When is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? 

Early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started Saturday, July 9 for all Nordstrom cardmembers. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will open to everyone July 15, 2022.

The 2022 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends Sunday, July 31. So even if you don’t get early access, you’ll have more than two weeks to save big and take advantage of all the great deals. 

How to shop Nordstrom Anniversary Sale deals early

To save big at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale before it opens to the general public, you need to be a Nordstrom card holder (aka a Nordy Club member). If you don’t already have a Nordstrom credit card, there’s still time to sign up. Applicants can start shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale the same day they get approved.

There are two types of Nordstrom cards you can sign up for: a retail credit card and a Visa credit card. Both cards offer the same Nordstrom benefits, including early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and points for every dollar spent on either card. First-time card holders can even get a $60 bonus when they sign up.

“It’s not going to rattle any windows, but the bass coming out of this thing is a lot better than I expected,” an Amazon reviewer writes. “I was expecting it to be tinny like most small speakers.”
