Victoria’s Secret: Score 28 Secret Reward Cards Worth At Least $10 Each – No Purchase Required
Did you know that you CAN shop at Victoria’s Secret for FREE? 🙂 As I’ve mentioned a few times now, through March 28th, Victoria’s Secret is offering up a FREE Secret Reward Card with ANY $10 purchase. Consider snagging a couple Mists and Lotions currently on sale 2/$10 (regularly $18) to qualify for a FREE Secret Reward Card!
However, according to the official rules, did you know that you can actually score a Reward Card by mail WITHOUT making a purchase AND you can enter the promotion once per person/household/email address per day starting tomorrow, February 25th!?
To enter without making a purchase, simply hand-print your full name, billing address, valid email address, date and year of birth on a 4” x 6” piece of paper along with a handwritten self-addressed stamped envelope (best to use a #9 envelope for this), and mail it in a sealed envelope (best to use #10 size outer envelope) with postage to:
Victoria’s Secret Secret Reward Promotion
PO Box 139024
Dallas, TX 75313
Keep in mind that the outer envelope of General Access Mail-in Entry must be postmarked by March 28th, 2016, and received by April 4th, 2016 in order to be eligible. Once your fully completed eligible mail-in entry is received, you will be sent a Secret Reward Card by mail in approximately fifteen business days.
You can determine the value of your Secret Reward Card starting March 29th, 2016 by presenting the Secret Reward Card at a participating store, entering the Secret Reward Card number and PIN online or calling Victoria’s Secret toll-free at 1-800-270-8999.
AND, each card will be worth at least $10 BUT they could be worth as much as $20, $50, $100 or even $500! The reward cards will be valid to use from March 29th-April 27th in stores (excluding outlets), online, or by phone. Note that shipping and taxes do not count towards the $10 total needed to get your Secret Reward card.
SO if you start TOMORROW (February 25th) and send in 28 total envelopes through March 28th, you’ll get back 28 FREE Secret Reward cards each worth at least $10… that $280 worth of FREE items! SWEET! …AND you never know, you could be a $20, $50, $100, or even a $500 winner! 😀
I could not find size 9 envelopes in my local store so i bought size #6 which is 3 5/8 by 6 1/2. does anyone know if this would be acceptable?
I would mail in two #10 envelopes. I think the #6 envelopes are too small for the reward card to fit in.
Since the rules didn’t specify the envelope size this time, I just used regular envelopes (3 5/8 x 6 1/2) and folded the inner envelope and paper. At least that’s how I did the 1st 7 that I have ready to go. Do you think the reward card won’t fit in a regular envelope? Seems like they have sometimes changed the size of the cards and should have specified what size to use if that would be an issue.
I saw on another site that you can not use a regular envelope because the reward card does not fit, and they will not send. They recommended to use 2- #10 envelopes.
Does anyone know the measurements of the reward cards? Is it the width or length that were concerned about? I didn’t see anything in the official rules.
Just read on krazy coupon lady that the reward cards will not fit in the smaller envelope! : (
I mailed a small envelope inside my #10 today. Will change to a larger envelope tomorrow. HTH
FYI- looking at the official rules on the address it appears that you have to put (“General Access Mail-In Entry”) . I noticed on all of the mail in entries it ends with either that, (“PINK Nation Mail-in Entry”) or (“Angel Early Access Mail-in Entry”). You don’t want it turned down on a technicality.
Where would you put that wording? On the front of the envelope somewhere? Haha. I have never done this before
Yeah, where on the envelope do you write “General Access Mail In Entry”???
Where do you write the general part?!
I put that wording under Dallas, TX. Like where you would put Attn: Robert, etc.

Thank you NavyMom! I found Collin’s post 🙂
The rules now state you can’t combine the SRC with coupons. (New rule.)
It says there are 3 periods of entry. If you are an angel card holder can you still enter during this general time period?
period 1 was ONLY Angel card holders
period 2 was ONLY pink nation members
period 3 is everyone . . . so, YES, yes, you can still send away for them during Period 3 …. it is not excluding Angel Card holders OR Pink Nation members, it is saying EVERYONE can send them
Make sure you are putting your address TWICE on the return envelope.

