Capital One has added Copa Airlines ConnectMiles as a transfer partner, offering a 30% bonus through December 1, 2026. Starting November 2, Capital One miles transfer to Copa at a 2:1.5 ratio, or 750 ConnectMiles per 1,000 Capital One miles. With the bonus, that rate improves to 975 ConnectMiles per 1,000 miles transferred.
The partnership gives Capital One cardholders access to Copa's Star Alliance network, which includes redemptions on United Airlines and other partners. Copa specifically enables bookings on Emirates business class without fuel surcharges, according to the report.
Capital One's transfer ratio falls behind competing programs. Rove offers a 1:1 regular rate (with a 40% launch bonus now expired), while Citi also transfers to Copa. Marriott Bonvoy transfers at 3:1 with a 5,000-mile bonus on transfers of 60,000 points.
This marks Capital One's first new airline partner in over a year. The program previously added Japan Airlines Mileage Bank, Qatar Airways Privilege Club, and I Prefer Hotel Rewards on September 23, 2025.
