You can search all airlines within an Alliance, but multiple Alliances cannot be searched in a single search.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Only C & Y Awards are available on that flight and the M&M website shows the same:

For the past 36 hours I've not been able to use the Awards/OneWorld method. The text of the error varies, sometimes just text scraped from whatever the Qantas site provides, sometimes a data source error about traveler ID. I'm able to access my Qantas account with the credentials just fine.

Also cannot use the BA-OneWorld method - it keeps telling me I need to input my BA credentials which are already populated and this has worked in the past successfully. It's insisting on the 6-20 character password. But for the longest time it's been my membership number and my PIN. I know I can't log into the BA site unless I use my membership # and PIN, or my username and password. I can't mix and match.

There seems to have been a re-calculation overnight:

M&M website now shows me F Awards on LH 456/450 available for Sep 4, 5 and 6:

None of those are shown in KVS, unfortunately. What could be the reason for that?

You are able to use either your BAEC Membership Card # or Username (E-Mail Address) in combination with your Password to login.

The use of PINs is currently being phased-out by BAEC and is no longer supported in the KVS Tool.

To see M&M Award Availability, you need to use the [Awards/M&M] Method:

Worldmate $99 renewal
 
As a former Blackberry (and therefore Blackberry Travel) user, when I moved to Android, I went to Worldmate as it is the base for BB Travel. It was $10 for 1 year of the gold service. Now, my year is up, and they want $99 for renewal.

I'm not willing to pay $99 for it, but would renew if it was <$20. Anyone have any luck in getting a discounted rate, or moved to a different solution all together?

Shak51 Aug 26, 2014 12:30 pm

I have been a WorldMate Gold member since June 2012 and I have yet to pay or have been asked to pay an annual fee. I paid $2.99 at that time. If they do ask for a yearly fee I will be an X member. WorldMate is a nice app but there are plenty of alternatives.

Awards/Oneworld Search - QF FF Credentials
 
Hi Friends,

Could you please guide me here.... Have been calling AA Advantage desk multiple times for the past 2 weeks for travel from MAA to DFW through AA Award Travel.

While reseraching online is when I stumbled upon KVS and I cannot call myself a frequent flyer not knowing about KVS. I registered for Diamond level and Awards/Oneworld search is not working for me. I registered for QF FF and saved the details with pin in KVS tool.

But even after adding QF FF info, the tool is again directing me to "The requested method required QF FF Membership Credentials"

I am using Version 7.4.2

Any guidance, appreciated.

Have you entered your QF FF Card # and Last Name correctly?

Hi, thank you for getting back to me.

Yes, I have tried last name or QF FF Number and PIN number. But still facing the same issue. All preliminary troubleshooting options I have explored. Please guide.

You need to enter both.

(Disclosure: I am WorldMate Customer Care Team Leader)

The $99 price for WorldMate Gold is the old WorldMate subscription fee which was available for Blackberry devices.

The new WorldMate subscription is purchases in the App Store or in-app for Android users and the fee is $9.99/year. We sometimes have price drops during which the price changes, like when "Shak51" bought it.

I therefore advising you to purchase Gold in your Android device for $9.99/year. We'd be happy to assist you with the purchase or with any other things, please feel free to contact [email protected].