Thank you Kristine Nelson for reiterating that because I forgot to put the return address on the return envelope until I read your post! I was able to get it from the mailbox & fix it before the mailman came to take it
Have people used 4 by 6 notecards for this and had success? TIA
Has anyone answered your question yet? I was wondering the same thing!
Nobody answered it. But I did find a “mini notepad” up and up brand at target that is 4by 6 paper! It’s perfect and was less than $2.
Make sure your’e putting your address TWICE on the self addressed envelope.

Okay I don’t know if my brain just can’t understand this because it’s the end of the day, but does this mean the envelope you send to be sent back to you should be self addressed and the return address should be your address too?
Yes.
Yes… That’s what it says. on their website.
I know it says handwritten but does anyone know if you can p print the information on the cards and envelopes
All must be handwritten.
I was also wondering this, because i can type up this and print copies to use every day. Handwriting it stinks. 🙂
I’ve never done VS reward cards before- can you use multiple cards on one purchase or does each card need to be used on a separate purchase?
That was my same question!
You can only use one card per purchase. In store they’ve allowed me to make multiple purchases though.
You can’t necessarily go by old rules. The rule of one per visit is a new rule! Keep in mind that many stores will stick to this so it may be hard to actually redeem all 28 cards.
The rule is one card per VISIT! Keep this in mind as it makes redeeming all 28 cards a bit more challenging.
I just got this same info from krazy coupon lady, you guys must share secrets !@! LOL
How many cards can be used per visit? And does it have to be over $10 or will less than $10 work?
One card per VISIT! (This verbiage is new in the rules this time.)
Do you guys think they are really going to send out one gift card PER DAY to people. I am a little skeptical and don’t want to risk wasting the stamps. What does everyone else think??
Yes. They did this in December. I got about 90% back. It is while supplies last though
Is a standard forever stamp sufficient return postage?
Yes
I did this promo in December, and only got rewards cards for one-third of the envelopes I sent out…and yes, they were all sent according to the terms.
Hello fellow Allison. 😄 Yes they actually do this. I got just under $300 worth of cards during Christmas. They changed the rules to make it a bit more difficult to do, but as long as you follow the rules, you will get a card. 👍
Remember, these aren’t actual gift cards! They have a ton of rules for redemption so they’re actually more like coupons.
Do you have to purchase more than $10 per card?
where are you finding the redemption exclusions? i read and re-read rules and looked all over VS website, and i could only find when the redemption period starts and ends, and that it can’t be used towards gift wrap or towards VS CC balance, past purchases, etc. the normal stuff…
isn’t this just like a coupon for $10 off ANY purchase that is $10 or more (excluding taxes, shipping, gift wrap)?
Can you send all in at once?
Can you send all at once?
No. Once per day
I didn’t take the rules to mean they want you to put your OWN address twice on the self addressed envelope? It just seems like they are reminding you to put proper postage and a “return address” meaning just in the one soot so they can send it to you. Why would they want you to put the same address twice. Idk I could be wrong. Directions aren’t very clear.
I thought this too, but the picture in the original post shows putting your address and your address again as the return address, so I guess that’s what we are suppose to do?
Yeah thats right i do mail in entry sweeps all the time and when is require a self addressed envelope they never require to put in your own address twice and I’ve never done it. Started mailing since pink nation and i only put address once.
Thank you. Just curious…what size envelopes have you been using for this promotion? I’m planning on using a #10 for both. Hopefully that’s ok
Rosana, Pink Nation was only 1day…. ONLY Feb 21 (postmarked Feb 22)
I believe they make you put your return address on the envelope they mail back out to you with the rewards card in it, Is because if it gets sent back for whatever reason, It just comes right back to you. No lost cards 🙂 Hope this makes sense!
That’s why I’m doing it anyway… I want to insure I get all my cards.
