About Kindred
Kindred is a members-only home swapping community with 300,000+ homes across North America and Europe.
Unlike traditional short-term rental platforms, Kindred is built on a “give-to-get” model. Members don’t rent their homes for income — they host to unlock travel credits which can be used to stay at any property within the network (1 credit = 1 night).
When traveling, members only pay a small service and cleaning fee, making trips through Kindred a fraction of the cost of hotels or traditional vacation rentals.
- Kindred has experienced rapid growth as travelers seek authentic, cost-effective alternatives to traditional accommodations.

- Current Program Status
Kindred is currently focused on a select number of strategic media partners and is not broadly scaling its affiliate footprint at this time.
We welcome outreach from premium publishers and creators who believe their audience would genuinely benefit from a home swapping community built on trust and reciprocity.
