Where does the KVS tool get its data and is KVS authorized to provide this data in the manner it is presented?

The tool is known to access a variety of web sites, many in a manner that is not authorized. Please see the next section of this Wiki for a list of sites believed to be accessed and their data access policies (where known).

Additionally, under some conditions the tool appears to access sites via a KVS-operated back end. This means that the tool is not just a 'web browser' that runs via a user's machine. No detailed public information is available about how this works or whether any of this back-end access is authorized.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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].