This may be stupid but couldn’t I put one in my mailbox everyday (minus Sunday) instead of going to the post office everyday?
Absolutely! There is no problem with doing that i did that the last time they did this. 🙂
This may be a silly question but couldn’t I just put one in my mailbox everyday (minus Sunday) instead of driving to the post office everyday???
Yes but you’re not guaranteed to have different postmarks as not everything gets cancelled as/when it should. (We have ALL received mail with no cancellation Mark, right?)
On the VS website for rules, etc it says that they will mail the rewards out excluding Saturday’s, Sunday’s and holidays…..if you have a postmark for Saturday, are they still going to count that?
that is when THEY are mailing them…. as in, their employees will be stuffing envelopes and sending them out Monday to Friday …. probably don’t have their people working Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays
On the 4×6 card, I did it like this:
Jill Smith
1234 Hill St.
Dayton, OH 12345
Email: xyz123@yahoo.com
D.O.B.: 01/01/1990
Do you think it’s ok that I wrote the words “email” and D.O.B. (date of birth)? I don’t really think it would matter but just wanted some feedback.
Thanks!
Do you have to be a member of pink nation or VS to qualify? Like, do they verify that your email address is in their system for you to get the card?
I am beyond excited about this. Prepped my envelopes last night. Can’t wait to spend!!!
It regards to the “one per visit”, I’m sure your family and friends would be forever grateful if you shared one with them. Plus, out of 28 cards, you’re likely to get something over $10 🙂
I got only $10 cards last time, but I was still excited – got 34 new pair of underwear for just the cost of stamps – woohoo
That is so fabulous!
I’m confuse on how you can send 28 of these? Do you send them all at once or day by day? All to the same address? Please let me know thanks!
Sandy, this is copied directly from Collin’s post:
“…you can actually score a Reward Card by mail WITHOUT making a purchase AND you can enter the promotion once per person/household/email address per day starting tomorrow, February 25th!?”
The official rules state to include the date and year of birth, so I’d include that and not just the year.
All eligible entrants who are residents of the US, PR and Canada may enter by mail during Period 3 without making a purchase by legibly hand-printing your full name, address, valid email address, and date and year of birth on a 4 x 6 piece of paper, and mailing it, along with a legibly handwritten, self-addressed, stamped envelope with sufficient return postage and a return address, including first and last name, street address, city, state and ZIP or postal code, both in a sealed outer envelope with proper postage to Victoria’s Secret Secret Reward Promotion, P.O. Box 139024, Dallas, TX 75313 (General Access Mail-In Entry). Outer envelope of General Access Mail-in Entry must be postmarked by March 28, 2016, and received by April 4, 2016 in order to be eligible.
https://www.victoriassecret.com/secret-rewards-official-rules
Agree, the post and the picture is wrong to say “year of birth”, when rule says, “…full name, address, valid email address, and date and year of birth…”
Does anyone know if the OUTSIDE envelope (with the Victoria’s Secret Address) also needs to be handwritten, or is it just the inside materials?
All handwritten
Where do we put: “General Access Mail-In Entry”
After their address like stated in the official rules?
Can I use an address stamp for the return address on the envelope?
I just read the rules… all hand-written. Got it!
What are the measurements of the No. 9 envelope that is being recommended.?
I couldn’t find #9 so I used #6 3/4 which is 3.63 X 6.5 in
Do you have to use 28 stamps for mailing it out and also another 28 stamps for the return mail?
Yes
It asks for your ‘full name’ should I include my middle name or just first and last? Thanks!!
I just did first and last
How much$$$ the self return stamp has to be?
Standard postage. I used a forever stamp
so can you send all 28 in one day? Or do you have to go to the Post Office DAILY?
One per day, so you’ll need to go daily.
ok great thanks.
Does anyone know if we can use mulitple cards on one purchase? For example my total is $23.14 can I use two $10 cards? Or is that against policy?
Not usually. Only one card per day.
How old do you have to be to register?
