Which shoe stores give birthday rewards? DSW, Famous Footwear, Rack Room Shoes, Journeys, and Shoe Carnival are among the stores that give a birthday reward or discount. DSW's VIP birthday reward is a favorite. This page lists every one we track.
Is the birthday shoe reward really free? It's usually a dollar reward or discount you apply to a purchase rather than a free pair outright. Each brand's page spells out the terms.
When should I sign up? Join the rewards program and add your birthday a couple of weeks ahead so the reward is ready in time. Some tiers require you to reach a spending level first.
Do these renew every year? Yes - the birthday reward comes back every year as long as your account stays active.
