Be the first to shop unreal deals on brands like Rag & Bone, Stuart Weitzman, Kate Spade, and more with your Nordstrom card before the rest of general public.

I’ll be the first to say it: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is legendary. Almost a holiday of sorts for frequent bargain shoppers. For Nordstrom cardmembers (debit and credit), the sale is going on now, July 12 at 3 a.m. Eastern through July 19, thanks to Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access. Be the first (eight days earlier!) to get those wardrobe essentials and splurge-worthy items before the general public has a go at them.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access is like a weeklong VIP shopping event, but here’s the catch: It’s for the upcoming seasons’ newest styles at discounted prices. That means you can score just-arrived pieces at a whopping 50 percent off and rock the hottest designers all through fall and winter. I’m talking high-ticket items like winter jackets, jeans, booties, and handbags.

If you’re not already a cardmember, there’s still time to sign up. Aside from early access to brand-new arrivals in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, there are other exclusive benefits, including a $40 bonus with any first-day purchase (yes, that means today).

The card’s the key to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, with many sought-after deals selling out before the sale goes public on July 20. Between designer deals on AG jeans, Stuart Weitzman boots, and Kate Spade bags and more affordable finds like Halogen pants, Topshop sweaters, and Thread & Supply pullovers, there’s something for everyone in this once-a-year frenzy, but you have to click quick!
