Nordstrom‘s biggest shopping event of the year has begun: the Anniversary Sale. The annual event is known for offering some of the steepest discounts on top brands and designers, but if you want a good haul, shopping early is a must. The good news? There’s a way to get access to the Anniversary Sale before it opens to everyone. Ahead, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know, including the 2026 sale dates, early access tiers, shopping tips, and the best deals to help you score the biggest savings.
When is the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
The 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts on July 18 and ends on August 9, though cardmembers can shop even earlier.
When is early access for the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
Cardmember Early Access will take place in three waves, with the highest tier, Icons, getting first dibs. Ambassadors and Influencers will follow, and the sale opens to the general public after all three tiers have a go at the deals.
- Cardmember Early Access:
- Icons July 14–17
- Ambassadors July 15–17
- Influencers July 16–17
- Everyone! July 18–August 9
How can I shop the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale early?
If you want to get a head start as early as July 14, you must have a Nordstrom card and use it at checkout to receive Anniversary Sale deals during the Early Access period. BTW, It’s not too late to apply to become a Nordstrom credit card member!
Might I add that the retailer is currently running a special offer: New cardmembers can score $60 off their next purchase through August 9 (AKA when the Anniversary Sale ends).
How do I get a Nordstrom credit card?
Choose between two cards: the retail credit card and a Visa credit card. Both offer the same benefits, but remember you will be subject to credit approval regardless of which option you choose. And if you don’t qualify for a Visa credit card, your application will be considered for a Nordstrom retail credit card.
What are the benefits of having a Nordstrom credit card?
If you get approved, you can enjoy the following perks, per Nordstrom’s website:
- Enjoy Early Access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
- Earn up to 3 points per dollar spent with us on your Nordstrom credit card.
- Get an extra 5% off every Nordstrom Rack purchase with your Nordstrom credit card.
- Earn 2 points per dollar in gas, EV charging, groceries, dining and streaming services (Nordstrom Visa credit card exclusive).
- Earn 1 point per dollar everywhere else Visa credit cards are accepted (Nordstrom Visa credit card exclusive).
- Get a special offer off your next purchase when you apply and get approved for a new Nordstrom credit card.
- Access 24/7 Nordstrom customer service.
- And get exclusive perks! Cardmembers unlock the best of The Nordy Club. Terms apply.
- Cardmember-only deals on select items July 14-17.
What’s included in the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?
I’d be pressed to find a product category that isn’t included in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Literally, whatever you want or need, this epic annual sale has it. From wardrobe staples like jeans, jackets, and shoes to basics you probably could always use more of (think underwear and socks), I’m convinced there’s something for everyone in this savings extravaganza. Don’t forget to check out Nordstrom’s beauty offerings, too. I’d recommend buying makeup, skincare, hair, and body products in bulk through the Beauty Exclusives category.
The retailer has yet to release a full list of Anniversary Sale participating brands, but we already know to expect the biggest names in fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. That’s because Nordstrom has an Anniversary Sale deals preview, which we sifted through and picked out our favorite markdowns below. Peep designers like Fendi and Tory Burch and more affordable names like Salt & Stone and Too Faced—all for up to 60% off.
