Interesting update. I received my merchandise and two of the sweaters did not fit well. Went into Nordstrom with the online receipt and explained that my mom had bought them for me and I did not want her knowing I was returning them...what could we do. The clerk explained that as long as we had the receipt, she could refund me in cash or to any credit card I wanted. Since this is not being pushed back through the system like a normal return, I will let you know what happens with the miles. It has been 3 days and they are still showing.

Good update! Keep us posted! Let me know as I might do just this.
Or
I am thinking of just returning it to another debit card AFTER the points post. Im assuming they cant take it away after it posts.

Great idea! I just returned a few things today that didn't fit well. I went to two different Nordstroms to explain my situation but none of the folks I talked to knew what to do to get around the system. I tried it without a receipt at the first, but they weren't taking it ... and rightfully so.
When they took your items, did they still have to look up your online order? If so, the return might still show in the system regardless of how it's paid out, but good luck!

As of this morning .... I see them doubling (24pnts/$1) my points.,,,, but not tripple (36pnts/$1) as it should be.
I spent $830 with them and so far I have 19,956 Avios pending .... it should be 29,916.
Also ... one of the items $259 was not available so they just e-mailed me to let me know they'll refund me. Curious to see if they'll take Avios out for that 1 item.
P.S. A few weeks ago I considered Avios to be sh*t .... but after looking at great reward for South America travel, I am starting to like this program. Just don't fly to Europe.

Does not speak volume about their availability levels, which is strange....

So now that the promo's dead, what did folks order for reselling? I couldn't get the Beats to work for me, I was just too afraid of getting burned on resell given that Monster and Beats have ended their relationship. I ended up buying a bunch of stuff, but for keeping and surprising my lovely wife. Ordinarily I wouldn't shop at Nordstrom, but Cole Haan, Clinique, Jo Malone, Kate Spade, this stuff rarely goes on sale so we stocked up.
