Celebrating Our Founding Members: A Heartfelt Thank You

Over the last two and a half years, we’ve been building more than just a home swap platform—we’ve been growing a community.

Today, we want to take a moment to thank you, our founding members, for taking the plunge, sharing your homes, and helping shape Habiqo into what it is today. Your trust and support have been invaluable, and we truly wouldn’t be here without you.

As a token of our appreciation, your free lifetime membership is guaranteed. No matter how much Habiqo grows or evolves, you will never have to pay to access the platform. You’ll always be able to:

  • List your home
  • Connect with other members
  • Arrange swaps

—all without any fees.

To recognize your role in building this community, your profile now carries a special Founding Member badge. When others hover over it, they’ll see that you were among the first to help create something special.

This badge isn’t just a symbol—it’s a mark of the trust, experience, and generosity that define our community.

Your Questions About Free Lifetime Membership—Answered

 

Now that Habiqo has introduced subscription-based membership, we want to clarify what your Founding Member status means and what you can expect moving forward. 

 

Does my free lifetime membership ever expire?

No, as a Founding Member, your free membership is permanent as long as you meet the basic activity requirements.

What if I sell my house or move?

Your membership stays with you! Just update your listing with your new home, and you can continue swapping as usual.

What if I don’t complete a swap for a while?

We encourage at least one swap every two years to maintain your membership. If you take a long break, just reach out, and we’ll help you get back into the community.

Can I temporarily pause my listing?

Yes! You can make your listing inactive if you need a break, but it’s important to keep your account active by logging in and staying engaged.

Can I transfer my free lifetime membership to someone else?

No, memberships are non-transferable. However, if your home situation changes, you can update your listing.

Will I ever have to pay for features?

Your access to Habiqo’s core features—listing your home, searching for swaps, and messaging members—will always remain free. In the future, optional premium features may be introduced, but your ability to swap will never be restricted.

Do I need to respond to messages to keep my membership?

Yes, we ask that all members maintain at least an 80% response rate to ensure a positive experience for everyone in the community.

Can I list multiple homes under my membership?

Yes, as long as each listing meets Habiqo's guidelines, please refer to our Terms of Use for detailed information.

What happens if I stop swapping completely?

Your membership remains available if you decide to return later, but we encourage members to stay engaged to keep the platform thriving.

Can I update my listing anytime?

Absolutely! You can change your photos, home details, and availability whenever needed.

A Special Thanks to You

Your Founding Member badge is a visible reminder of your early support and contribution to Habiqo. When others see it, they’ll know that you were part of the journey from the start.

We’re so grateful to have you with us and look forward to seeing all the incredible swaps you’ll experience.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the group or reach out to us directly. ourcommunity@habiqohomeswap.com

Happy swapping!
