SHH Key Stay
A flexible, one-way way to travel when a direct swap is not possible. Earn SHH Keys by hosting other members, then use them towards your own stays.
Travel without a return visit
Sometimes a direct swap will not line up, or you simply want to visit somewhere without hosting in return. An SHH Key Stay lets you do that. Keys are earned by welcoming guests into your own home, and a stay uses the destination home’s assigned Keys per night.

How SHH Keys work
A few simple rules keep Keys fair and focused on genuine stays.
- An SHH Key is an internal platform credit, not cash.
- Keys cannot be bought, sold or freely transferred between members.
- A Key is always linked to an agreed stay before it is used.
- Reciprocal Swap and Flexible Swap do not use Keys.
- A host can accept or decline any SHH Key Stay request.
Final cancellation and Key-release wording will be confirmed in the Exchange Rules before launch.

How do I earn Keys?
