Did you know that there are three methods designed to increase security and trust, which are all visible on member profiles for potential hosts and surfers?

  1. Personal references, which hosts and surfers have the option to leave after having used the service.[2]
  2. An optional credit card verification system, allowing members to "lock in" their name and address by making a credit card payment and entering a code that CouchSurfing mails to an address of their choice. This also allows CouchSurfing to recoup some costs by requiring a fee for verification. For fairness, the verification fee is based on a sliding scale, taking into account the Purchasing Power Parity and Human Development Index of the country of residence.
