Just in time for The Christmas Book with its fantasy gift offerings, Neiman Marcus stores are set to accept Visa and Mastercard on November 1.  Whether it be a simple eyeshadow from Tom Ford (with which they have an exclusive) or that coveted Lanvin A/W 2011 taupe with tortoise shell clasp cape, shoppers can delight at the ease of being able to use all major credit cards now at Neimans.
