How to shop the 2024 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
- Apply for a Nordstrom card now to take advantage of this sale before anyone else is able to shop.
- Nordstrom cardholders gain admittance to the “Early Access” period of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, allowing cardholders to shop the sale before anyone else!
- Many hot items sell out during the Early Access period, so it is crucial to shop during this time if you want the best items at the steep discounts.
- Both Nordstrom credit and debit cardholders gain admittance to the Early Access period.
- The Early Access period is broken into tiers based on spending level.
More on the Nordstorm Anniversary Sale’s Early Access
Early Access is broken down further by the level or tier you reach as a Nordy Club Nordstrom cardholder. Nordy Club tiers include Icon (formerly known as level 4), Ambassador (formerly known as level 3), Influencers (formerly known as Level 2) and Insiders (formally Level 1) .
Nordstrom Card Icons receive even more Nordy Club perks than anyone, including being the very first cardholders to shop the Early Access period of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Nordstrom card tiers depend on how much you spend on your Nordstrom card.
When you are approved for a Nordstorm card and gain admittance to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale’s Early Access period, you can shop in-store and online!
Here is this year’s schedule:
More #NSale Tips & Tricks
Tips and Tricks to Shop the NSale
Tip 1: Buy more, regret nothing.
We came up with this motto a few years ago and after the sale, you all said it made all the difference. Now let me clarify- this does not mean you need ALL THE THINGS. It means that you buy what you LOVE and decide what to keep and return once you get it.
It’s basically like backwards budgeting. The reason I say this is because let’s say you pick item A over item B to stay within your budget. Item A comes and it either sucks or it doesn’t fit. Now you realize item B is the way to go and guess what? SOLD OUT. Don’t let it happen to you (I have the DMs from last year to prove it happens!)
So when you see something on Instagram or Instagram Stories- click and BUY! NO wishlists, no carts, no waiting until lunch. You can always return it, but more on that in the next tip.
Tip 2: Take advantage of easy returns.
A few of you shared that you have to drive miles to deal with returns. Did you know USPS comes to my door to pick up my prepaid returns? Nope, not kidding. You can check if this is available on the USPS app and click on SCHEDULE A PICKUP. Buy more, regret nothing.
Tip 3: Don’t be TOO stingy.
Hear me out. There will be a million different tee shirts available to choose from. Last year everyone went for the cheapest one and you know what happened? They needed to be hand washed or dry cleaned. They washed terribly. Over here in the Sunset Squad though, I told everyone to splurge the extra $5 for these tees that will last you for YEARS. Sometimes, the few extra dollars will pay off in spades.
Tip 4: Don’t make a list- well kind of.
If you do decide to make a list, make it a general one. What KINDS of pieces do you swear by? Booties? Cardigans? Basics like skinny jeans and tees? Once you have categories you have starting points and can see if what you love fits into the parameters you’ve set. In the 25 minutes you spend searching “brown suede moto jacket” the other perfect winter jacket you didn’t know you needed sold out. For the record though, this moto jacket is HIGH on my list this year.
Tip 5: The basics always win.
From what I’ve seen this year, the handbags leave a lot to be desired- so let’s skip those. I’d plan your budget around basics like tees and henleys like this one, cardigans, and joggers. The shoes are also on POINT so I will definitely be investing in a pair or two.
Shipping can be delayed, so buy online and select In-Store pick up as your shipping option if you have a Nordstrom store in your area. Keep an eye for a full post of tips and tricks come soon!
