?? You would only consider an exchange on the site I recommended if it was of the equal quality of the one you own, you can refuse any exchange you dont fancy, obviously, so a points system would perhaps overly complicate things.Pryces wrote:Thanks for that not sure if that ones for me

I'm registered with www.exchangeholidayhomes.com It's worked successfully for other owners I know. My accommodation is at the lower end of the market so less desirable and I find you only get enquiries if you keep live dates on there. If you're interested they used to have a referral scheme although I don't know if they still do. Send me a pm if so.

The site I'm on is for holiday homes only. Some people own large properties but only need smaller places when they go away. Some are restricted to school holiday travel, some can go any time year. Some want weeks, some short breaks. You get the picture. From these perspectives, a points system works really well.
Doesn't really explain how it works though Nemo. I had thought that the home exchange thing tended to be based on 'I stay at your place this week/fortnight while you stay at mine the same time' but from what you're saying it doesn't work like that. Where do points come into the equation and how are they earned?
With the points system you earn them by allowing guests in yours and you earn different amounts for the varying lengths of stay or time of year. So say you let someone stay for a peak week. That may earn you enough points to have two short stays somewhere of your choice, but in all likelihood that's unlikely to be staying in the persons property who stayed in yours. The points mean neither of you are tied at all to how/when you earn them and how/where you spend them.
