New Features on HomeExchange Collection
Exclusive Features for HomeExchange Collection Members
Discover the new features developed exclusively for the HomeExchange Collection community and how to use them.
1. A filter in the search to find Collection homes
Collection members have access to 10,000+ curated Collection homes, as well as 500,000+ homes on HomeExchange Classic. This filter allows members to search for luxury exchanges or expand their search across the full global community, depending on the type of trip they are looking for.
To access this feature, start a search, select filters, and click the "Collection home" filter.
In addition, there are filters exclusively for Collection members to search for homes near golf courses, ski in/ski out, and beach front access.
2. Optional privacy setting to make your home visible to Collection members only
If you receive a high volume of requests, you can limit your home’s visibility to Collection members only.
To access this feature, go to your listing (put your mouse over ‘My account’ in the top right corner and click on ‘My home’ in the drop-down menu), scroll down to reach ‘Contact preferences’ and beside ‘Collection members only’, switch the toggle to ‘Yes’.
3. The ability to hide your listing from search engines
If you prefer to keep your home private and not visible on search engines, you can activate this feature easily.
Go to your listing and scroll down to ‘Privacy’ and beside ‘Make your home inaccessible by search engines’, switch the toggle to ‘Yes’.
4. An increase in your home's nightly number of GuestPoints
Upon joining Collection from HomeExchange Classic, we will increase your home's nightly number of GuestPoints by around 50% to better reflect the value of your home.
This value will appear the same for both HomeExchange Collection members and regular HomeExchange members.
5. Welcome GuestPoints to use on your first exchange
HomeExchange Collection members receive a welcome bonus of 1,050 GuestPoints to use toward their first exchange. These points never expire and typically cover around three nights in an average Collection home.
6. Professional Photo Enhancement
Elevate the look of your profile with professionally edited photos. Take great photos of your home, upload them to your profile, and we will do the rest!
7. Exclusive Partner Offers
A HomeExchange Collection membership comes with perks that go beyond home exchanges. Members can enjoy exclusive discounts from our partners.
