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.

Fine Print:
*Get 200 points for each week you donate women's, men's or kids' shoes between August 1–31, 2021. Customers can only earn points for donating once per week. Points are only given to DSW VIP members, but anyone can donate! Not valid toward alcohol gift cards, past purchases, select services, shipping, delivery, or tax. No cash back. Not valid at DSW Canada or www.dsw.ca [dsw.ca]. Other restrictions may apply. See store or dsw.com for exclusions and details. Subject to full terms of use at dsw.com/en/us/legal/web-terms. Terms subject to change without prior notice. Contact shoephoria! Center: 1.866.DSW.SHOES or [email protected] for help.

Quote from SiennaDeer8270 :
Can you clarify what you are trying to say? Can you only get one 200 point bonus from Sunday to Saturday? Can we get five 200 point bonuses in August?
You get up to 1 x 200 point bonus per Sunday to Saturday week by donating a shoe in this time period. If you started with the first week of August, you should be able to get up to 5 x 200 points because the fifth week starts on August 29th, as long as you donate on that week before August 31st. I started on the Saturday of that first week.

Just to add another data point about the whole 7 day period vs calendar week, I donated my first pair of shoes on Thursday, 8/19 and got the 200 points. Donated another pair today on Sunday, 8/22 and I got another 200 points. So it appears you can indeed donate every calendar week with the week restarting on Sunday. Looking forward to getting in one more $10 donation next Sunday.

The rewards term reads there is a limit of three (3) Rewards, discounts, and/or offers per transaction. Does that mean three $10 rewards, which total to $30 for this deal? Or $20 if used on clearance? Also, rewards are one time use and forfeited if purchase is returned, so pretty much sale is final?

Not at my store. You put the shoes in their bin by yourself.

Just a reminder that it's the last week for $10 credit (200 points). You have Monday and Tuesday left, and then I assume it will revert back to the usual $2.50 credit (50 points).

I successfully earned $50 in rewards this month after my donation today.

It's not a bad deal if you were planning to get rid of shoes anyway I guess.

They ran the same promotion in April of this year. So you can wait till April 2022.
