Thanks to a completely redesigned interface on iOS, Android, and the web, you can now see the status of your referrals at a glance, find out where your friends and family are in the process, and see how many GuestPoints you’ve received or will receive.
🔎 Discover the new referral page
From September 9 to 30, for every person you refer who activates an annual membership, you’ll each receive an extra 250 GuestPoints—a total of 500 GuestPoints. You’ll also automatically be entered into a draw for a chance to win a one-year HomeExchange membership!

A few months ago, we launched our Pets’ Corner with a simple idea: what if, during an exchange, you could find a guest to care for your pet instead of having to leave them elsewhere? With more than 2,500 listings published since June in over 20 countries, the first version of the Pets’ Corner is coming to an end. A huge thank-you to everyone who took part in this adventure!

Good news: “Cat sitting” and “Dog sitting” filters are now joining the main HomeExchange search. You can continue to find a stay with a pet to pamper — or a guest to look after yours.

Michèle invites us to rethink travelling close to home: why not exchange without booking a flight, right here, in your beautiful province?
Here’s what she shared:
“In Europe, exchanges just a few hours’ drive away are very popular, while in Quebec, we often think of home exchange as a way to travel abroad. I think it’s a shame that we overlook our own backyard… Sometimes paradise is only a few kilometres away.”
She also came up with the idea of offering her home at 50% off GuestPoints during the low season, from November to April—just 115 GP per night. A wonderful way to help people discover her beautiful, bright home in the Sainte-Foy neighbourhood!
