[jennlin]

i've done *no* research on it. but i signed up for one. i'm responsible with credit cards (so no lectures about too many cards), i wanted the free alterations.

tell me about the other benefits/bonuses.

do you get free alterations that aren't already free? (like the original hem which is extra, but reg hem is free)

For every 2000 points or something like that, they send you a $20 "Nordstrom note" that's basically like a gift card. They do a lot of double points days at the beginning of their sales, and you can pick a day each calendar year for your "triple points" day. I rack up Nordstrom notes pretty quickly.

ETA - $1 spent = 1 point.

So, on double points day, if I spend $10 on something, I'd get 20 points. etc etc.

I don't have much to add. I have had one for years and love it. I do know that you get invited to private events if you have charged a certain $ amount on your card at Nordstroms, which is pretty cool. You also get double and triple points during sales. You also earn double pts for Nordstroms purchases vs. none Nordstroms.

I use mine as my back up credit card and for all Nordstroms purchases.

I'm no help. I don't think I've ever even bought anything from Nordstrom.

From my phone yo!

We just signed up last weekend since DH threw down $$ for a new work wardrobe. One reason we did it was $200 in free alterations. In addition to regular alterations that are typically covered, he's having two suit coats taken in and a dress jacket.

You get so many triple points days a year, and they allowed us to use it on our first day which means I'm waiting on a ton of Nordstrom Notes to buy myself something nice for spending 5 hours shopping with him.

Well, we have one. But Nordstrom Notes are pretty awesome, especially if you save them up.

Also, it has DH's employee number on the back in case I forget. LOL

so the point system is equivalent to about 1%...... which doesn't make it worth it, since i have cash back cards with my lowest one being 1.5%.....so i wont' be using the card unless it's a triple point time!

Yeah but the more you use it, the more benefits you get. Like- you could pick a random day that you'd like to make a triple points day. I don't have all the bennies memorized, but this and my Southwest Visa are the two cards I use the most.
