Call them.
When did you get 1K on UA? If it was after the end June 2015 then they would have had an older file from UA with your "Current" status on it.
They will probably direct you to email them with screenshots of your UA status

Thanks for the advice but I have had 1K status since 2008 every year.
I am not certain how much access Copa has towards United Mileage plus systems. What I do not have a lot of reservations within Latin America. I do have plenty out of Latin America to North America.
I will call them again tomorrow and see if they can up my status.
I was just hoping someone else may have had similar experience and can shed some light.
Thanks

My unproven theory is they stopped matching to PrePlat after the first couple of weeks.
Based on multiple reports of 1K and EXPs getting Platinum when early on we were getting PrePlat.
If that's the case, they may start limiting PrePlat to only challenges or something similar.

My theory is that Presidential Plat match requires a history of actually flying on Copa. I suspect the early posters here had that history.

I sent in my Alaska MVPG75K card and a copy of my online statement. I was matched to CM Gold. Late last week I emailed back explaining that MVPG75K is closer to Platinum and would they reconsider.
I received an email today showing my new status as Platinum.
Just FYI, if you can't see your CM itineraries under your connect miles dashboard, you can view them at m.copaair.com to see if the mileage number is entered correctly.

FWIW I just got email confirmation of my match today. Sent it in ~10 days ago. 1K matched to PresPlat, 9 total upgrade certs showing in my account.

I don't know if anyone else got matched with Etihad other than me but my match to Copa is only to end of 2015. My plan is to match Etihad or Copa to Turkish next which is good for 2ys from matching date. You can also match Etihad to Alitalia for SkyTeam which should be good for how ever long your Etihad status if for.

Seconded.
Copa looks like they will up their game to become a major player in Latin America
and the Caribbean.
It would be nice if they had their own forum.
