mtwp3086 & steaddwell: Welcome to the KVS Tool!
We have now manually re-sent your Membership Credentials.

We are still looking into an issue with the DL Engine and will release an update as soon as possible.

Sure, but this was not mentioned anywhere, and I don't like statements "as soon as possible". If I take AF engine as an example, this could take 2 years....as that one is down since June 2021 if I understand correctly. This should have been removed from the offering then, as it still shows as supported, even though I would agree that the Skyteam/DL could support some of the queries around upgrade/rewards.

As a heavy Skyteam user with a strong focus on Awards/Upgrade, this tool is now not useful.
I've initiated a PayPal dispute, as this tool is not providing the features that were mentioned and I recommend anyone to first check here what does work for other users before buying a membership.

Have the issues on SkyTeam been fixed?

Been weeks, no temporary code, no real code for my machine. incredible.
KVS can you please help

That looks like a question for KVS support. Good luck with that.

Can't use BA search now looks like.

According to his profile, KVS has not logged onto FlyerTalk since Mar 13, 23.

Your Permanent Credentials were issued back on 05 Apr 2023.
KVS Tool users are [once again] reminded to pay attention to the alert message on the sign-up/renewal page and avoid the use of GMail e-mail addresses.

We are still working on a solution for the *S Award search Methods.

This is a recent issue and an update will be released soon.

In the meantime, please use the [Awards/QF-OneWorld] and [Awards/JL-OneWorld] Methods for uninterrupted access.

Although I initially asked a question in the Awards.flights FT thread, it seems more appropriate here now that I've found the KVS thread (actually found another FT KVS thread that was locked).

Thanks for creating this tool KVS !

Just checked out KVS website - Seems like KVS is a program that needs to be installed and from what I can tell, a "contribution" is required for KVS? Is it really just asking for payment to use the KVS tool? Is there a free option to test out KVS.

Y:eek:u get to pay for a "tool" that does unauthorized scrapes of data from web sites. Bits of it stop functioning without notice when the owners of those web sites find out what's going on. There are no refunds. Caveat emptor!

That's tough, paying for a tool that might break down. From what I saw on the website, it wasn't very cheap either.

I have to do more research on other tools out there. I found the awards.flights Chrome extension which is now no longer working, the KVS tool which from what I'm reading and seeing works intermittently with some bugs, and then I also read about the cowtool briefly which works well but has limited access to a certain group of people that meet a set of criteria.

Are there any other tools which can do seamless searches that are reliable and readily accessible for a small fee, or preferably, no fee?

ExpertFlyer is reliable. You do, however, get what you pay for with it. There is a free version for seat alerts, but I d:on't think that's what you're looking for.

Thanks for the ExpertFlyer suggestion and hyperlink! Will research that a bit more before signing up/paying.

I completed the payment on May 9 and the temporary code has just expired today. As of today, I still have not received the permanent code. I did not use gmail. I request KVS to send me the code as soon as possible so I can use the tool.
