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 costs depend on the size and location of the home. Service fees vary, and you’ll always see the exact fee before you confirm your booking.
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.
