Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is unlike any other typical sale or clearance because for a limited time, brand-new Fall and Summer styles are offered at seriously discounted prices.  This isn’t your typical sale because all of the items are brand new for the upcoming season.  They have never been sold before and are heavily discounted (40-75% off) for a couple of weeks, before prices go back up to normal when the sale closes.

When is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018?

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018 is from July 20-August 5.  However, Nordstrom cardholders can get exclusive early access to shop sale items early starting on July 12.  Shop the sale as soon it goes live from this link.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018 Key Dates:

• July 12, 2018 at 12:01 a.m. PST: Early Access Begins for Nordstrom Cardholders
• July 20, 2018 at 12:01 a.m. PST: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to everyone

How do I get Early Access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

In order to shop during the Early Access period, you must have a Nordstrom retail or VISA card.  The retail card allows you to use the card exclusively at Nordstrom stores, while the Visa card can be used anywhere (including Nordstrom) just like a regular credit card.  Neither have annual fees, and both allow you to accumulate points for every dollar spent that add up to Nordstrom Notes (gift cards).  And when you sign up, you get a $40 Note with your first purchase!

Apply now for the Nordstrom Card HERE, so that you can have it in time to shop the Anniversary Sale during Early Access.

How to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale:

The best way to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018 is online!  Not only do they have a much larger selections than the stores can carry, but they offer free shipping and returns.  If you don’t want to wait for your items to come in the mail, you can shop online and select in-store pick-up.  That way you can pick your items up on the same day!  Most stores offer curbside delivery, so you don’t have to find parking or even leave your car to pick up your order.

Be sure to mark your calendars for July 12th, and SHOP EARLY becuase things sell out so incredibly fast.. Every year we are shocked at how fast the best items go.  My motto during the sale is buy now, return later because they offer free returns and the chance you’ll be able to find an item in-stock (and in your size) later on is not very good!

What to buy during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018:

Since the sale features all new products with a focus on the upcoming Fall season, it’s the best time to stock up on Fall items that won’t be on sale in a few months.  My personal favorite things to purchase during the Anniversary Sale are booties, cardigans, designer jeans, and handbags.  These items are high on most shopper’s priority list and they sell out the quickest!

Here are some of last year’s best sellers to help you get an idea of the things to look for this Anniversary Sale:

• Leith Circle Cardigan
• AG Legging Ankle Jean
• Raw Edge Side Slit Tee
• Leith Suede Moto Jacket
• Topshop Stripe Colorblock Cardigan
• Vince Camuto Fileana Bootie
• Moonlight Short Pajama Set
