HOW WE KEEP THE LIGHTS ON

No money changes hands between you and your swop-mate.

Swops charges each household a $100 matching fee, but only once you've both said yes and we've put you in touch. That one payment covers you for a full year of swops.

Stay three nights and that's $33 a night. Swop three weekends a year and you're looking at $33 a weekend.

Either of you can change your mind within 24 hours of your video meet and both sides receive a full refund.

If your plans change more than a week before a swop, there's no penalty. Your year of swops stands, so just line up another one.

Cancel inside the last week and your $100 isn't refunded, but the other swopper is looked after with a priority alternate swop or a full refund.
