Gift Cards

The following terms and conditions (the "Terms") apply to the purchase and use of physical and digital Nordstrom gift cards (collectively, "gift cards"). Your purchase and use of the gift cards constitute your agreement to follow and be bound by these Terms. Gift cards are issued by Nordstrom, Inc.

Gift cards may not be returned or applied as payment on any account. Gift cards may not be redeemed for cash excepts required by law. Gift cards may not be applied as payment on any account and cannot be resold, exchanged or transferred for value, or returned for cash refund (except as required by law). Gift cards are not accepted for international orders placed with Borderfree or ESW.

Returns
If a gift card is used to place an order and items from that order are returned, generally, refunds are credited back to that original gift card.

Balance Inquiry
To verify the remaining balance, call 1.877.283.4045, inquire at any store register or check online.

Nordstrom and its affiliates reserve the right to refuse to accept gift cards that Nordstrom suspects or believes were obtained fraudulently. Any possession or removal of a gift card outside the retail location where such card is offered prior to proper activation (without authorization from us) constitutes possession of an unauthorized access device which violates applicable law, is against the terms and conditions of this card, and may result in us (i) voiding or cancelling the card, (ii) invalidating all transactions, and (iii) retaining all funds associated with the card.

Compliance with Laws
By purchasing or using a gift card, you are certifying and representing to Nordstrom that the activities in connection with which the gift card will be used will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and that the gift card will not be used in any manner that is misleading, deceptive, unfair or otherwise harmful to consumers or Nordstrom.

IN THE EVENT THAT NORDSTROM OR ITS AFFILIATES ARE FOUND LIABLE TO YOU, YOUR SOLE REMEDY WILL BE TO RECOVER ACTUAL AND DIRECT DAMAGES WHICH SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LAST BALANCE HELD ON YOUR GIFT CARD.

Physical gift cards are sent inside a gift card holder. The recipient's name, sender's name, a message and the gift card amount are printed inside the holder. Gift cards shipped using free standard shipping will usually arrive within 4–7 business days. Expedited shipping is available for an additional fee.

Our digital gift cards can be emailed to the recipient within minutes of your purchase or scheduled for delivery on a specific date you choose. The email sent to the recipient includes a link to receive the card online. When the recipient opens the link, the card design you selected will be displayed along with the recipient's name, your personalized message, the card number, amount and instructions on how to redeem.

You'll receive two emails: one confirming delivery and another notifying you that the card has been viewed. If the card is not viewed, you'll receive an email with options for resolving the issue. You may also contact customer service (1.844.639.8924) with the order number you received in your order confirmation email, and we can tell you if the recipient has viewed the card.

Once your order is placed, an authorization (pending charge) for the gift card/Nordstrom Note-related purchase amount will be applied to your gift card(s) and/or Nordstrom Note(s). This authorization will remain on your gift card(s) and Nordstrom Note(s) until the items ship, at which time the funds will be redeemed. While the authorization is applied to your gift card(s) and Nordstrom Note(s), the authorized funds will neither be visible to you nor available for use on any other purchase. If your order is canceled for any reason, the authorization will be removed, and the funds will once again become available to use on the original gift card(s) and/or Nordstrom Note(s).

It is important to keep your gift card, as the funds will become available on the original gift card(s) in case of cancellations.

Gift card and Nordstrom Note funds will be redeemed for the cost of each item as it ships. You may see multiple gift card redemptions if you have an order that contains multiple items that are shipped at different times. After all shipments are complete, any remaining funds will be visible when you check your balance.

No—be sure to keep your gift card in case of refunds. Generally, refunds will be credited to your original form of payment, including gift cards with a $0 balance.

All order information is transmitted using the https protocol over a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), utilizing current technology for consumer protection. Behind the scenes, your web browser is sending all order information over SSL, and the purchase process meets Payment Card Industry data security standards. If you have any questions or concerns, call customer service at 1.844.639.8924.

You should treat your gift card like cash. If you lose your physical gift card or the link to your digital gift card, immediately contact customer service at 1.844.639.8924.
