The 4 bedroom GL residence is very expensive so I imagine that you would getting a lot of points or keys for depositing it. “A couple of years ago, we planned a few trips exclusively for our top-tier members that were smaller and more intimate in nature, with all the details pre-planned,” explain Shealy. “These trips gave travelers the chance to not only connect with the culture, but with others on the trip who also appreciated the elevated experiences.

Yes I would be curious too regarding the use of DC Points. I would never swap a home or rent a home on ThirdHome but I might consider using DC Points if the trades were worth it. Personally I like staying at resorts with amenities over other people's homes.
Also, no one pays the entry level membership fee of $2,500. They let everyone enroll for free as long as you make a qualifying timeshare deposit or exchange your home. If you own a luxury timeshare like Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton, you can deposit your weeks and get "keys" - their version of points. You need to deposit more than you would get in return. Having earned the trust of luxury homeowners worldwide, Third Home recently drew on the portfolio of properties it built through its exchange program to create its rental service.
ThirdHome Review – August 2018
Also, I question what kind of "wealthy" people would have the need to enroll a home and exchange. If you are accepted, you will be given access to the internal marketplace where there are nearly 10,000 homes on offer. All the homes on Third Home have a combined value of around $10 billion with the average worth around $2.5 million. Rentals Search our exclusive collection of homes, then book your luxury trip with confidence and without compromise. Choose from thousands of stays and enjoy 90% or more savings compared to rental costs.
If you are not too keen on wildlife and would prefer something a little chic, there is a 5-bedroom villa in France with sweeping views of the Durance river. The idea is simple; you own a home in New York, and you would like to vacation in Barcelona. Somebody in Barcelona owns a home and would like to vacation where you own a home. You both connect and agree to stay at each other’s home.
HE, a way of life
There is even a safari in a private reserve on a 20,000-acre estate in South Africa, which comes with its own private security. The bigger the property and the more exclusive, costs more keys, likewise the bigger your home, the more keys you will earn. Once you have earned keys, you can then use them to book stays at the most luxurious homes in the world. The first difference is when you allow other members to book a stay in your home, you earn a type of digital currency known as keys. You can use these keys anytime you like – there is no exact match of exchange dates required.
After the first year there is a commission for rentals. The rental service also includes listings for properties not included in the exchange network. Shealy says "this 'buy as you fly' model give customers complete flexibility." I’ve heard that ThirdHome waves the $2500 membership fee for a lot of reasons, but I’ve never applied for membership so I can’t confirm that first hand. Members can also opt for a higher level of service by paying an annual membership fee.
I love working with goal and success-driven people. We all work hard to get the job done but also place importance on having a nice time while doing it. And the best thing about working here is having the opportunity to visit some of the properties in the club. This is a very forward-thinking environment that encourages you to contribute your opinions and leave your comfort zone. There isn't any micromanagement here, resulting in a stress-free atmosphere.
We were casually greeted by Mr. Ham House, whose real name is Michiel van Dijk. He's a Dutch antiques dealer, real estate investor, and—added bonus—male model, with a taste level so exceptional, Diane Von Furstenberg could cry her eyes out. I liked 3rd Home's strict commitment to pristine properties. There is also the security aspect, as all of the homeowners are vetted, and this option may be more favorable than using a site like Airbnb. If you own a second home you feel can make the grade, Third Home certainly presents a very attractive offer. Third Home has an online presentation that helps homeowners understand how the process works.
This is a highly forward-thinking workplace that encourages you to contribute your views and outside your comfort zone. The group I'm working with is very qualified and experienced, allowing me to develop along with them. I feel that it is a rewarding profession for everyone who is willing to put forth effort. Other properties are available for considerably more, such as a Costa Rican rainforest villa sporting a $4,449-per-night rental price tag. When you factor in that it has 10 bedrooms and can sleep 24 people, however, it still works out to a reasonable price. If you can fill this house to capacity, it costs just $184 per person to rent it out.
ThirdHome changed their pricing strategy so that there is no longer an initiation fee. All members are required to list at least one week of availability for home swapping. ThirdHome staff gave me the 11,814 count of listings. I didn’t get a response when I asked about narrowing that down to just the active listings. The website only displays the 4,385 listings so that’s my active count.
The pitch was that the rental rate ThirdHome would pay would pay for the initial investment in 3-4 months. We contacted ThirdHome the next day to get contract proceedings going as we had been warned that an agreement between Vindanta and ThirdHome was in the works that would do away with this program. Nobody on the exchange or the rental side knew what we were talking about. THIRDHOME is a luxury vacation club for people with second homes. It provides members with super-luxury home exchanges with other members' second homes or weekend houses. ThirdHome also offers house swap insurance for their members.

I've saved thousands of dollars and met some amazing people. I love staying in an actual home rather than a hotel or airbnb - and my hosts have always shared their experience with their neighbourhood and their city. I've stayed in large homes and small apartments. We are happy to read that you have had very positive experiences with HomeExchange so far and wish you many more successful exchanges. Thank you for your feedback on finalizing reciprocal exchanges with/without GuestPoints, it will be shared with our Product team.
MVCI Presidential and above can use points to reserve homes. I was looking at some last night and I saw a number of homes priced similarly to say a Hawaii week, or less. Looked pretty good for what I saw, but was going to re-look when I get back to the states. However, I just began to take notice of a site called Thirdhome. It looks like they have a very nice collection of luxury properties.
