ahh that could very well be true -- the flight i was looking at was always showing Z0 but that was true because i could never apply my upgrade certificate. (finally it opened up like 10 days out; didn't check EF beforehand)

But, I'm 18/18 so far on upgrades under the ConnectMiles program, so it doesn't seem to be an issue. Sometimes, I've gotten upgrade notice 72 hrs in advance (I've got Platinum status), but other times it's barely over 24 hrs. I haven't figured out yet how Copa manages this inventory.

Thanks for the insight. I am a Platinum as well with CM (recently minted) thus my question. Under the oid system with MP, I had rather good sucess with Upgrades on CM.. I was just curious if anyone had better insight about the CM website. 18/18 are nice stats :) Thanks and Safe Travels

Changing FF number loophole might be closed. Unable to change it in profile upon boarding the flight. Maybe it was left too late being less than 1 hour before departure on the return leg

Copa Upgrade List
 
If i recall correctly, isn't there a way to see how your postioned on CM's upgrade list. IIRC its after you check in if you have not cleared before. Just curious as I haven't had to use it in awhile :)

Thanks and Safe Travels

No spaces, add in MM DD and your flight number (remove the [] also)

Here's an update to the physical cards delivery:


Greetings from ConnectMiles.

We are presenting inconveniences for delivering some physical cards and we are working to solve the situation as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, please use your electronic card, available in Passwallet and Passbook which can be downloaded through your account in connectmiles.com, selecting ConnectMiles Card from the left menu.

Thank you for your preference and patience during this process. We are happy to serve you.
Just a side note: Somehow the "Mail Packages" option in my account preferences tab wasn't checked, you may want to confirm if yours is checked.

Has anyone had success "expediting" a physical card by calling Copa? And does anyone know if the United Club will accept a downloaded card for entry?

The desk agent at PHX UC was willing to take the electronic version on my iPhone, but "the computer" would not permit access. Agent said that it did not recognize ConnectMiles as a valid *A program.

Sheesh. Glad I don't need the UA access this month. I'm sure they'll get it set up soon enough.

EDIT: So today, out of the blue, my wife and my Copa elite cards showed up in the mail (2/17 expiration). So I guess "just waiting" was the right strategy. :)

If you have an actual physical card, I assume the United Club agents can recognize your Copa status and let you into the lounge?

The United club at ORD does not have any problems letting me in with the electronic version in my phone.

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.

It looks like, after a bit of parliamentarianism, Copa has their own forum now!
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/copa-connectmiles-751/

I had been following this thread, but didn't notice it moved to it's own forum. So I wanted to post here to alert others who may also be following, but did not notice the new forum.
