The Number of Exchanges posted on each listing profile is doubled from reality. Mine says I’ve done 92 exchanges. This is NOT true. I’ve done 46. For some (dumb) reason, HE counts each exchange as 2 instead of 1. When a member does an exchange (reciprocal, for example) they exchange with ONE other member and that member does ONE exchange with me. I don’t go to 2 places and neither do they. HE updates the Host’s profile with a count of 2…AND…the update the Guest’s profile with a count of 2, for a total of FOUR!! This is ridiculous, mis-leading, and doesn’t make an ounce of common sense. I contacted HE support and they corrected my count (1 count for each exchange) but soon after I received an email stating their tech dept advised him to change it back to 92. I haven’t been to 92 places…i"ve only been to 46! FIX THIS!!! (please)
I read it as being 2 exchange experiences, that of the host and that of the guest. As it’s the same for every member I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.

I don’t lose sleep over it. I just think it’s misleading to say I’ve done 92 exchanges when I’ve only travelled to 46 places. Between 2 parties in one transaction the total count should not be 4. Another way to look at it is reviews…if I did 92 exchanges I should have, in theory, 92 reviews (minus those who didn’t post one).
