Today begins the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale online preview. This is new for Nordstrom and today you can browse all the products and begin saving items to your wishlist. Today I want to talk all about Nordstrom Anniversary Sale’s Early Access. This is an exclusive pre-sale for Nordstrom cardholders to shop the sale before anyone else.
It’s a big deal because the product often sells out BEFORE it opens to the public. I know that sucks to hear, but it is what it is! So that’s why today’s post is an important one if you don’t want to miss these hot deals!
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access is a pre-sale. You can shop in-store or online for these deals starting July 11th until July 16th. You get first dibs on the product which typically includes exclusive items made specifically for this sale. Stock up now for your fall and winter wardrobe and also on closet essentials! Nordstrom has done a good job too over the years of including items you can wear today.
How To Get Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access
To get early access you only need to have the Nordstrom credit card. You can easily apply HERE to get it. Nordstrom gives early access to cardholders to shop the epic Anniversary Sale before anyone else.
I personally love my Nordstrom Visa card. You get 3 points for every dollar spent in store including Nordstrom Rack. And 1 to 2 points for every dollar spent elsewhere (depending on level and category). The more points you get, the more Nordstrom Notes you get! Which is free cash to spend at Nordstrom!
Plus, each level of spending comes with more great benefits. Depending on your level, you could earn more Double Points days (I always recommend making your main Nordstrom Anniversary Sale day your double points day) to free basic alterations and early access to shopping and more!
Depending on your status, you’ll have different days where you can shop early. Below are the Early Access Nordstrom Anniversary Sale dates.
PLUS, right now you can get $40 in Nordstrom Notes the day you’re approved! Restrictions Apply*

Benefits of Shopping Early Access
The number one benefit to shopping early is getting the great stuff you want before it sells out. I recommend shopping first thing when the sale opens at 3:00am EST. I also really like shopping in store early since it’s all organized and confined to sections throughout the store. This way you know exactly what’s on sale. I also just prefer shopping in store, I’m old school that way!
When Does Nordstrom Early Access Start and End
The Nordstrom Early Access begins on July 11th in store for Icons Nordstrom cardholders ONLY. On July 13th 2023, ALL Nordstrom cardholders no matter your level, will be able to shop online and in-store at 3:00am EST.
To shop online, you’ll need to login to your Nordstrom account to verify that you have a Nordstrom card. If you’re an avid shopper, you probably already have this setup. But I recommend making your account so you don’t have to deal with it the day of.
Then, you can also shop in-store. Just show your card to a sales associate to be able to go “behind the curtain” to shop.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Early Access ends on July 16th and opens to the public for everyone to shop on July 17th.
If you do not have a card, you can still browse online, but you won’t be able to checkout. I still recommend browsing so you can create a wishlist and figure out what you want since there’s quite a bit of inventory to get through! It will make July 17th easier and faster so you can make sure you get what you want!
My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks
Since the catalog just launched, I wanted to share a few of my favorite things I’m eyeing. The things I love to shop are truly the basics from this sale. Great shoes, boots, athletic wear, my go to undies that I always stock up on. Perfectly priced sweaters and 9-5 basics as well as beauty buys. There’s a lot to sift through! Here’s what I’m eyeing.

Sweaters + Fall Favorites + Layers
The main things to buy at the Nordstrom Anniversary Early Access sale are all things fall and winter. From sweaters to light layers, blazers and so on. Sweaters can be expensive and this is a great time to stock up on some basics that can be great for the office, to more trendy or casual ones for the weekend. There are quite a few great blazers and suede and leather jackets that are on sale. These are items I live in, come fall and winter.
Coats & Jackets
Other essentials for this sale to shop are coats and jackets. Sure you may not need them right this second, but come October and November when you’re ready to invest in a coat and everything is either sold out or expensive, you’ll be thanking me then! I almost always pick up a great coat from this sale.
Whether you go trendy to add something interesting to your wardrobe for the season, or go more classic like a Patagonia or North Face, there’s a wide variety of options to shop here.
Shoes, Shoes, Shoes
Nordstrom is just known for a great shoe department. And fun fact, I used to work in shoes there! Whether you’re picking up new work heels, or boots, now’s the time to snag them! There’s almost always a handful of great knee high or over the knee boots to scoop up at a great price.
I’m grabbing these Marc Fisher boots, a total classic. And my Veronica Beard clogs are on sale here. And this year is no different! I’m also wanting these New Balance that I 100% had in high school. I’ll also take these with the green and cream, so cute!
Beauty
Something I rarely shop for is their beauty section. But this year there are actually quite a few products that I use on the regular that is part of the big sale.
Things I’ve Owned & Loved
Every year there are many favorites that come back in new colors or prints. Or just some brands will run a great special on a staple. These are the items I have bought, loved and would highly recommend. Plus, I bought this Ugg blanket a few months back and it’s now on sale! It’s so cozy, makes for a great gift too.
