Thread: I never realized how exclusive Neiman Marcus was....

Ok...hate to say even though I love NM....I am with Kelly and have shopped Nordstrom as I hate that NM only takes certain store cards and personal checks ....not sure I see the benefit in this !!!

they had one of the best sales ever before X-mas.. and after... gotta love a bad economy... its great for your closet!

those sales on rodeo during that season were insane.

NM is the shit, i was in for a surprise too when i walked in there with no Amex or NM card, but i still got the jeans i wanted, had them tailored too

Nordys FTW!

Could not agree more Nordy's In my opinion is much better than NM

I was at a NM in Scottsdale, usually at the one at Fashion Island and I was going to buy some King Baby jewlery...I talked to a manager about why they only take AMEX and their own card. The reason they only take their own card and AMEX is the privacy that AMEX affords their clients.

Both have their perks - Nords is a bit more conservative and classy in some aspects - less euro fashion

Too exclusive for me, I usually use my Visa debit card to buy everything. I'm not going to apply for a NM credit card just to shop there and I dont have AMEX. And no, I'm not going to go to the atm just to get cash to buy something there. I can just go to Nordstroms and pay with my Visa. There's nothing there that is "so" exclusive that I'm going out of my way just to get cash just to shop there. I think their method of payments is a cumbersome.

Saks NYC is the best, better have ur amex ready there

I've always been impressed, but find myself way more actually buying from Macy's.

Often, they will purchase AMEX giftcards for you to make the sale go smoother if you chose not to pull cash from the ATM. I know the Tysons Corner NM would do that for me anytime.
