DSW Rewards Program Review

So, another rewards program that I've been loving is the one offered by DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse! I signed up about two months ago now, and just for signing up I received a $5 certificate in the mail! Having also signed up for e-mail updates with the rewards program, I received a $10 certificate as well, which I used to buy a very pretty pair of heels for Easter.
        The program is one of the simplest to join. All you have to do is enter your basic information and you're in! After you sign up, you can either have a DSW Rewards card mailed to you or you can get it on your smartphone or you can have it looked up by phone number. I chose to have it mailed, because who doesn't feel fashionable pulling out a rewards card while shopping?
         How it works: you either get 5 or 10 points for every dollar spent. Every regularly priced purchase gets you 10 points per dollar while every clearance-priced item gets you 5 points per dollar. Rewards members get double points twice a year giving you either 10 or 20 points per dollar during the double points period, and for every 1,500 points you earn, you'll receive a $10 certificate! Also, on your birthday you get a $5 certificate! If you are a Premier Status rewards member, you'll get a $10 certificate, and all rewards members get free shipping on their online purchases of $35 or more, which could save you at least $6-$7 with no shipping.
        Premier Status members get 50% more points, triple points twice a year instead of just double points, and free next-day shipping! That just can't be beat! To reach Premier Status, you have to get at least 6,000 points in one consecutive year (January 1-December 31). That means you've got to spend around $600 to reach Premier Status, but the points sure do add up because you receive points for every purchase, not just on shoes!
        I'm already loving this program, and I've only been a member for two months! I would definitely consider this program one of the best I've seen so far for a retailer, and I must say, I'll be shopping much more often at DSW in the future!
