I feel like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has become an internet meme over the years. Every summer, you probably start seeing a ton of posts about influencers’ favorite picks from the sale. But the hype really is there, with incredible deals on brand new items.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is actually a really great time to stock up on basics for fall and winter or items that you really need.
The 2023 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale dates are July 17th to August 6th. The online preview has started. If you are a Nordstrom cardholder, your access begins based on your cardholder tier.

WHY SHOP THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE?
As I mentioned above, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale really is one of the only sales that lives up to the hype. Most stores run sales when there is a surplus in products that they ordered and they need to clear it out before the next season’s new arrivals get there.
The #NSALE is actually a sale on new products for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. It’s a preview of everything new, meaning it’s a great time to stock up on back-to-school clothes, new work wear, or great new wardrobe staples.
But it’s not just clothing. There are also awesome sales on beauty, home, and other accessories. Some of my favorite clothing brands to shop for during the sale are Madewell, Barefoot Dreams, UGG, and Zella. For those interested in beauty deals, they have sales on Supergoop!, Kiehls, Laura Mercier, Living Proof, T3, and Nécessaire. Béis Travel even has some items in the sale this year! And don’t skip out on the home sales. I just found a ton of wood serving boards on sale and Great Jones has items on sale as well.
Tips for shopping the #nsale
One of the number one tips for shopping the sale is really just planning ahead. Don’t wait until you get access to start looking at what is available. Nordstrom has made it super handy to look and plan ahead by releasing its catalog. You can start with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2023 catalog which will be available to preview online on June 29th. This will help you get an idea of what’s on sale and budget accordingly.
Get the Nordstrom Card for early access!
The pre-sale takes place from July 11th through the 16th of 2023. This special shopping time is specifically for Nordstrom cardholders. I typically don’t like having store credit cards, but the Nordstrom card really makes it worth it. I have the Nordstrom Visa card and it’s been great thus far. You can apply for the Nordstrom card here. If you don’t have a Nordstrom card, you’ll still have the chance to shop, but it doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to shop for everything that is originally listed in the preview. Not everything is restocked between the early access shopping period and the general sale access, which is why I actually recommend getting the card.
Nordstrom recently updated their cardholder levels to Icons, Ambassadors, and Influencers. Your level will depend on your annual spending. Another bonus is that your card can be used at Nordstrom Rack & Trunk Club and you get 3 points per dollar spent at Nordstrom! Here’s a breakdown of the tiers and the shopping dates:
Create a Wishlist
Remember, I said that the number one tip for the #NSALE is to plan ahead. Wish Lists are the best way to do this. Because Nordstrom makes the catalog available for preview ahead of when the sale begins, you also have the ability to save items to your wish lists.
I’ve created a separate wish list specifically for this year’s sale to easily go back once my shopping tier begins and add to my cart without stressing about remembering the name of a product. I love that wish lists sync on the web browser version of Nordstrom AND on the Nordstrom app, making it easy to keep up with what is in stock or add additional items as I continue browsing.
Shop online AND on the app
I typically place at least one order using my desktop browser. This is really because I can pair my savings from the Nordstrom sale with Rakuten. Using Rakuten, I get cash back by placing an order with the Google Chrome plug-in activated. Just another way to save more. You can sign up here and start getting cash back when you shop online today!
But if you’re looking for true ease, the Nordstrom App is a great way to place quick orders. It’s super simple to use and you can set up your payment method and your shipping address ahead of time.
Shop in store
If you’ve ever shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale before, you probably know that things sell out quickly online. It can be frustrating. But if you’re looking for another way to find that one thing that you really wanted, you can always head to your local Nordstrom store. Plus, if you decide to place an order online, you can do store pick up and easily walk in and out.
Check and see if your local store has extended hours while the sale is going on.
