Your eligibility for levels 2, 3, and 4 of Nordstrom Fashion Rewards will be reviewed quarterly and will be based on your net purchases made with your Nordstrom Visa Signature card at Nordstrom stores, Nordstrom Rack, nordstrom.com, and through Nordstrom catalogs (“net purchases at Nordstrom”). level 2 requires an annual minimum of $2,000 in net purchases at Nordstrom; level 3 requires an annual minimum of $5,000 in net purchases at Nordstrom; and level 4 requires an annual minimum of $10,000 in net purchases at Nordstrom. Once you reach the qualifying net purchases at Nordstrom for levels 2, 3, or 4, your benefits at each level include the category of benefits associated with the preceding level(s) of the Nordstrom Fashion Rewards program. participation in the alternative travel points option requires your affirmative request.

You remain eligible to receive rewards points, the benefits associated with level 1, 2, 3, or 4 (subject to the qualifying net purchases at Nordstrom stated above) and/or travel points as long as your Nordstrom account remains open and Nordstrom Bank has not revoked your charging or purchasing privileges. You remain eligible to redeem travel points and Nordstrom Fashion Rewards benefits as long as your account remains open and Nordstrom Bank has not revoked your charging privileges. Nordstrom employees and Nordstrom purchases receiving an employee discount will earn rewards points for net purchase with a Nordstrom Credit Card or Nordstrom debit card, but will not be eligible for any other benefits associated with level 1, 2, 3, and 4.

how do points accrue?If you are participating solely in Nordstrom Fashion Rewards (and are not participating in the alternative travel points option), you will receive two rewards points for every dollar in net purchases at Nordstrom made with your Nordstrom Visa Signature card and you will receive one rewards point for every dollar in net purchases made with your Nordstrom Visa Signature card anywhere Visa credit cards are accepted. For international orders placed on nordstrom.com, you will receive one rewards point for every dollar in purchases. International orders are not eligible for any bonus rewards points opportunities.

card everywhere Visa credit cards are accepted, including all of your Nordstrom purchases. If you enroll in the alternative travel points option at a date later than when you open your account, you will not receive retroactive travel points for net purchases charged to your account prior to the date you elect to enroll in the alternative travel points option. Your enrollment in the alternative travel points option does not alter or change your participation in or the benefits associated with levels 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the Nordstrom Fashion Rewards program (subject to the qualifying net purchases at Nordstrom stated above).

You will receive notice that you have reached Nordstrom Fashion Rewards levels 2, 3 or 4 after you have achieved the qualifying dollars in net purchases at Nordstrom. At that time, you will also receive information about the then-current list of benefits associated with your level and how to redeem those benefits. You may also receive additional information about more benefits from time to time.

Some of the benefits may have restrictions associated with them, may require you to purchase the benefit, may have limited available quantities, and may only be available while supplies last, and/or may be subject to other restrictions. We will explain applicable restrictions to you when you receive information about the benefit.

The complimentary standard in-store shipping and alterations benefits require that you use your Nordstrom Visa Signature card to purchase the Nordstrom item associated with the shipping and/or alteration and further require you to charge the shipping and/or alteration fee to your Nordstrom Visa Signature card. The shipping and/or alteration fee will be refunded on your next monthly billing statement following the purchase. The alterations benefit is not cumulative as you progress through the Fashion Rewards levels. This means, for example, if you are at a level where the total alterations benefit is $100 and you have used $100, when you progress to a level that provides for $300, you will have $200 left to use. The alterations benefit is not available for international online orders. The complimentary standard in-store shipping benefit is not available for international shipments.

how will i be reimbursed?provided that the terms and conditions of the benefit have been met, and depending on the nature and circumstances of the incident, the benefit administrator, at its discretion, may choose to discharge your claim in either of two ways:1. A damaged item (whether wholly or in part) may be repaired, rebuilt, or replaced. A stolen item may be replaced. If the item is to be repaired, rebuilt, or replaced, you usually will be notified of the decision within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the required proof of theft/damage documentation.2. You may be reimbursed for the eligible item, but not more than the original purchase price of the covered item as recorded on your eligible Visa Signature card receipt, less handling and shipping charges, up to a maximum of five hundred dollars ( $500.00) per claim occurrence and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder.* Under normal circumstances, reimbursement will take place within five (5) business days of receipt and approval of all required documents. In either case, the Benefit Administrator’s payment, replacement, or repair made in good faith will fulfill the obligation under the benefit.

do i have to file with my insurance company?Yes, if you have insurance applicable to the damaged or stolen item (e.g. business owner’s, homeowner’s, renter’s, or automobile) or if you are covered by your employer’s insurance for such losses, you are required to file a claim with your own insurance company and to submit a copy of any claim settlement from your insurance company along with your claim form.* In some cases, at the option of the Benefit Administrator, where the claim amount is within your personal insurance deductible, a copy of your personal insurance policy declaration page may be sufficient.*

*NOTE: purchase Security provides coverage on an “excess” coverage basis. That means it does not duplicate, but pays in excess of any valid and collectible insurance or indemnity (including, but not limited to, homeowner’s, renter’s, automobile, or employer’s insurance policies). After all insurance or indemnity has been exhausted, purchase Security will cover the theft or damage up to the amount charged to your eligible Visa account and subject to the terms, exclusions, and limits of liability of the benefit. purchase Security will also pay for the outstanding deductible portion

of your insurance or indemnity for eligible claims. The maximum limit of liability is five hundred dollars ($500.00) per claim occurrence and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder. You will receive no more than the purchase price as recorded on the eligible Visa Signature card receipt. Where a protected item is part of a pair or a set, you will receive no more than the value (as described herein) of the particular part or parts, stolen or damaged, regardless of any special value that the item may have as part of such a pair or set, nor more than the proportionate part of an aggregate purchase price of such pair or set. purchase Security is not “contributing” insurance, and this “non-contribution” provision shall take precedence over “non-contribution” provisions found in insurance or indemnity descriptions, policies, or contracts.
