On other platforms, you typically pay a nightly rental fee, service fee, and cleaning. On Kindred, credits replace that nightly rental fee - i.e. there are no nightly rental fees when you book a trip with Kindred! Accepted members only cover the cost of cleaning and a small service fee per stay. Cleaning will vary by size & location of the home, while service fees vary between $5 - $35/night depending on length of stay.
On Kindred, 1 credit = 1-night stay. This is part of our "give to get" model. You can earn credits in a variety of ways, but most commonly through hosting where you earn 1 credit for each night hosted.
Members also have the option of purchasing a Kindred Passport for $600, which unlocks $0 service fees for an unlimited number of trips booked that year. Passport typically makes sense for members who plan to book more than two trips in a year, which is fairly typical usage. You can pay up front or in quarterly installments.
