They said that they were going to be looking at activity in the first half of the year to determine status. That seems a bit challenging, as they started sending the invites early.

I had a few paid CM flights this year, but not all were completed when I got my invite to PP. Glad to have that out of the way, and now to have 18 months to qualify again is nice.

As Kacee said, Copa's IT is awful. CS is, too, unless you escalate. They are really going to have to get their act together, or this has the potential to be a nightmare.

If ConnectMiles status was something I was hoping for, yet I had not yet received it, I would wait until the general enrollment begins to be concerned about it. My history the two years prior was pretty heavy on CM, so I'm not surprised that I got the early invite - If they are looking back farther than January 1, 2015, and that almost certainly has to be so in my case.
