Earn points on Hombie through home exchanges, referrals, and everyday member activity.
This guide shows the easiest, fastest, and most practical ways members earn points through home exchange, referrals, and simple participation.
If you already exchange homes, you’re likely leaving points on the table.
The tips below help you earn points naturally, stack them faster, and travel more often.
How Hombie Members Earn Points
On Hombie, points reward participation, flexibility, and trust.
Every successful home exchange helps the community and earns you more travel freedom.
Below are the nine easiest ways members earn points, explained simply.
1. Complete a Successful Home Exchange
Every completed home exchange earns points.
Hosting, exchanging, and welcoming members builds trust and grows your balance.
Why this matters:
- You earn points while travelling
- Your profile becomes more desirable
- Future exchanges become easier
2. Exchange Your Property for a Lower Point Stay
Smart members earn points by choosing lower value stays.
If your home is worth 200 points per night and you stay somewhere worth 100 points per night, you keep the difference.
This is one of the fastest ways to earn points without extra effort.
3. List Your Holiday Home as Well
Have a holiday home sitting empty? List it on Hombie for no extra charge and let it work for you.
Benefits include:
- Extra availability attracts more exchanges
- More hosting opportunities
- More points earned while you’re not using it
4. Accept Short Home Exchanges
Short stays and mid week exchanges help other members. They also help you earn points faster.
Many members need flexibility, not long holidays. Meeting that demand boosts your activity and rewards.
5. Earn Points by Referring New Members
Referrals are one of the easiest ways to earn points long-term. When people you invite join Hombie, you both benefit.
Did you know that you earn points for every new member that you refer. These points can add up to weeks and months worth of holidays. The person that you refer also receives a 20% discount of their first years membership fee.
When you reach Platinum member status you also passively earn points and income every year that you are a member of Hombie. That’s so exciting!
Members can learn more about referral rewards inside the Hombie referral program.
6. Earn Points as a Trusted House Sitter
House sitting is another simple way to earn points.
Caring for a home allows you to travel while building your points balance.
House sitters receive points each night that they house sit. You will find all the house sitting info here.
Note: If you are already a member of Hombie you do not have to pay the house sitter fee. Just contact us and let us know and we will help get you started.
7. Keep Your Home Exchange Listing Active
Active listings earn more attention. Updating availability keeps you visible to other members.
Simple actions include:
- Refreshing dates
- Replying quickly
- Confirming interest
8. Keep Your Home Exchange Listing Up to Date
Accurate listings build trust. Fresh photos and clear descriptions attract more exchanges.
Better listings lead to:
- More requests
- Faster matches
- More chances to earn points
9. Be Flexible With Your Home Exchange Dates
Flexible members exchange more often. More exchanges mean more points.
Even small flexibility:
- Different arrival days
- Shorter stays
- Seasonal openness
can dramatically increase success.
