Obviously, you have not learnt from this forum... 😭😭😭

I will also add another DP, I'm still awaiting a membership code since March. Email sent shortly after purchase went ignored. Almost on the verge of a chargeback.

At this point, I think this thread needs a wiki with a warning ab🛞ut the questionable business practices of KVS so more unsuspecting people are not taken advantage of.

KVS used to be a great tool with excellent support.

Today the activity of the owner seems to be limited to
regularly tapping into the income from the sale of "memberships".

The sale is advertised with comprehensive services,
some of which have not worked at all for many months.
The only thing that always works is the page to pay.

I purchased the KVS Tool Diamond with my ISP's e-mail address (not gmail or outlook), but neither temporary registration code nor permanent code arrives to me two days after the registration. I would request KVS to issue the code and directly send it to me.

Welcome to FlyerTalk tappy0902!

According to his profile, KVS has not logged on to FlyerTalk since Apr 26, 23. That's two months ago today.

Please note that FlyerTalk is not a KVS customer assistance venue. You should submit customer service requests directly to KVS through their website.

Welcome to FlyerTalk from me as well, tappy0902. I hope your FT experience is long and positive and that you generally have better luck than you have done with KVS.

As TWA884 has said, there is no guarantee that KVS will read this or respond. You need to take this up with KVS directly. Depending on the payment method you used, you might also be able to seek assistance or a refund from the payment processor or your card issuer.

Given KVS' business model is built upon disregarding various website's terms and conditions/use agreements.....it shouldn't be a surprise they disregard their own obligations to their subscribers.

HadesNL Jun 27, 2023 2:26 pm

Could be the mark of the end .....

Better to look for alternatives folks!

Welcome back to the KVS Tool and please confirm the receipt of your Permanent code, which was issued back in May. Please note that your Temporary Code will never expire until you receive your Permanent Credentials (regardless of the expiry date shown)

Welcome back to the KVS Tool and please confirm the receipt of your Permanent code. We are sorry to hear that your ISP had failed to deliver your Temporary codes, which were successfully issued on 24 Jun.

Hi KVS,

Thanks for your reply!

Is there any way to get complimentary full access to your tool for a week or two before deciding on a contribution?

I'd be more than happy to make a contribution for a working tool where bugs are Fixed regularly.

From my reading, cowtool provides complimentary access for FT users who meet certain criteria and those users can optionally make a contribution, which I intend on doing.

TWA884 Jul 29, 2023 8:12 am

Reminder.

From the wikipost:


Please submit technical support and customer service requests directly to KVS through their website.

FlyerTalk is not KVS' customer assistance venue. The primary purpose of the Travel Tools forum is to benefit the entire FlyerTalk community.

Anything related to the KVS Availability Tool may be discussed here, including member to member requests for troubleshooting.

KVS is a scam. Have a look here at the endless complaints and info on how it steals data in an unauthorized manner. Save y:eek:ur money.

With all due respect, calling KVSTool a scam because it enables the user to scrape websites is unreasonable.
There are plenty of other tools in out there, some of them even mentioned here in flyertalk, that allow users to scrape or use websites outside their standard terms of use.
They are not scams.
