How To Get 17 Miles Per Dollar At Nordstrom

There’s nothing that influences my purchase decisions quite as much as miles. Sometimes they shouldn’t, but it just feels better to buy stuff when there are miles at stake.

As I’ve written about in the past, online shopping portals are a great way to maximize miles & points, and they’re especially practical since I do just about all my shopping online anyway. I should clarify that when I say “all my shopping,” I typically mean once per year, though apparently having a nephew means I have more "holiday shopping commitments" than I've had in the past.

But there are a few opportunities right now to get anywhere from 15 to 17 miles per dollar at Nordstrom, which certainly gets my attention.
