You are a regular customer and have these customer benefits and you and DH just did not coordinate.<br />I know Nordie's is legendary for customer accomodation, &nbsp;but I agree that we usually have&nbsp;some kind of moral&nbsp;filters for what's appropriate to ask. I would not ask for a price adjustment on something I bought 2 mos ago and then went on end-of-season sale.&nbsp;&nbsp;So hopefully there's a balance&nbsp;between responsible&nbsp;consumerism and good customer service. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-nordstrom-is-this-tacky#post-989365 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 18:44:04 +0000 Kristin SF 989365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!

That's what they are there for </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-nordstrom-is-this-tacky#post-989142 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:28:49 +0000 Gaylene 989142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems worth a try. I think asking for help works in situations like this because, technically, you <i>could</i> just return and then repurchase a few minutes later, right? Sales staff can often be really helpful in situations like this if you ask for their advice on how to handle situations like yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-nordstrom-is-this-tacky#post-989060 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:12:34 +0000 Thistle 989060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae would definitely be in the know!!</p> <p>Especially if you get a married femal associate, I think she will understand&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-nordstrom-is-this-tacky#post-988946 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 05:46:25 +0000 Kristin SF 988946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rae, I was hoping you'd weigh in! Good to know, I feel better about going in now. I really didn't want them to think I was abusing their generous return policy. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-nordstrom-is-this-tacky#post-988945 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 05:45:22 +0000 Kristin SF 988945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, that is my feeling, too, but wanted to doublecheck my moral compass before making the request. :-)</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-nordstrom-is-this-tacky#post-988944 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 05:43:32 +0000 rae 988944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go to the customer service area and explain that your husband forgot to use your card for the triple points. They may be able to honor it for you. Also, they will give credit to the original SA, which other SAs don't always know they are supposed to do. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: I don't think it's tacky. People ask for exceptions all the time. Doesn't hurt to try if you are polite about it. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-nordstrom-is-this-tacky#post-988942 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 05:33:26 +0000 lyn* 988942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd ask. No harm in it, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-about-nordstrom-is-this-tacky#post-988940 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 05:14:19 +0000 Kristin SF 988940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One day last week, I explained NAS to DH, and mentioned he might want to check it out since he's been complaining about his jeans being too large.</p> <p>LOL, that night he comes home a bit later than expected, with a shopping bag full of jeans. Apparently, he ran in at 9:30 pm, and walked out with some very happy picks. Men!</p> <p>On top of it, most of the jeans he bought weren't even NAS-priced. Sigh.</p> <p>On top of it, again - it just so happened to be my personal triple points day. Argh.</p> <p>Anyway, my question is this - is it tacky to take back his purchases and ask the SA to do a quick return on his card/repurchase on my Nordstrom debit? Even if I can't get triple points, at least I can get points towards a note.</p> <p>The total purchase price was enough that I'm considering at least asking. I bought him a few pairs of premium denim before he decided to train for Ironman, so those are the pairs (and then some) that he replaced.</p> <p>So. Tacky? TIA!</p>
