The Classic Exchange

Two families exchange each others' homes, whether simultaneously or on different dates. This is called a "reciprocal" exchange.

Exchange with GuestPoints

GuestPoints are the key to an easy exchange. What happens if you find another Member with an available home, but that Member doesn't want to stay at your home in return? You can offer them GuestPoints that they can use to go stay at another Member's home in the destination of their choosing! Each Member receives GuestPoints when they sign up and when they host other Members.

Example: You and your family go on a 6-night vacation to France and stay at another Member's home for 100 GPs per night. You would give your host 600 GPs for this vacation. Your host can use these 600 GPs to organize their vacation.
