StayCredits™

Swapdesk is a community, not a marketplace.

Using the same value for all member homes eliminates the need for price comparisons. This system is intended to promote equitable exchanges, and provides members with a transparent, affordable option for travel accommodation.

When sending a trip suggestion to a member, select "Stay with StayCredits" as the "Trip Type".

Remember: StayCredits™ simply allow you to stay at a members home without needing to host them at your home. StayCredits™ do not act as an alternative to the annual membership, nor do they act as an alternative to the nightly rate.

The best way to get StayCredits™ is to earn them when you host a member at your home.

However, we also reward members when they complete certain achievements:

1️⃣ When a member creates their profile, we award them 10 StayCredits™

2️⃣ When a member publishes their home's listing, we award them 20 StayCredits™

3️⃣ When a member sets their availability calendar, we award them 10 StayCredits™

4️⃣ When a member refers friends/colleagues using their unique code, we award them StayCredits™ (Learn about our current referral program offer)

5️⃣ Swapdesk Premium Members receive an additional 20 StayCredits™

Members will have an opportunity to purchase StayCredits™ directly from Swapdesk for a limited time while we carefully control the amount in circulation. Stay tuned for updates! We'll continue to improve the ways members can earn StayCredits™.

Hosting on Swapdesk instead of Airbnb is the obvious choice for a number of reasons.

For starters, Swapdesk doesn't impose Airbnb's 18% service fee each time you host.

Airbnb hosts receive money which is taxable income. Hosts on Swapdesk earn StayCredits™ which can be used to stay at a members home on their next trip. StayCredits™ grant the flexibility to travel anywhere, for longer, offering the best value for anyone who loves to travel for less.

Swapdesk is a community of verified professionals who want ways to travel and maximize their savings together. Airbnb is a massive marketplace filled with randoms and corporation-backed rentals only interested in profit.
