Are you hoping to go on your next vacation, but find yourself needing more GuestPoints to make an exchange? Does this mean that your dreams of a relaxing getaway are dashed? Not at all! From hosting guests to filming videos about your experience, HomeExchange has a variety of ways you can get GuestPoints that you can use to finalize your exchange.
Plan your next tripComplete your profile and listing
This is perhaps the easiest way to get GuestPoints, and all you have to do is set up your profile! You can receive 450 GuestPoints just for creating your account, another 350 GuestPoints for completing your profile, and an additional 350 GuestPoints when you complete your first listing. These are great for members who are just getting started with HomeExchange and would like to try being a guest before dipping their toes into hosting. After you finish setting up your profile and listing, you can receive a total of 1,150 GuestPoints!
Verify your profile
Another way to get GuestPoints is by becoming a verified member. By verifying your first listing, you not only receive 100 GuestPoints, but you also increase the trust between you and other members and can make finalizing exchanges even easier.
Host members in your home
The very best way to obtain GuestPoints is by hosting your fellow HomeExchange members. HomeExchange has several ways to swap homes: reciprocal, non-reciprocal, and hospitality. With a private room exchange and non-reciprocal exchange, you can get a certain amount of GuestPoints per night.
A non-reciprocal exchange allows you to offer your home in exchange for GuestPoints, which you can then use to go on another exchange if you are not interested in staying at your guest’s home.
A hospitality exchange involves offering only a part of your home rather than the whole property. This can be a bedroom, or even an entire wing of the home. It allows you to get GuestPoints that you could use for a future exchange without you having to leave your home at all.
Find an exchangeRefer a friend
If you love spreading the word about HomeExchange and would like some more GuestPoints, you can refer up to 10 friends and receive 50 GP per person when they sign up and complete their profile and listing. When they activate their membership, you will receive an additional 200 GP per referral. This means that if you sponsor 10 friends and they all complete their profile, listing, and activate their membership, you could obtain up to 2,500 GP!
Renew your membership
Did you know that you can receive 250 GuestPoints by automatically renewing your membership? If you renew before or within 48 hours after your membership expires, you can get GuestPoints to use for a future trip.
