Every summer, Nordstrom rolls out its highly-anticipated Anniversary Sale, offering rare markdowns on brand-new fall fashion, beauty, home, and lifestyle items before they officially hit shelves for the season.

Here’s when you can start shopping Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, depending on your Nordy Club Cardholder status: 

Do I Need to Be a Nordstrom Member to Shop the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

No, you don’t need to be a Nordstrom member to shop the Anniversary Sale once it opens to the public on July 12—everyone is welcome to score the limited-time deals. That said, Nordstrom cardmembers enjoy a major advantage: Early Access, beginning as early as July 8, depending on your Nordy Club status. By signing up for a Nordstrom credit card, you’ll automatically receive Influencer status, giving you early entry to the sale and a better shot at snagging the most-wanted items before they sell out. Cardmembers also earn points on every purchase, including Anniversary Sale orders, and unlock additional benefits like free basic alterations, bonus point events, and exclusive offers throughout the year.

How to Apply for a Nordstrom Credit Card

Applying for a Nordstrom credit card is simple—just head to Nordstrom.com and follow the application instructions. Based on your credit qualifications, you may be approved for a Nordstrom Visa Signature or Visa Platinum card. If you don’t qualify for a Visa option, you may still be eligible for a Nordstrom retail credit card, which offers the same Nordy Club perks and Early Access to the Anniversary Sale. With many shoppers looking to score early entry ahead of the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, we recommend submitting your application as soon as possible to ensure you’re ready to shop like a VIP when Early Access begins on July 8.
