Once upon a time,Copa used the same OnePass frequent flyer program as Continental. But then Continental merged with United, and in so doing, and dropped OnePass in favor of MileagePlus. Like it or not,Copa then ended up with MileagePlus. From a United frequent flyer's perspective, this was actually kind of kind since we'd get most all of the same benefits flying Copa as we would on United.
Then approximately a year ago, or Copa seemingly decided that every self-respecting airline ought to hold it's own frequent flyer program so they announced that they would be leaving MileagePlus and forming their own program called ConnectMiles.
That was all well and good in theory,but the problem was that that all of their loyal flyers were still members of MileagePlus. So in order to get them into their own program, they offered generous status matches to pretty much any United Premier, or sometimes to anyone with status in another program.
I was able to match my United 1K status to Copa Platinum. Ben and Tiffany matched from American. A lot of our readers did as well.
