NORDSTROM CREDIT CARD SHOP: A few questions please

There is no scheduler contact listed for this nor is there anyplace to ask questions before taking on the shop, so was wondering please: Can you buy something within the $20.00 shop fee?? Shop description is vague on this, also how is the report in general please?? Again, it would help if this msc made it easy to ask questions first...Many Thanks.

Sure. When I did mine, I got myself a Denver Broncos beanie! Perfect timing since I went to a game the next day and it was cold af that day!

$20 seems low to ask if you would like to sign up for a credit card, but who knows? It's likely I'll spend more than the $20 reimbursement when I do the shop so I'm not concerned. I would guess that as long as you spend at least $20, you should be able to do the report without worrying about it. The Nordstrom Rack shop details I see state that you're supposed to ask the associate about the credit card if they do not mention it.
Oooh. I'm gonna have to look for those. Will be around a ton of Nordstroms in the next few weeks.

$20, for a 5 minute or less interaction. If it was asking me to apply for a card with a specific or my own SSN, it’d be completely different, but I wish I lived in areas with much more Nordstrom locations. I’d grab all of them!!

Why didn't you take one of the app shops? The ones I looked at were all $100-120.

Because I missed out on the $160 one and have been waiting for that one to come back ever since sad smiley

I’m doing a $120 one Tuesday. I’m pretty excited!
I should clarify that I meant a $20 or less purchase seems like a low amount for an employee to ask if you're interested in signing up for a credit card, but perhaps they are supposed to ask for every purchase. $20 reimbursement for this inquiry only shop is good enough for me!
Are these being shopped by a new MSC? I’ve done this shop before but don’t see it on the job board for the MSC I did it for.
I don't know who has done them before. I just looked to see what bank issues the Nordstrom card and looked on the job board of the MSC that normally has branch shops for that bank.

Well I was gonna make people at least have to do a little work instead of just giving it to them....

Lol that’s my bad! Sometimes I read people’s posts too fast! I thought you were asking until I reread it!

Don’t worry...I did the research and figured out the bank before it was posted. However, I have none of those shops in my area. Has anyone noticed with this MS company that some of their shops that they email us about are not located on their job board?
I have done one of these bonused. My instructions stated that you needed to purchase something costly ( no dollar amount specified) in order to encourage a credit card offer. Not a problem. I bought something for $400+ that I was planning to purchase anyway. Everyone wins. I cannot think of anything you can purchase for $20 other than a pair of socks.

That's probably true....shucks, even at Target, if you go through the register for a pack of gum, they invite you to sign you up for a credit card! So the amount of the purchase probably isn't relevant....it's asking if you want to get one of their credit cards that is the main motivation for the employee.

An NFL beanie. What kind of silk socks are you buying at Nordstroms?

Exactly. It's an incentive on a point system to get numbers with credit card signups. The dollar amount of a purchase shouldn't matter to the staff.

LMAO. I shared what my job instructions stated. Silk socks in any form are divine. So are Nike
socks and 4 pieces of chocolate. I love team beanies too.
