Looking for a cheap or even a free pair of shoes for the summer? You’re in luck.
DSW is offering $10 in-store credit to anyone who signs up for a VIP account — and it can be used toward any purchase online or at the retailer’s stores.
Even better, some styles retail for under $10 — like Marvel’s Baby Groot toddler slipper — which essentially means you’re getting a new pair of sandals for free. For existing VIP members, DSW is running a promotion for four points on every purchase, meaning Club and Gold members get a $5 reward for every $25 spent, and Elite members earn the same reward for just $20 spent.
Last month, DSW announced the launch of its redesigned app, DSW VIP, which aims to transform every one of its 25 million members into VIPs with its three tiers: VIP Club, VIP Gold and VIP Elite.
While the VIP Club is free to join, Gold and Elite members keep their status with a respective $200 and $500 annual spend. All three tiers receive birthday rewards, but the latter two additionally earn shareable $5 birthday rewards coupons as well as early access to exclusive offers and events.
