Your Chance to Win a Trip for Two to Any Destination Served by Copa Airlines

The Extra Mile 2016

Register to participate in The Extra Mile promotion by Tuesday, November 15, 2016 at 11:59 in the evening Central Standard Time and you will have your chance to win a trip for two to any destination served by Copa Airlines and Copa Airlines Colombia — but you must be a member of the ConnectMiles frequent flier loyalty program who is of legal age according to the laws of your country of origin in order to participate.

  • Sharing the promotion via Facebook or Twitter You will receive one additional chance to enter to win for sharing this promotion via Facebook or Twitter for the duration of the promotion. You can only get one additional chance to enter to win per day for each social network through which to share this promotion.
  • Completing your profile information You will receive five additional chances to enter to win for completing — during the term of the promotion — the personal information associated with your ConnectMiles frequent flier loyalty program account.
  • Traveling for the first time with a paid ticket using your ConnectMiles number You will receive ten additional chances to enter to win when traveling for the first time on a paid ticket — using your ConnectMiles number during the term of the promotion — on a flight operated by Copa Airlines or Copa Airlines Colombia.

  • Inviting other people to participate and register for the promotion You will receive one additional chance to enter to win for each person whom you invite via e-mail message to register — and who actually registers — for the promotion. The e-mail address which you provide when registering for the promotion must be the same as the e-mail address associated with your ConnectMiles account. You may invite up to five friends per day.
  • Getting a ConnectMiles credit card account You will receive ten additional chances to enter to win when getting a ConnectMiles credit card account with partner banks:
    • BAC Credomatic in Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua
    • Helm Bank in Colombia
    • Banco General in Panama
  • Staying at Marriott and Rocketmiles hotel and resort properties You will receive five additional chances to enter to win for each stay at a Marriott and Rocketmiles hotel or resort property, valid in all countries where Marriott and Rocketmiles operate.
  • Renting a car from Avis and Budget, National, or Alamo You will receive five additional chances to enter to win for each car rental from Avis and Budget, National, or Alamo in any country where this promotion is valid and these companies operate. You must present your ConnectMiles card or supply your ConnectMiles membership number at the time of reservation or rental. The vehicle must be rented to the owner of the ConnectMiles account to accumulate additional opportunities to participate to win; and only additional opportunities to enter to win one person per vehicle rented will be granted — regardless of traveling with other passengers who also have active ConnectMiles accounts in the rental vehicle.
