Are you running the latest version of the KVS Tool?

This is what I'm getting...

Edit: Also, I'm getting quite a few errors/no availability shown results when using the AF method. Could this be a glitch in the airfrance.us booking engine, or something else? Sometimes it shows me the proper availability, other times it's just this:

Well, that's exactly what you would get if you selected "SkyTeam" instead of the "DL 3-Tier" option under [Airline:].

Could you please provide a screenshot of your input screen?

Looks like there is actually no Award Availability on the short-hall segment:

Aha that's why... I got it now, thanks for your help :)

Edit: Hmm... but I'm not showing _anything_ on the PAR-ATL leg either... and it isn't just this search- many other searches have given a null result when the award space is actually there.

Sometimes I refresh and it actually shows the right availability, but most of the time it's just this above.

Must have been a transient issue on AF's end:

Using the internet at school (which is filtered) with KVS on my laptop, even after setting the proxy server and my proxy authentication details, none of the award methods except DL-SkyTeam are working, and I'm getting a disconnected error. (DL works fine) Do you know why this is the case? The individual airline websites are not blocked- so I can access the ANA/BA/AF website through my browser, but when using the KVS tool, I get an error. (9002- Disconnected)

This is what I get with the internet test

Unfortunately, you will not be able to access Methods that require Membership Credentials with that type of an internet connection -- please see http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Compatibility

KVS can we pick our own password for the mobile website?

jasonvr Apr 8, 2012 12:24 pm

Maybe I'm being dense here, but what is the process to get an M&M account without having miles? The old suggestion (which is on the website as well), is to get a Jet Friends account which is for a child. I actually got that to work (which was odd since it is only for children and had to adjust my birth date), but the username and password still don't let me search. I get the same "requires a permanent account" message. I linked it to my existing M&M number (with no miles) and maybe that's why??

I also tried creating an account from scratch, but the login and password never worked on the M&M site and eventually got locked out :(

Can someone walk me thru the steps, or has something changed and this won't work anymore?

When you sign-up for a new JF account, you will receive a JF Card & PIN by postal mail.

Please try and fix this in the future. I can never remember the very difficult password that you generate and thus find the mobile tool useless.
