I went to Nordstrom today and they asked if I wanted to get a Nordstrom debit card (as opposed to credit card), so I could take advantage of the presale. From what they say, they open it immediately, it doesn't require a credit check, and there are no associated fees. It comes straight out of your checking account, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to pay the bill and incurring late charges (this is my weakness with store credit cards, because I rarely use them--I forget when I have used it and have to pay!). I guess I'm a cynic, but I'm trying to figure out if there is a catch somewhere. Does anyone have one?
