Admin Shoe lovers, clear a little time tomorrow: DSW is handing out FREE Mystery Cards at every store on Saturday, October 24, and you don’t have to buy a thing to get one. Inside each card is a surprise — and 240 of them nationwide are hiding a $250 DSW gift card.
When and where
This is a one-day, in-store-only event: Saturday, October 24, 2026, at any DSW store. Cards are handed out while supplies last, and popular stores will run out — plan to go early rather than late in the day.
What’s inside the cards
Every card wins something. The prize lineup includes a $250 DSW gift card (hidden in 240 cards nationwide, though not every store will get one), a free Imbox Spray (in 6% of cards), a $5 DSW bonus card (in 18% of cards), plus fun freebies like drink sleeves and phone accessories. You open your card in the store to reveal the prize, then redeem it in-store the same day before closing — unless your card says otherwise. Limit one card per customer.
How to get yours
Use DSW’s store locator to find the location nearest you, stop in on October 24, and ask for your free Mystery Card. Open it right there in the store to see what you won. No coupon code, no app, no purchase required.
