Class members who submit a timely, valid claim form will receive a cash payment, which is expected to be $70 per person. This amount may decrease depending on how many valid claims are filed, the settlement website says.

According to the settlement website, DSW settlement payouts will be distributed only after the deal is granted final approval from the court and any appeals are resolved. A final approval hearing is set for July 31, 2025.

The initial class action lawsuit alleged DSW and Designer Brands violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act by sending spam texts to thousands of consumers without consent. The case claimed the retailers “bombarded” individuals with texts even after being asked to stop.
