What a DSW Everyday gift card gets you
The card covers the full DSW catalog — designer and athletic brands for the whole family, plus handbags, socks, shoe-care, and accessories — in store and on dsw.com. Pair it with a DSW VIP account and the redemption earns points toward Rewards certificates, and DSW frequently runs free shipping for VIP members. No activation, dormancy, or per-purchase fees apply.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a gift sleeve. $10 to $250 per card via dsw.com.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable in store or on dsw.com. $10 to $250 via dsw.com; $5 to $100 via Dyme.
You can apply more than one DSW gift card to a single order in store or online, and combine a gift card with DSW Rewards certificates and a credit card in the same transaction.

Can I get a DSW Everyday gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells DSW e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant delivery, plus DSW VIP points when you redeem. The discount channels are:
- Costco or Sam's Club, in store. Both clubs occasionally run multi-pack DSW gift cards below face value. Supply rotates and isn't always available. Physical only, membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Third-party sellers resell DSW cards a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
- DSW VIP and email promos. DSW frequently emails VIP members percent-off and bonus-points offers on merchandise. These apply to purchases, not to gift-card SKUs, but they compound with a gift card paid at checkout.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card on the purchase, DSW VIP points at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single DSW Everyday gift card purchase through Dyme.
Credit-card rewards
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses.
- Capital One Venture X: 2x miles on essentially every purchase, including gift cards
- Citi Double Cash: 2% back on everything (1% when you buy + 1% when you pay)
- Amex Gold: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 4x dining and 4x groceries do not apply
- Chase Sapphire Preferred: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 3x dining and 2x travel do not apply
DSW VIP
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: points per $1 on merchandise, tiered by VIP level
- Reward threshold: points convert to DSW Rewards certificates toward purchases
DSW VIP does not earn on the gift card purchase. It earns on the shoes and accessories when you redeem, at the same rate as paying with cash or a card. Link your VIP number at checkout to collect points.
Dyme Miles
- Base rate: 1 Mile for every dollar
- Special rate: 5 Miles per dollar
- Expiration: never
- Blackouts: none
- Redeem on: over 2 million hotels and 600 airline partners
$75 DSW e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed in store by a DSW VIP member
- Citi Double Cash: $1.50 back (2% of $75)
- DSW VIP at redemption: VIP points on the $75 of merchandise toward the next Rewards certificate
- Dyme Miles on the purchase: 75 Miles (1 per dollar), or 375 on a special offer (5 per dollar)
Illustrative only. Card rates, brand-program terms, and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

- Choose physical or e-gift, pick a design, and set the amount.

How to buy in store
Any DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse register sells physical gift cards. Tell the associate the amount, pay with cash or card, and walk out with the card. Loadable from $10 to $250 in whole-dollar amounts, usable in store and on dsw.com.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club periodically stock discounted DSW gift-card multi-packs; supply and pricing rotate. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger and Safeway carry $25, $50, and $100 DSW cards at face value, where you still earn grocery loyalty points and any fuel rewards on the purchase.
