Third party exchanges

I am fairly new to HE and I just received a request for a guest point exchange but the person requesting is using his account and points for his friends and adult daughter to stay.
Is this normal? I thought I would be dealing with members only exchanging with members.

Hello. That’s not normal except if the daughter still lives with this member.
See rules : https://help.homeexchange.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011893118-Can-I-finalize-an-exchange-for-a-friend-extended-family-member-using-my-account

Please report it for the staff to check, https://help.homeexchange.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000623857-How-and-why-should-I-report-a-member

And even if people are within the guidelines if you don’t feel comfortable in the swap it is not a booking site you do not have to accept any swap. You can say it does not work for you. While I sometimes give a reason if I think a future swap or different dates would maybe work out some time or if I will never have an interest in the location you don’t have to give a reason.
