Yes, I made sure before I upgraded. According to my stylist, they just changed their policy a month and a half ago. I double checked with the head manager and the person doing the credit check over the phone. I made it clear I was really close to making icon status and did not want to start over again.

Well that’s good to know. It’ll be MUCH easier to hit icon every year. I’ll have to start using it instead of my Costco card each year. Just make sure to pay it off each month. I think their interest rate is something horrific like 33%!

I remember getting an email about this a month or so ago - great changes! I need to sit down and calculate which card is better.

It is. I will definitely pay it off every month. And you guys are all scaring me. I am triple checking with my stylist right now. I’m going to be upset if I was told the wrong info.

Not trying to scare you at all. I’m sure it did just change if that’s what she told me. I asked maybe 4 years ago, so I am sure they have the more updated information. I haven’t asked about it recently. But I do remember seeing the interest rate was going up so I made sure to keep it at zero. I use my Costco card the same way but their interest rate is much lower. I don't know that I have a card with that crazy high interest other then Nordys.

All of my purchases go on the Costco card. I will leisurely walk around Costco each year with my rebate check and buy all sorts of stuff I don’t need. :P

https://www.nordstrom.com/s/8047549: I like this as a good dress up basic. I didn’t buy it online, but I liked the feel of it in person. I got it in a small in beige, and I ordered it in black and ivory to try.

https://www.nordstrom.com/s/7148146: This did not interest me online, but I got FOMO at the store when so many people were taking them off the rack to try on/purchase. These are small, and I got them in both black and grey (ordered ivory to ship). The front is shorter than the back and it is cropped).

https://www.nordstrom.com/s/7403312: I’ve always been curious about this dress. This is a small. I also tried on the XS but it was too short. Small is still short when I raise my arms up. I like the look, but my husband HATES it. The bottom is a bit see through in that I could faintly see my dark undies.

I will post some more later when I have more time. I didn’t take pictures of everything I tried on or bought, but I wanted to share some photos to hopefully help others decide.
I used the link for the free people dress and it comes up with a third color - wish that one was available!

I looked into it last year and it was only spending inside Nordstrom, but that’s good to know. I travel hack, so I have a different credit card for everything (and use them like cash, pay them off twice a month) and then use the points to travel or pay myself back. I saved up 3 years of Amazon points and paid myself back for an expensive outdoor projector for our new backyard remodel. We fly on points for our one or two trips a year. Chase has a limit to how many new cards you can open in a 24 month period, so I have a spreadsheet & have to be careful about opening new ones so it doesn’t throw off my travel strategy.

I’m pretty sure I spent myself back into Ambassador status for next year today, so I’ll have to look into switching cards next year. 5% off at the Rack is good too!
 
My in store purchases from today. I ordered last night at 9P, so far 🤞🏼 no cancellations. I wanted to try on for sizes especially after no expedited shipping, went to Topanga Mall & they did not have the Frye or Blondo boots to try on but I did the above shoes. I didn’t like my original color choice in the Hoka it was a very pinky color not as beige as I thought so I went with white. I wanted new slippers & this year I’m not just buying the things from the sale if I don’t like the options so I bought these Ugg slippers retail. The Zella wind jacket was an unexpected surprise. Really like it. The water bottle & scratch card were our only freebie gifts. No meal or beauty card given. I don’t have an SA there cause I live a couple hours away. I love the sale & I don’t want to be a downer but I have been shopping this sale since 2007 & I have never had as poor customer service. They gave us numbers in the shoe department 🤯 I’m not saying the people weren’t nice but there were just not enough of them. I still had a wonderful shopping experience because I love to shop. 💕

A couple of things I got today and was surprised I really liked:

This Halogen tweed jacket is really nice. I ended up sizing up one: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/8236062?color=103&size=10

The leopard print a-line dress is amazing! I think someone mentioned it earlier. So flattering. Had no intention of buying any dresses especially a full length like this but it was too good! https://www.nordstrom.com/s/8132332?color=260&size=medium

And if I hadn’t seen this JW Pei bag I would have overlooked it. It’s really cute in the black with the gold handle. Not sure how often I’ll use it, but nice to have a small bag for an evening out! https://www.nordstrom.com/s/8309552?color=003&size=one size
