What happened
Rove members transferring to Copa ConnectMiles through Sept. 30, 2026 receive a 40% bonus, or 1,400 miles per 1,000 Rove miles. The new partnership's standard rate is 1:1.
ConnectMiles is Rove's 21st transfer partner. Copa is not a partner of the big U.S. bank currencies, and Marriott Bonvoy still transfers to Copa at 3:1. Rove is now the first major 1:1 transferable currency for U.S. residents. Transfers usually move in 100-mile increments once the 2,000-mile minimum is met. Award space must be confirmed in ConnectMiles, and some partner-operated awards require a phone call.
ConnectMiles generally does not pass carrier-imposed surcharges on partner awards. It is unlikely to be the default for most Star Alliance awards, since Rove already transfers to Aeroplan.
Transfer Rove miles before Sept. 30 only for a ConnectMiles award that can be booked today.
