Worth It For The Alterations Alone!
Although I rarely shop at Nordstrom's since there isn't one close by I do have a Nordstrom card for the coupons alone. Nordstroms also offers a rewards program where you get a $20 Nordstroms Note (gift card) every time you reach 2,000 points. I have yet to receive one since I hardly ever shop there but it's good to know that it's an option. The other thing I really love is the alterations reimbursement. If I need a fancy dress for a special occasion I usually make the trip and purchase it at Nordstrom's because if you need alterations done (and I usually do for a perfect fit) you can get them done right at Nordstrom's and are then reimbursed for the cost right on your Nordstrom card! So, if you pay $20 to have something altered then you get a $20 credit right back on your bill! So it's basically free alterations if you pay with your Nortdstrom card! This, along wit the coupons, is the main reason I have the card even though I don't use it often. If you have the basic level you get up to $100 in alterations a year which is more than enough for the one or two times a year that I buy something that needs to be altered. But, why pay for alterations elsewhere when you can get them done right at the store and for free?
