Best credit card to use at Nordstrom.
Department StoreOnline Shopping
Nordstrom is a higher-end department store with about 100 full-line stores and a much larger Nordstrom Rack outlet network. Pricing skews full-retail at the flagship locations and steeply discounted at Rack, so the right card depends partly on which channel you're shopping. Both code as department stores at the register and online shopping on nordstrom.com / nordstromrack.com. Nordstrom's own Nordy Club rewards layer in on top of card cashback.
Picks without a tag earn at Nordstrom both in-store and online. Watch for theOnline onlytag — those bonuses only apply on nordstrom.com.
