Clinique Bonus Time

Nordstrom

The bonus time at Nordstrom happens two times per year, in November and in May. However, Nordstrom often creates mini gift with purchase online-only offers (usually a 6-piece gift with no step up gifts) anytime during the year, especially during their Anniversary Sale.

 

The next regular bonus time at Nordstrom is expected to start in May 2024 (based on the previous year’s schedule) but we may see some surprises in the meantime.

    Spent $80.00 and did not receive full size additional Clinique gift of even better eyes, 0.33 oz. Instead received small sample size.
    Please send full size.

      On Jan 20 Nordstrom changed the gifts and during the change (for a few hours) there were no Clinique gifts available. If the gift didn’t appear in your shopping bag during checkout, most likely, you will not receive it. Please, always check your shopping bag before placing your purchase.

I am not happy about this. The only reason I ordered from you is for my Clinique bonus. It was a $27.00 minimum for the bonus. Order # 832001151

    I also ordered a powder the other day ( Stay Neutral ) which was $24.00 and never received my free three samples. That order # 831594876

    I have been very disappointed in the last 2 bonuses offered. I have never used the mascara, but love any of the moisturizing products, lipsticks, and the bags. But these last collections have been very “orange” in the base color? And no option for a blue-type based lip color. I wish there was a way to swap products– I used to do it with my 2 sisters and my Mom–but they have all passed a way( seriously)
    Also, I have a DRAWER FULL of mascara if anyone wants them? I also donate all sorts of products from hotel stays, etc. to the local Women’s Shelter–which is good. Self-care is always important–but even more important during hard times.

    As we know, many of the Clinique items and almost any combination of lesser-priced items will cost more than $32 dollars, so I think most of us would rather have the qualifier be $32 for 8 gifts instead of $27 for 7 gifts.
    This might also encourage people to utilize the Nordstrom offer over the Macy’s and Dillards offers, if they’re choosing only one offer.

    Hello! The most recent Nordstrom Clinique bonus for Nov 2014 seems to be available online already. I was on there checking what I might get and it suddenly popped up in my shopping cart. link: http://bit.ly/10P8e33

    May I also suggest to you this wonderful value set that sells for about $39 on their site called “color cravings”. The items in it are full size versions, not tester size like in GWPs (except the moisturizer is only 1 oz, but that’s still just .7oz short of the smallest size they sell) great deal esp. around bonus time! Good day 🙂

    Hi everyone. I was just at the Nordstrom Clinique counter and I asked when the next bonus time was. She said not until May, but I signed up for an appointment on March 9th (they are also doing it March 8th) and she said they are doing a gift with $50 purchase those two days only. I was planning on getting the even better serum anyway so the $50 is no problem, but $50 seems like a lot for a GWP, hope its a good one. Does anyone know whats in it?

      Thank you for the info, Kristin!! Maybe the same conditions apply also for the next year of 2014? Does anybody know?
