Is this possible? If not, I don't have much need for this product...
Short answer: KVS can't do what you're looking for.

Longer answer: to clarify your understanding, for most (all?) award searches, KVS does not provide access to any data you couldn't already get yourself electronically--hence it asking you to provide login credentials for various frequent flier programs. The system just scrapes the particular website, in addition to providing a few handy features (ex. saving searches). The only way that I'm aware of to see DL upgrade space is to call in (I could be wrong, been a while since I cared about seeing DL's inventory).

For the record, I will point out that KVS does not claim to display DL upgrade availability, only award inventory.
