Keep reading for the best tips and tricks to shop Nordstrom’s biggest sale of the year and see some of our top picks for this year’s sale…


1. Know when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is happening.

When is Nordstrom Anniversary Sale happening? Nordstrom usually announces the date of its Anniversary Sale a few weeks before the actual start date, giving us plenty of time to prepare. This event typically begins in late July/early August.

In 2023, a preview to all the sales launched on July 3rd and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will be open to the general public on July 17th!

Nordstrom cardholders always get an invitation to start shopping the sale even earlier. So if you’re not already a cardholder you’ll want to make sure you apply before the next sale begins.


2. Shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale almost 2 weeks early if you’re a Nordy cardholder.

If you want early access to shop the biggest deals during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, become a Nordy cardholder. Exclusive to cardholders, Nordstrom opens its sale almost two weeks early, which means you’ll get first dibs on many of the items that will sell out fast. Sweet! 

And they’re giving you $40 in Nordy Cash just for making your first purchase! 😱

Nordstrom is currently offering a $40 Bonus Note when you make your first purchase using your new card on the same day you apply (no minimum required!) If approved, you’ll get to use your Nordy card immediately! 🤩

*Keep in mind that you must be approved for the Nordstrom credit card to receive the Bonus Notes.

Here are the perks to having a Nordy Card during the Anniversary Sale:


  • Start shopping almost 2 weeks before everyone else. (Read The Thread to find out more about how to shop the sale early.)
    • July 11th – Access starts for cardmembers with Icon status
    • July 12th – Access starts for cardmembers with Ambassador status
    • July 13th – Access starts for cardmembers with Influencer status
  • Score items that sell out during early access and won’t be restocked.
  • Earn 2 points (or more) per dollar depending on your cardholder status every time you shop at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, HauteLook, and Trunk Club. Plus earn 1 point per dollar anywhere Visa Credit Cards are accepted.
  • Get Bonus Notes (AKA – free money!) to spend on future purchases when you use your card.
  • Get free basic alterations on regular-priced items and other alteration benefits.
  • No annual fee! (Woohoo!)

Already a member?

During the last Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, there were rewards for everyone! If you’re already a Nordy Cardholder, you may also be able to expect a little Bonus Note in the mail before the 2023 event.

Last year, I hadn’t used my card at all and still received $10 to spend – valid until the last day of the sale! Slick move, Nordy. 😉 So keep your eyes peeled as the Anniversary Sale gets closer!

You can still shop like everyone else…

There’s no denying that this Nordstrom sale is great no matter how you shop, so if the credit card benefits and the ability to shop early aren’t your thing, then shopping the Public Sale will be your best bet!

Everyone can shop the sale when it opens to the general public in mid-July.

But keep in mind, if there’s a hot item you’ve got your eye on, chances are it’ll sell out early, so don’t say I didn’t warn ya! 😉 Even more notable, sale items return to their original price at the end of the sale, so you won’t want to hold off on your must-have purchases for too long!


3. Stock up on new fall items and save hundreds on luxury brands.

Historically, items hitting the sale rack range from summer clothes and home savings to first dibs on dreamy, new fall styles and some of the best workout clothes – all at deeply discounted prices. This year, there will also be tons of brands making their Anniversary Sale debut that have never gone on sale before like Birkenstock, Cotopaxi, Parachute, and more!

Even though it may be early, start your wish list far in advance and shop the sale as soon as it begins!

Here are some of the hottest deals you can shop this year:

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is also a great time to stock up on back-to-school kids’ clothes and stuff for the guys, too! 😍 We spotted awesome deals where jackets were 25-30% off!


4. Snag up to 60% OFF amazing-smelling candles and other home decor pieces.

My, oh my, how we LOVE candles and all things home! While we didn’t see the famous Capri candles on sale like in previous years, we still saw plenty of amazing deals on candles – up to 62% OFF!

Keep an eye out for discounted home decor, both online and in their home section! But be ready – the candles are always one of the first items to sell out fast


5. Score discounts on name-brand cosmetics and exclusive gift sets!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is also any beauty lover’s dream come true. This year there will be daily deals for beauty dropping each day of the sale – we’re already seeing up to 70% OFF!!! 🤩 Makeup and beauty items will sell out quickly, so don’t forget to check this section the moment the sale starts.

Luxury beauty brands often take this opportunity to launch special edition items and makeup kits too. These FLY off of the shelves every year, both in-store and online.


6. Score discounted Nordy’s gift cards and save up to 10% more during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

There are a few places you can score discounted gift cards to Nordstroms and using these cards at the Nordstrom sale is one way to save even more! Visit sites like CardCash and Raise.com. We’ve spotted CardCash offering Nordstrom gift cards for up to 8.6% off just this week!

You can also download the Raise app and purchase a discounted store gift card before the Nordstrom sale 2023 starts. We’ve seen Nordstrom gift cards go for up to 10% OFF your purchase! How does this work? Just buy a gift card at a discounted price, and then use it toward your in-store or online purchase. Easy peasy! 

Do NOT wait until July to scoop up your discounted gift cards from CardCash and Raise.com, though. They’ll frequently sell out of all their Nordstrom gift cards as shoppers prep for this sale.


7. Make a list and set a budget before the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts.

Make a list and check it twice!

Make a shopping game plan to get the most bang for your buck at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2023. 🙌 ✅

My advice? Take a peek in your closet and home to decide what you’re missing so you can determine which purchases are must-haves. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a great time to invest in staple pieces that you might not buy later at the regular price, but it’s also just as easy to overspend and get a little carried away (I’m speaking from experience here, people 😂).

Hip Tip: Speaking of staple pieces, check out how we’re helping people put together the perfect capsule wardrobe! We even have two printables to help you shop and put together outfits seamlessly!

And set a budget, too.

Just because items are marked 50% – 75% off doesn’t mean they’re in everyone’s budget (especially if you’re shopping for multiple items during the sale). Set your budget, and then decide what you absolutely can’t live without. Then, gather your willpower and put everything else back on the rack!


8. Don’t hesitate if you really want something.

Historically, the trendiest items that are at the top of most shoppers’ must-have lists WILL sell out and they’ll sell out fast. Almost 100% of the time, these items aren’t restocked during this Nordstrom sale 2023. Though backorders will be allowed during early access – another reason to consider becoming a Nordstrom cardholder is so you can grab your must-have items while they’re still in stock! If something you love is sold out, you can add it to your wishlist.

All that said, there’s nothing worse than having your heart set on something, only to find that it’s gone for good. This has happened to me multiple times, so don’t hesitate!
