We are so happy that our Swappers return year after year for our Summer & Winter Swaps – we’ve built an amazing community and we want to celebrate and reward you! The more Swaps you participate in, the higher your Membership Rank.

Our Card and Ornament Swaps will Always be Free, and New Members will always have access to at least one Card Swap. However, there may be specific restrictions (like, location or group size), or additional Swaps only available to certain Ranks. This helps us build a community of trustworthy Swappers, who can be counted on to successfully participate within our Swaps.
