We are so happy that our Swappers return year after year for our Summer & Winter Swaps – we’ve built an amazing community on our site and on Facebook, and we want to celebrate and reward you!
Our Card and Ornament Swaps will Always be Free, and all 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.
Member Ranks
Before you successfully complete a Swap you’re a First Time Swapper. You may have restrictions on which Swaps you can join.
Once you’ve successfully completed your first Swap you’ll have a wider range of Card/Ornament & Gift Swap options available!
Super Swappers have completed 3 or more Swaps and have earned at least one Member Award.
They can participate in our Premium Gift Swaps.
Our most Loyal Swappers, keep returning year after year. As a VIP Swapper you can earn Premium Passes and more (stay tuned!)
A Big Christmas Swap Membership is Free.

Our regular Card & Ornament Swaps will Always be Free.
Our Premium Swaps can be joined using Premium Points, which can be earned or purchased.
