The is a big deal because of the deep discounts on brand new merchandise.  Typically when you want to buy an item on sale, you have to wait until it’s been on the market for several weeks before it is marked down.  The merchandise in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is FALL stuff, put on sale in the summer, BEFORE the fall season even starts.  Many of the items are so popular they will never hit store shelves after the sale, so your one chance to get your hands on them is at this sale…and they are up to 40% off.

Is Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access, Signing up for a Nordstrom Card, Really Worth It?

If you are a Nordstrom fan, then signing up for a is ABSOLUTELY worth it…in my opinion.  I do NOT open credit cards on a whim…I use one card for everything and never sign up for store cards…and I didn’t sign up for a Nordstrom card until just last year.   I know…shocker.  I signed up for the debit card because I didn’t want to have another credit card.  I love that it gives me all of the perks of the credit card, without the hassle of paying a bill at the end of the month, risking a late payment if I forget etc.  Why did I get it?  Two reasons…

  1. FOR THE EARLY ACCESS TO THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE.  Yep, seriously.  I didn’t realize this for awhile, but TONS of the sale items, never make it past the early access part of the sale.  They sell out.  Yep.  What the general public sees at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is often just a fraction of what was originally on sale.  There is such a frenzy around these great deals that a huge number of items are sold out and never available again.  Crazy!  I realized that if I wanted to actually get my hands on the hot items, I needed to be one of those early access shoppers.
  2. For the perks and rewards that they give their card holders.
