olidaying in beautiful homes for
free is easier than ever thanks to
Love Home Swap and their new Swap
Points.
A world-first within the social travel
sector, Swap Points makes coordinating
home swaps even simpler, as members
no longer need to match exact dates or
destinations with each other. Instead,
they can now pledge time in their property
in exchange for points, which they can
redeem stays in stylish homes of their
choice across the globe.
From Iceland to Istanbul, Britain to Brazil
and everywhere in between, Love Home
Swap has seen huge growth in the past two
years and is now the world’s biggest home
exchange club. Saving swappers an average
of $3,813 each trip and with 45,000+
properties in 150 countries available
worldwide, Love Home Swap is the most
dynamic home-swapping community on
the web and your ticket to travelling the
world without spending a fortune.
Whether you want to kick-back in a
Balinese beach house, experience a
white Christmas in Whistler or swap
Sydney for the Sunshine Coast this
summer, the launch of the new Swap
Points scheme in conjunction with the
traditional swap option makes homeswapping easier than ever.

Home Swap’s new unique TripFinder
function allows you to find homes and
locations of your choice, simply punch in
the dates you wish to travel and you’ll be
presented with all the homes available in
your chosen destination throughout that

Launching the new system this month,
Love Home Swap Founder Debbie
Wosskow, who had the idea for Love
Home Swap after struggling to find
accommodation for a family vacation that
had the comforts of home but didn’t cost
the earth, said Swap Points would
revolutionize the home-swapping market.
‘Our new Swap Points scheme is a worldfirst in the social travel sector and
provides the perfect solution for members
who are unable to commit to a
simultaneous swap,’ she said.
‘Love Home Swap is all about taking the
stress and high accommodation costs out
of vacation planning, and in addition to
our new TripFinder feature, the
introduction of our new Swap Points and
rental systems eliminates the trickiest
part of swapping – coordinating swap
dates. Now, members can book their
dream getaw ay at their utmost
convenience, simply in exchange for

pledging time in their own home.’
For the crème de la crème of holiday
swapping, Love Home Swap also offers a
personal swap consultation, five-star
concierge service and a dedicated travel
team for Platinum members ($45.75 per
month), in addition to a priority featured
listing for their own home.

Gold Members ($35 per month) are
offered support from the dedicated travel
team, as well as additional exposure on
the site and Silver members, can enjoy a
basic package with unlimited swap
messaging throughout the year, by paying
just $17.92 per month.
Initially, you can experience the Love
Home Swap service with a FREE 14-day
