Your home
All your photos, reviews and information from the Love Home Swap website have been transferred over to HomeExchange. We’d therefore suggest you take a look and edit some of the details about your home.
HomeExchange provides the option to add a lot more information about your home, including all the amenities, the number/type of beds available and the size of the property. All of this information contributes towards the GuestPoints value of your home, so you should ensure it is all updated and correct.
Once your home is at least 80% complete, make sure you verify your ID and address. This will greatly increase the number of exchange opportunities you receive.
Your profile
A lot of your profile information will already be complete, as your information from Love Home Swap has transferred across. But you can let everyone know a bit more about you and anyone you travel with to foster trust with your exchange partners.
You can tell members the languages that you speak, add up to 20 of your preferred destinations, and also join groups based on your interests.
From your profile page, you can also include a ‘partner email’. Any notifications you receive from HomeExchange will be sent to that email address as well as your account email, so you and anyone you travel with can simultaneously stay up to date.
Your messages
Your discussions from Love Home Swap can all be found by clicking the ‘Messages’ button in the top right corner of the website.
You can see your upcoming exchanges here, as well as any ongoing conversations. Confirmed exchanges that have been agreed by both parties will show as ‘Finalized’.
Your Points
Just to the right of your ‘Messages’, you can see your GuestPoints balance. Any Points from Love Home Swap will have transferred across as GuestPoints, on a one-for-one basis.
By completing all details for your home and by verifying your ID and address*, you will receive some bonus GuestPoints from HomeExchange.
*this is only valid for your first home created and verified
