Important Details to Know for the 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The Details YOU NEED TO KNOW

WHAT is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know about the 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the best sale that Nordstrom has every year and is divided up into two different sections- early access and public access. Early access lets some members shop the sale early, and public access is when everyone gets access to the sale! This is one of the only sales you can shop for BEFORE a season starts- which is it’s so fabulous!  It’s not picked over, left over items – it’s ready for the upcoming season stuff! 

And possibly, most importantly, The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has special deals from all your favorite designers and brands so it’s a perfect time to stock up on all your wardrobe staples and more!

HOW to Prepare for the 2021 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

If you want to shop the sale early, make sure you are a Nordstrom cardholder so that you can shop early access. Being a Nordstrom cardholder means you get to use the great rewards and you get to shop the sale early. If you apply for a Nordstrom card before the sale begins and you’re approved, you’ll get a Nordstrom Note, aka a rewards certificate or gift card, if you spend $100 on the day you are approved. If you’re not currently a cardholder, I’d recommend you sign up for a card on the day of the sale and use this immediately! There’s no annual fee for the card, and for every $1 you spend at Nordstrom you receive 2 points. Become a cardholder so you can get all the best deals and shop, shop, shop!

If you’re already a Nordstrom cardholder, you can check your status on the Nordstrom website to see when you can start shopping the anniversary sale. Being a cardholder also means you get perks like alterations, same-day delivery on certain items, and more. Plus, you get to shop early for the anniversary sale, which means you’ll have first dibs on everything you want!

How to Preview the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 

Just like last year, Nordstrom is letting people preview the sale online. Which is awesome! This lets you see what’s on sale, you can add things to your wishlist, and means you’ll be ready for the sale when you’re finally able to shop! Nordstrom is opening up the preview of the sale online July 6. This gives you plenty of time to shop the sale and figure out what you wanna buy! Even if you’re a cardholder, this gives you even more time to plan your buys. And make shopping on the day of the sale easier and faster. I blocked out my calendar for Tuesday, so I can peruse the entire sale (both for myself (haha) and for you guys too. Continue reading to see how I’m gonna help you with your Nordie Sale shopping…
