Nordstrom is a fashion retailer that began in 1901 as a Seattle shoe shop and now sells online and in more than 350 Nordstrom, Nordstrom Local and Nordstrom Rack stores.
The savings that matter most sit in The Nordy Club, where status follows how much you spend, and in the Nordstrom card's approval offer.
Nordstrom is celebrating 125 years, and its departments cover women, men, kids, beauty, shoes, accessories, designer labels, home and gifts. Much of what sets it apart happens in the stores: shoppers can book personal styling, alterations, beauty and spa services, lingerie fittings, shoe care and baby gear help, and many locations have restaurants, bars and coffee spots such as Ebar.
The Nordstrom app shows a store map, scans barcodes for reviews and product details, sends alerts when wish-list items return or drop in price, and lets cardholders pay with a live QR code. The site also offers a Shop with AI assistant in beta with virtual try-on. Pete Nordstrom hosts The Nordy Pod, a company podcast released every other week, and the retailer runs its own advertising arm, Nordstrom Media Network.

Nordstrom card
Pay with it in store by showing a live QR code from the Nordstrom App Wallet.
The pages read for this page didn't show where Nordstrom puts its promo code box, so look for it in the bag or on the payment step before you submit.
Sign in to your Nordy Club account first, since status levels track your spend and the app shows where you stand.
The card offer on the site depends on approval for the Nordstrom card and also mentions Nordstrom Rack, so check which store a saving belongs to before you count on it.
Paying with the card at a register works through the Nordstrom App Wallet, where a live QR code stands in for the plastic.
