Received emails for my invoice and successful contribution, but nothing- no temporary or permanent key. Junk folders of course have nothing either.

That someone received his key only after filing a dispute seems to suggest that intentionally is involved in the missing keys and radio silence. That or they are prioritizing members who withdraw their payment. But really it doesn't take much effort to properly generate keys. So either way it looks suspect on their part.

Will be issuing a chargeback on my CC, suggest y'all do the same.
I have had very good experience with KVS for more than a decade. Recently they seem to have lost the ability to show the fare class availability in each of the letter letter classes. That was an important tool for me to be able to see which flights may open up based upon the availability of paid seats and trying to predict future award space opportunities… It was also good to be able to see how many people might be in a given cabin, given my general preference for fewer people, especially in first.

Without that I don’t see a reason to maintain KVS membership.

But in terms of thus being a legit business…they have always been honorable and responsive, IME. I am pretty sure the owner is an original/seasoned Flyertalk member.
