Your Barter Authority membership gives you access to hundreds of reputable trade exchanges nationwide. Over 300,000 strong, our network of travel and trade partners have earned the right to do business with Barter Authority members by meeting the strict standards of ethical business practices and solid management of either the National Association of Trade Exchanges or the International Reciprocal Trade Association.

Bottom line, you already enjoy the benefits of membership in hundreds of quality trade exchanges without paying any extra fees.

CAUTION: All trade exchanges are not the same. Not every trade exchange is willing or able to meet the high standards of either barter industry trade association. Please notify the office immediately if you are contacted by anyone asking you to pay extra fees to allow their hungry trade exchange members access to your quality products and services. If a trade exchange hasn’t been allowed to do business with Barter Authority members through established national reciprocal channels, there’s probably a very good reason. Please let us put you in touch with fellow members who can share with you accounts of their dealings with a trade exchange which does not enjoy trading privileges with our members. You may avoid unnecessary expense and disappointment.

We value your membership and friendship and we’ll do everything in our power to assure a quality local network of respected businesses. When you are ready to travel outside of Virginia we have 300,000 wonderful reciprocal members ready to trade with you. Enjoy!
