Thanks to forum member Charlando, I found out about
this deal back in April. DSW gave 200 points a week for donating shoes. Since that promo ended, they dropped it to 50 points a week. But when August started, they reinstated the bonus. I realized it when I received 200 points this week while expecting 50.
So the deal is back through August 31. You can see the details
HERE [dsw.com]. All you have to do is be a VIP Rewards member with more than 0 points in your balance. It's very easy to do, assuming you've already signed up for VIP Rewards. Just walk in, go to the register, give the cashier your phone number, and they will issue you the points. Then drop your shoes in the box. (At least that's how it works at my local store.)
You should be able to get up to around $50 in rewards, and yes they will stack for a purchase. You can also choose in your account whether to wait until you get $20 worth (or $5 worth, which is not applicable for this deal) to convert to rewards. Once you earn enough points for a reward, though, it's cashed in automatically and there's an expiration date of a couple months later.
You may not have extra shoes you want to give away, but I have a bunch I was going to donate anyway, so this deal has been great for me. I hope others can take advantage of it if interested.

edit: you can get 10 points for adding your birthday
The one thing you can do is to go into your rewards account and change your preferences to redeem at $20 increments. In that case, you'd get an extra week and have a $20 reward after donating two pairs of shoes. But there's no way (that I know) to bank the points until you want or need to use them, sort of like Best Buy does with Elite status members.

Actually I donated flip flops once and they didn't care. I got the full amount of points. They were nicer flip flops though. Not the cheap stuff from the dollar store
Bring in any bag. My DSW never inspected whenever I went, but I'm assuming with this promotion they may actually inspect.
