You have to know that I love Nordstrom with all my heart. When I worked for them as a teen on their BP Fashion Board, I actually paid THEM! Stupid Anniversary Sales.
I earned many a Nordstrom Note back when I held their credit card. Then came our financial demise and I haven't seen a Nordstrom Note or their credit card since. Guess what, I lived.
These days, when I'm making my Nordstrom purchase with cash, they always ask if I want to get a Nordstrom debit card. "Works just like your bank debit card. Use wherever a debit card is accepted. You get Nordstrom reward points, too." They all told me that and I finally decided, why not? Get a cuter looking debit card and earn Nordstrom Notes, even when I buy groceries or gas? Sounds good. I WILL SCORE! They will
probably have to shut down the program because I will earn so many Notes. Have you seen what I spend on groceries?
And then I received my card. Yeah, that was wrong as wrong can be. All the Nordstrom Debit card does is work as a debit card. AT NORDSTROM. How could I be so lame as to believe what those bleeping sales folk told me? I can understand one ditzy girl telling me that, but there were several. At different stores, too. And so I have left a voice mail, email and a Twitter DM nicely letting them know they might wanna give their employees an FYI.
And I need to quit taking those dang gullible pills. Oh well, at least it didn't cost me anything.
Gah.

and at least that is a really snazzy looking debit card!
