NEW YORK, NEW YORK — September 1, 2026 — Rove, the rewards platform that helps travelers earn miles through travel bookings and everyday purchases, today announced Copa Airlines ConnectMiles as its newest transfer partner. Rove members can now convert Rove Miles into ConnectMiles at a 1:1 ratio, unlocking additional award travel options throughout North America, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and the broader Star Alliance network.
To mark the launch, Rove is offering a limited-time 40% bonus on transfers to ConnectMiles completed by September 30, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. EST. During the promotional period, members will receive 1,400 ConnectMiles for every 1,000 Rove Miles transferred.
“Copa Airlines offers an incredibly strong network for travelers looking to explore Latin America and the Caribbean, while ConnectMiles provides even greater reach through Star Alliance,” said Carissa Rawson, Director of Travel and Marketing at Rove. “Adding ConnectMiles gives our members a valuable new way to turn the miles they earn through Rove into meaningful trips across the Americas and around the world.”
A New Gateway to the Americas
Copa Airlines connects travelers to more than 80 destinations across North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean through its Hub of the Americas® in Panama City. Its strategically located hub makes it possible for travelers to connect between destinations across the region, often with a single stop.
For travelers based in the United States, Copa provides direct access to major destinations throughout Latin America, including cities in Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
ConnectMiles can also be redeemed for eligible travel on Star Alliance member airlines, giving members access to an extensive global network that includes United Airlines, Air Canada, Avianca, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, Singapore Airlines, ANA, and others. Members may also use ConnectMiles for eligible flights operated by Wingo and other participating airline partners.
The addition of ConnectMiles gives Rove members greater flexibility when planning regional trips throughout the Americas as well as longer international journeys using Copa and its airline partners.

More Ways to Explore Latin America and Beyond

Beyond Copa’s own network, access to Star Alliance award travel allows members to redeem ConnectMiles for eligible domestic and international flights across a wide range of carriers and destinations. This combination of regional strength and global connectivity makes ConnectMiles a versatile addition to the Rove transfer-partner lineup.
