I guess it's not THAT surprising that the loyalty materials would come from the US. There may not be an enterprise in Panama capable of handling the direct mail aspects of a loyalty program like this. I wouldn't be surprised if the cards sent to Panama addresses are mailed from Panama, though.
Got notification of my status match July 21. The return address on the envelope they sent was from a PO Box in Wheeling, IL. Plus, there's a sticker on the envelope that says "Int'l Priority Airmail U.S. Postage Paid, Twin Cities, MN".
It occurred to me that perhaps they're still using the same people who send out MileagePlus cards.
