If you’re looking to get in on the best deals before they sell out, a little strategy is required. To make navigating the sale easier, we’re breaking down everything you need to know. We’ll take you through the basics of explaining what the sale is, when it takes place, who gets to shop when, and what deals you can expect, so you can be ready.
What Is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
You can think of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale as the retailer’s version of Black Friday, and like Black Friday, this sale only happens once a year. Everyone can join in on the sale from July 15 through August 4, but card members can get early access with three different tiers of start dates for the sale. Icons can shop from July 9 through July 14, ambassadors can shop July 10 through July 14, and influencers can shop July 11 through July 14.
