That's still a good fare. Maybe we can fly but claim retrospectively?
Let me know will you?
45k miles for Gold is not an amazing bargain but it's not bad. The requirement for only 4 segs on CM, if it turns out to be 4 economy segs is pretty good though. My interest turns on what the options are going to be for long haul out of BOG.
Just to clarify, I'm only speculating that the '1 mile = 1 mile' guideline might extend to Star partners. But based on the prominent mention of that principle, at least on CM flights, it gives me the impression that Copa management must have heard loud and clear from their customers that the MP earnings downgrade was a sore point with them -- or at least that they see offering 100% earnings as a competitive advantage for them, as they do battle with AV, LA, and AM.
I'm most curious to see how miles will be awarded on CM's regional Star partners -- UA, AC, and AV.
Anyway, have just fired off an email re: status match, so will let you know what I hear!
