Capital One adds Copa Airlines as a transfer partner with a 30% launch bonus
By Alex Compton · Updated
Capital One miles can now be moved to Copa Airlines ConnectMiles, and transfers get a 30% bonus through December 1, 2026. This matters to Venture, Venture X and Spark cardholders who want another Star Alliance option for award flights.

What Changed
Copa Airlines ConnectMiles went live as a Capital One transfer partner on November 2, 2026, making it the program's 23rd airline and hotel partner. The standard ratio is 2:1.5, so 1,000 Capital One miles become 750 ConnectMiles. A 30% launch bonus raises that to 975 ConnectMiles per 1,000 miles through 11:59 PM ET on December 1. Because Copa is in Star Alliance, ConnectMiles can be used on partners such as United, Lufthansa, ANA and SWISS.
Our Take
Even with the bonus, you get slightly less than 1:1, and Citi ThankYou points already move to Copa at 1:1, so Citi holders should use that route instead. Transfer only when you have a specific award priced and available, since miles cannot be moved back.
