Frequently Asked Questions
How does HotelSwaps work?
What are HotelCoins?
1. Earn HotelCoins. Advertise your availability on the HotelSwaps channel on SiteMinder and earn HotelCoins as payment for reservations made by other HotelSwaps members.
2. Transfer HotelCoins. Transfer your HotelCoins to anybody of your choice - owners, employees, suppliers etc.
3. Book rooms with HotelCoins. Recipients of HotelCoins can use this currency to pay for stays at any other hotel member – either from advertised availability or as a request for specific dates.
How many HotelCoins do I earn for a booking?
In order to offer a fair exchange between members, the HotelCoin price per Room Night booked through HotelSwaps is determined by the hotel's public pricing and the seasonality of its location.
See our Frequently Asked Questions for more details about the HotelCoins currency.
