PreferProgram
PreferMembers receive the most exclusive benefits on Copa Airlines and have recognition on Star Alliance global network and ConnectMiles’ partner companies.
How to qualify to the PreferProgram
As a PreferMember, you will enjoy the benefits of receiving more miles, preferential access, waivers, upgrades, and much more!
Flying on Copa Airlines, Copa Airlines Colombia, and any Star Alliance member airline, is how you earn the required number of qualification miles or segments you need to reach a PreferMember Status. Your PreferMember Status will be valid from the date you qualified through the end of the following year.
When PreferMembers qualify for a higher status, ConnectMiles will automatically upgrade your PreferMember Status and the new benefits will be effective immediately.

Changes to the PreferProgram qualification requirements for the 2021 qualification year due to the impact of COVID-19
