What's going on? Have a read bit into history of this thread (or its locked predecesor) and find out how shonky this business is...

I have had the software for well over a decade and love it!! I have had NO issues until now. I am concerned about the owner as he/she has been very responsive in the past. I have no issues until now.

I get your point.

Get your point too... 😁
It's probably more like that Kevin (that's apparently his name) ran out of sites to scrape and is desperately searching for new ones and that's why he is quiet here...
Look, been customer long time ago too - then all hell broke when I questioned the business practices...

REDACTED FOR PRIVACY is standard. Everyone who register with a halfway decent domain register will get that. Registered in Tuvalu doesn't mean anything.

So the tool is offline?

Appears to be "online", although I am getting a JS error.

The Tool is simply an interface to scrape data from airlines' award sites...

Edited to Add: Oh yes, I last heard from KVS on/about 18 October and sent back a reply with the JS error - still waiting to hear back...

I should have checked this thread before paying for the KVS premium service. I have neither the temporary registration key or a permanent one and no one is responding to the emails.
I may have to ask PayPal for a refund as I need the service now to book flights for the upcoming trip.
I also signed up for the Expert Flyer and everything works instantly once the payment is complete.

We have re-sent your Registration Credentials using a different e-mail server, just in case.

As always, if you do not receive your Temporary Registration Credentials (which are issued automatically via e-mail) within an hour, please let us know via the Contact Form on the KVS Tool Website and we will re-send them right away, as we do not always monitor this thread.

peterrudy Nov 5, 2021 4:18 pm

I got the registration code in the email. I will use the KVS tool for award flight search and post my thoughts tomorrow.

Thank you
