Travelex Currency Services Announces Partnership With Copa Airlines ConnectMiles

Travelex, the world's leading foreign exchange specialist, announces a partnership with Copa Airlines. From June 10, 2019 ConnectMiles Members can earn miles when exchanging currency in all Travelex stores at Tocumen International Airport, Panama.

"Over the past years, we have built up our services in Panama around retail. We can now offer ConnectMiles Members a new way to earn miles, simply by exchanging currency with Travelex. We are very excited to launch this partnership with Copa Airlines to further demonstrate our support and commitment to our business and the community in Panama," said Pamela Henning, VP Partnerships at Travelex.

The program will allow passengers at Tocumen Airport exchanging currency with Travelex, to earn miles in the Copa Airlines loyalty program "ConnectMiles".

"Through our partnership with Travelex, we are providing another way for members to earn ConnectMiles. We're always looking for innovative ways to enable our ConnectMiles Members to collect miles that they can use for a world of award travel possibilities on flights operated by Copa Airlines, Star Alliance member Airlines and other global airline partners. Travelex is a perfect partner as it enables our members to gain miles from activity that they're already doing when traveling abroad," said Timothy Manoles, VP Loyalty at Copa Airlines.

The companies will monitor the program in Panama with an eye on expanding the program in other airport locations.
