue in the past, but it hasn't been that way for quite awhile now. Although others (given recent comments) will certainly disagree. YMMV.

Huh? It's not vague in the slightest. Going back 3 months, there's several examples (including my own) of this not being an issue.

probably best to say one should expect to not get the interlining (for planning purposes) and be pleasantly surprised if it works. Don’t need travelers making flight plans assuming bags will certainly be interlined.
