Got questions for us?
Yes! To downgrade or upgrade your membership, simply go to your membership page here . To downgrade, you can wait till your current membership expires.
To upgrade to a couple account, login to your profile and go to the "Upgrade to a couple account" link. When you upgrade to a couple account, your account still ends 1 year from the date of your current subscription's payment (not from when you upgrade.)
Remember, you should only get a couple profile if you will always be travelling together, you should not apply to hosts for just one person from a couple profile.
