Nordstrom points are worth 1 cent each, on average. For example, 10,000 Nordstrom points have a dollar value of roughly $100. As a result, Nordstrom points are less valuable the average department store’s rewards points, which are valued at 1.72 cents each.

The easiest way to calculate the value of a retailer’s rewards points for any redemption method is to determine the dollar value of what you’re redeeming for, minus any taxes and fees that you’ll still have to pay, and then divide that amount by the number of points you’re required to redeem.
