Ever wanted to take a spontaneous weekend trip, but couldn’t find an affordable option on short notice? Enter: Swiftstay, a home exchange club in Charlotte where guests only pay cleaning costs to spend a weekend away.
How does it work?
Swiftstay is based off of a credit system. Every member starts with three credits (one credit = one night).
- Every home is one credit per night — no matter how big or small.
- You can travel for three nights before listing your home + you receive more credits once your home is listed. Swiftstay also provides linens, toiletries, and cleaning crew.
- Members get .2 credits per night for listing and one credit per night a user books their home.
What’s the cost?
The membership is $300 a year but Swiftstay is waiving the first-year membership fee for folks who apply + get accepted in July, as part of its founding memberships. This means you get to travel for the weekend for the price of the cleaning fee, which ranges $99-$150 per booking.
Where can you travel?
Swiftstay is launching in Asheville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Charleston, Chattanooga, Nashville, and Savannah — with more cities and seasonal destinations (think: mountains and ski towns) dropping soon.
Every Sunday at 6 p.m., Swiftstay will drop listings within a 1-5-hour drive from your home. Whether you’re looking to try out a different neighborhood in the Queen City or travel a little further away, there are plenty of homes with charm to choose from.