“The Promotion is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States (including the District of Columbia) (“US”), Puerto Rico (“PR”), and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are at least eighteen (18) years old and have reached the age of majority in their state, territory, or province of residence at the time of entry (19 in Alabama and Nebraska; 21 in Mississippi)”
Can the outer envelope be TYPED as long as all of the contents are HAND-WRITTEN? That’d sort of help the process (for me at least)! 🙂
It says “Mail-in entries, including both outer envelope and self-addressed, stamped envelope, must be handwritten.” So everything has to be written and in the rules there is something about not photocopying handwritten ones either.
THANK YOU so much, Rachel! I read “all the way” to Roman Numeral iii. and didn’t go to Roman Numeral v.! It’s so annoying when people don’t READ; and I became a culprit of not following my own standard. Thank God there are patient and helpful people in the world like YOU! 🙂 🙂 🙂
It says you can only use one card per purchase online or in store purchase. So if your cards were only worth $10, not sure if it would be worth it if you can’t combine unless you get one for a larger amount.
Gifts 😉
Has anyone used 4×6 notecards? Do you think they’re acceptable as long as everything is handwritten?
Exactly what i was wondering!!
Nat – have you found out yet?
Has anyone figured this out yet? It would be a lot easier to use the cards then cut up sheets of paper to that size.
Just a heads up: some rewards cards can be sent by email. So if you don’t receive all of your rewards cards via snail mail, make sure you’re checking your email/spam mailbox too!
Do the envelopes being sent to VS and the one you include to be sent to yourself have to be different t suze, can they be the same size envelope and be folded?
You can use the same size and fold the inside envelope.
Do you think one stamp is enough on the return envelope? Or should I put 2 on there.
1 is enough
If we leave them in out mailbox will they get postmarked?
I am wondering why Victoria Secret is now requiring the return envelope(s) as when they did this same promo in the fall the reward cards were emailed. Still a good deal.
I received 15 reward cards from the last promo, all were $10. I bought items that were $10 dollars and used one for each (just pay tax 8 cents for me), different transactions of course. The next day I went to another location and returned them all and got a gift card for $150. I was able to use the gift card for a bigger transaction. I had no issues with that and neither did the cashier!
Do they have to be postmarked on each entry day or can you send all at once?
I have a $10 off Victoria’s Secret Happy Birthday Angel card ex 2/29/2016, I would like to sell ( Paypal payment)
Any one interested? I will email code offer and certificate number. Online use expires 0n 2/ 29 and I won’t have enough time to ship.
not valid on clearance. Please email me if interested at aspencandy@hotmail.com
Can both my sister and I do this? We both live at the same address.
Once you get your card/code, when do they expire?
I did this at Christmas by mail and they emailed me my cards. I did not do a self addresses envelope but maybe this is a new thing.
I did this promotion too but I didn’t get all the cards in mailed out 😭
I spoke to someone from VS. The lady I talked to said to mail it to
Victoria’s Secret Reward Promotion
P.O. Box 139024
Dallas, TX 75313
(“General Access Main-In Entry”)
she said to write that as the mailing address on the envelope exactly like that.
Also, she said index cards are ok to use in place of “a 4×6 piece of paper”
Hope that helps clear up the “general access main-in entry” thing. She did say that needed to be on the front of the envelope with the mailing address.
That being said…. the USPS website says not to put anything after the city, state, zip b/c the machine reads it from the bottom up and anything after could delay, confuse or return the envelope…. hmmm… I may put it after the first like and see how that goes? any input ladies? haha
I did this exact promo back in November-December 2015 when they had it and I sent it it religiously everyday. I got emails with the Angel card and codes but unfortunately I only got like 4 or 5 the most when I spent all that time, money and stamps sending them out. I don’t even know if it’s worth doing it again.
I just put it in my mailbox and didn’t think anything of it until I just read all the comments about others concerned about needing it to be dropped off at the post office. I will never make it to the post office so if I can only do mailbox Im wondering if it will be a waste of my $/time. Thoughts?
That should work fine. Your mailman takes the mail he gathers to the post office and it’s cancelled that same day. I work at the P.O.
Thank you Renee!!!
