WHAT’S ON SALE THIS YEAR?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of the best sales of the year because Nordstrom heavily discounts brand-new, newly released items for Fall (rather than off-season items). They also discount premium items that otherwise never go on-sale.

WHAT IS THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE?
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a sale like no other, a limited-time opportunity to save big on brand-new arrivals—plus all the essentials. NSale is THE SALE to find deep discounts on new trend-setter items for the upcoming Fall season. It’s not a “clearance sale,” liquidating old inventory or last year’s styles. Instead, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is where Nordstrom customers can enjoy outstanding savings on the most exciting new fall merchandise, along with plenty of stuff for summer and your home.
“This is a one-of-a-kind event where you’ll find amazing deals on clothing, shoes, handbags, accessories, jewelry, cosmetics, fragrances, home goods and more.”
WHEN DO YOUR NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE 2021 POSTS GO LIVE?
My 2021 content will go live early July as I preview my picks. I’ll have posts throughout the month as I shop the sale.
Make sure you’re following me on Instagram and the LiketoKnow.it App!
DO I NEED A PROMO CODE FOR THE SALE?
No. There is no promo code required. The sale is available to all customers, but some customers will be given exclusive early access to the sale.
SHOULD I SHOP IN-STORE OR ONLINE?
The is sale is very popular and the stores will be very busy. I always recommend shopping online first for the best selection. In addition to free shipping and free returns, Nordstrom also offers curbside pickup, expedited shipping, same-day delivery (for select areas), and even international shipping.
I personally shop online and do curbside pick up when/if necessary.
WHERE IS THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE CATALOG?
The paper catalog is here, but you can preview the full items once the sale goes live.
WHAT IS EARLY ACCESS?
Early Access offers Nordstrom cardholders exclusive access to shopping the sale. Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 Early Access dates are from July 12 through July 27 before the sale opens to the general public on July 28. It’s the best time ensure the best items are still in stock. If you’re not a cardholder, I recommend it as it has plenty of other perks.
HOW DO I GET EARLY ACCESS?
Early access to the sale is available to all Nordstrom cardmembers automatically. Access is available to all card levels and card types. If you don’t have a card, you’ll need to sign-up for a Nordstrom credit card by July 27. See below.
HOW DO I GET A NORDSTROM CARD?
Nordstrom offers two types of cards, the retail card or Visa Signature card. Both cards provide the same Nordstrom benefits, including early access to the sale. However, Visa Signature cardholders will earn additional Nordstrom points with any purchase using the card. Applying is easy and you can start shopping instantly, if approved.
Why apply:
- Early Access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (which is huge!)
- If approved, you can sign in to access your card online and start shopping right away.
- Earn 2 points per dollar spent in stores and online at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, HauteLook and Trunk Club.
- Plus, get a $20 bonus Note when you spend $100 at Nordstrom with your new Nordstrom card the day you’re approved.
- Enjoy the benefits of being a Nordstrom cardholder.
- No annual fee
- 24/7 Nordstrom Customer Service
To sign up, visit this link and click Apply Now to submit your application. The application is pretty easy and the approval process only takes a few seconds. You’ll be shopping Early Access in no time.
