What happened
Capital One launched a transfer partnership with Copa ConnectMiles at a 1:0.75 ratio, with a 30% conversion bonus through December 1, 2026. Moving 1,000 Capital One points deposits 750 ConnectMiles at the standard rate and 975 ConnectMiles with the 30% bonus.
The standard rate stays at 1:0.75 after the bonus ends. That conversion is worse than 1:1 even while the 30% extra is running. Copa previously used Continental OnePass and United MileagePlus before starting ConnectMiles. Opening a ConnectMiles account reportedly requires extensive personal information.
Transfer before December 1, 2026 only for a ConnectMiles award that can be booked today; speculative transfers sit on a 1:0.75 ratio once the bonus ends.
