Is KVSTool still running or is it defunct now?

Is KVSTool still a running tool or is there a large delay in getting registration codes?

I paid for it last night and it's been over 24hrs and still no temp registration code. Do emails actually get flagged by free email processors? I feel like that's a huge red flag if that's the case.

Go ask in the KVS forum on flyer talk. The founder is pretty active there.

Gmail flagged my temp code as suspicious because it is from a gmail.com address but originated from another server. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gmail or other providers block it entirely sometimes since the email fails SPF.

When I renewed this summer also took 6 days between when I paid and when I got my new permanent code (I added a computer at the same time), but fortunately the temp code worked.

Thats unfortunate, I'll wait to see how long it takes them to either respond to my query on flyertalk or through email then. I wonder why they dont just get their own email server.

Because they don’t care. Took me 8 weeks and then they blamed it on me, essentially.

I didn’t get a temporary or permanent code.

Reminds me I need to do the chargeback.

Very unreliable now. Paid and never got my code - no temporary code, no permanent.

Didn’t appear in spam either.

Took weeks (like, 8) for an email response. Basically blamed it on my mail provider (Gmail).

Many unhappy people on FlyerTalk.

Don’t bother anymore. Just a scam now, essentially.

KVS Tool continues to work normally. We do have a warning on the sign-up/renewal page not to use GMail as it blocks the automated e-mails that contain Temporary Registration Codes, but, unfortunately, some Members choose to ignore it.
