Yeah, that was my gripe as well with them, back when I used KVS for the first time for one year. At least it sounds like scraping, if you need to create FFP accounts.

I've understood they'd be good for finding awards, but not sure I want to create n+1 FFP accounts for that. As for AA redemptions, the availability has gone quite a lot for the discounted redemptions, which partners can book, so not sure KVS will be any better for hunting those.
