Nordstrom Gift Card Email Scam | giftcards@giftcards.nordstrom.com

There is no official “Nordstrom gift card giveaway” or breach alert currently requiring you to click a link. Scammers are circulating fake emails that appear to be from Nordstrom to steal your personal information or credit card details.

These usually fall into three specific categories:


1. The “You Won” or “Survey” Scam

  • The Hook: You receive an email claiming you have won a $500+ Nordstrom Gift Card or that you can get one by taking a short survey (often linked to the “Nordstrom Anniversary Sale”).

  • The Trap: The link takes you to a fake website that looks like Nordstrom. To “claim” the prize, they ask for a “small shipping fee” (stealing your credit card info) or your personal details (stealing your identity).

  • Red Flag: The email address is not @nordstrom.com (e.g., it comes from promo-rewards@gmail.com or a random string of letters).


2. The “Fraud Alert” Scam

  • The Hook: You get an urgent email saying there is “Suspicious Activity” on your Nordstrom card or account.

  • The Trap: It asks you to click a link to “verify your identity” or “unlock your account.” This link steals your login credentials.

  • Red Flag: Urgent language like “Action Required Immediately” or “Your account will be suspended.”

3. The “Boss/Friend” Gift Card Request

  • The Hook: You get an email from a “boss” or “CEO” asking you to buy Nordstrom gift cards for a “client gift” or “employee reward.”

  • The Trap: They ask you to scratch off the back and email them a photo of the codes.

  • Red Flag: The sender’s name matches your boss, but the email address is a personal one (like @gmail.com) instead of the company domain.


What to do right now:

  1. Do NOT click any links. If you already clicked and entered info, change your Nordstrom password immediately.

  2. Check the Sender: Tap the sender’s name to reveal the actual email address. If it doesn’t end in @nordstrom.com, it is fake.

  3. Verify Independently: If the email claims there is an issue with your account, close the email and go directly to Nordstrom.com (or the app) to check your account status there.

  4. Mark as Spam: Most email providers will block future attempts if you flag it.
