Many have wondered why they don’t have full access to the Member Portal immediately when they join.

The quick answer is they haven't completed the registration process. We require all members to provide the same level of information as every other member. This serves two purposes.

1. It provides the necessary information for other members to determine whether they would want to exchange their home with you.
2. It ensures all members are disclosing the same information while maintaining the same level of anonymity.

If you provide the three sets of information required to gain full access to the Member Portal when you first Join, you immediately have full access to search other Member properties in EXPLORE or to set up Time-to-Go^® date ranges.

If for some reason you do not complete the minimum required information at the time you Join, you can complete the registration process the next time you log in.
