A staple when it comes to department stores, Nordstrom is known for offering top brand options in apparel, shoes, handbags, beauty and more. It’s also known for providing plenty of ways to drive down the costs of those luxury goods.
If you’re a frequent Nordstrom shopper, here are 19 ways to save at Nordstrom.
Take stock of all the goodies available in the sales section of the Nordstrom site before clicking on anything else. You’ll find great deals on stuff for men, women and kids, not to mention home and trend goods.
Stock up on free samples of the products you’re dying to try before dishing out lots of cash for the whole item. Each online or in-store beauty or grooming purchase comes with three free samples, so pick wisely.
Get the Nordstrom store credit card or debit card and earn two points per every dollar spent online or in stores, plus a $20 bonus note when you spend $100 at Nordstrom with your card the day you’re approved. There is no annual fee, but be sure to check out the APR information and read all the fine print before applying. Be sure to check your credit, too, so you know whether you can handle an inquiry. (You can view two of your credit scores for free on Credit.com.)
The Nordstrom Visa Platinum and Visa Signature cards provide all the same benefits as the regular Nordstrom retail card, but you’ll also earn one point per every dollar spend everywhere else that Visa credit cards are accepted. You can find a full review of Nordstrom’s credit card right here.
You’ll earn two points per every dollar spent online when you use your Nordstrom card at Nordstrom Rack, HauteLook and Trunk Club, as well.
Nordstrom’s biggest sale of the year is their Anniversary Sale, and it generally kicks off every July. If you can wait, you’ll score major deals on all kinds of goodies, and Nordstrom cardholders get early access before it opens to the public.
Join the Nordstrom Rewards program for free by providing your name, email and phone number and you’ll earn one point for every dollar you spend at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack and HauteLook. You’ll earn extra points by shopping on bonus days, too, and for every 2,000 points you earn, you’ll receive a $20 Nordstrom Note, good to spend on absolutely anything.
Provide your info to receive Nordstrom emails and you’ll never miss another upcoming sale.
Skip the regular Nordstrom store and site and head over to Nordstrom Rack, where you’ll find many of the same great items at deep discounts every day.
Check out Nordstrom Rack’s clearance section for even more savings on the already marked-down items.
HauteLook is another Nordstrom property, with luxury brands available at up to 70% off retail.
View your Nordstrom Rewards points and use your Nordstrom Notes anytime directly from the free Nordstrom app for iPhone, iPad and Android, and load the Nordstrom Rack app on your phone as well for access to the newest markdowns and clearance items. HauteLook also has an app that’ll help you shop exclusive, limited-time sale events from anywhere.
Do a quick Google search or use sites like Retail Me Not, Groupon and Coupons.com to find promo codes to use when shopping at Nordstrom.com.
Catch up on all the sales and promotions when you follow Nordstrom on their social sites, like Facebook and Twitter. (Follow Nordstrom Rack and HauteLook as well, to be sure you really get access to all the sales that Nordstrom has to offer!)
Use sites like Gift Card Granny to score Nordstrom gift cards at major discounts.
Nordstrom offers $20 in rewards when you refer a friend who then opens a credit or debit account with them.
Check back with Nordstrom.com for opportunities to win gift cards or discounts when you leave product reviews on the site.
Nordstrom offers a price match guarantee when you find the same item in stock for cheaper at a competing store.
Nordstrom will adjust the price for you on items that go on sale within two weeks of your order date. You can find more about the price-match and sales adjustment policies here.
