You can earn the Referral Badge by inviting your friends to join our community. As soon as one of your friends adds and fully completes their home listing, the Referral Badge will be unlocked and visible on your home listing.
The badge will be displayed on the right side of your home listing.
If you haven’t unlocked the badge yet, you can:
- Invite friends to join HomeExchange.
- Help your friends complete their listing on HomeExchange.
Tell your friends to list you as the person who invited them to join our community.
Troubleshooting: I invited someone in the past but I don’t see my badge displayed in my home listing.
First, make sure you invite friends to HomeExchange and they sign up with your referral link and complete their home. We encourage you to help them by sharing your best HomeExchange tips!
If you still don’t see the badge on your home listing, it might be because your friend didn’t use your referral link at the moment of signup. No worries, there’s a way to amend this.
- You referred a friend
You referred a friend who signed up and completed their home listing with HomeExchange, but your Referral Badge isn't showing on your home listing.
Ask your friend to add you as their referee in their profile page ("My profile"), under the "Social and Network" section.
- You were referred by someone
You joined HomeExchange after being invited by another member, and you would like to add this member as your referee to recognize their valuable contribution to our community? In this case, go to "My profile" (under the "Social and Network" section) and add the referral code of the person who invited you.
