Do I need to swap homes at the same time?
+
No. That's the whole point. You earn GuestPoints when you host — then spend them whenever you want to travel. Your host and your stay don't need to overlap at all.
What do the 500 welcome GuestPoints get me?
+
Welcome points give you a head start. Most listings cost 50–200 points per night, so 500 points is typically 3–10 free nights once you're a member and can request exchanges.
How does $99/year compare to alternatives?
+
HomeExchange charges $298/year. LoveHomeSwap is £119/year (~$150). Intervac is around $100/year but requires simultaneous swaps. Dwello is $99/year with the most flexible model.
Can I try before I subscribe?
+
Yes. Create a free account and browse every listing in full detail. Membership is only required when you're ready to list your home or request your first stay.
Is there a refund policy?
+
If you haven't used any exchanges, contact us within 30 days for a full refund. Email hello@dwello.com.
