With more than 1,000 stores and over five decades in business, Kohl’s is a powerhouse of a department store. It’s also a couponer’s dream. If you’re looking to up your game in saving on apparel, home goods, and accessories, cash in with these easy, money-saving tips.
Kohl’s free rewards program, Yes2You Rewards, works like cash back. For every $100 you spend online or in store, you receive a $5 coupon. The program also guarantees you eight special offers each year plus a birthday gift! You can even share the savings by giving points to friends or donating them to charity.
Head over to the Today’s Deals page on the Kohl’s website for a link to the current sales ad, special online-only deals, and deeply discounted items. Looking to save even more? Shop during specific Night Owls and Early Birds sale times to land even meatier deals.
Kohl’s Gold Star Clearance prices can save you up to 80% on items both in store and online. Plus, you can still use your coupons to save even more.
If you’re at least 55 years old, you can take advantage of a discount just for you. Every Wednesday, take 15% off your purchase price just for the years you’ve got under your belt.
When you sign up for E-mail or text alerts from Kohl’s, you not only get notifications of Kohl’s newest deals but also receive a cool 15% off coupon for your trouble.
Periodically, you can earn $10 of Kohl’s Cash for each $50 you spend online or in store. Keep in mind that the amount of Kohl’s Cash you get is based on your purchase total after consideration of your discounts and before taxes are computed. Be sure to use your Kohl’s Cash during the days specified on your certificate.
Track down promo codes and printable coupons for Kohl’s. You can save money on department-specific purchases (like apparel or home goods), save a dollar value or percent off your entire purchase price, and even get free shipping. Don’t forget to use the codes you’ve earned through the Kohl’s Cash and Yes2You Rewards programs.
Knowing the order in which Kohl’s applies coupons and discounts is key to maximizing your savings when stacking coupons. Here’s the rundown: Department-specific coupons come off first, followed by storewide dollar-off deals/coupons/rewards, then storewide percent-off deals.
Enjoying a Kohl’s shopping spree from the comfort of your laptop or tablet? If your purchase price is at least $75, you automatically qualify for free standard shipping through Kohl’s.com. If you haven’t hit the $75 mark, you can still frequently find promo codes for free shipping online.
Here’s a little-known secret: Your friendly Kohl’s Kiosk gives you free shipping regardless of your order’s total. These touch-screen computers, located throughout brick-and-mortar stores, allow you to search for, buy, and ship an item directly to your home – or as a gift to someone else – without a special code or a $75 minimum. Plus, you can scan coupons and enter codes when checking out!
Select Kohl’s stores offer the benefit of in-store pickup for your order. Instead of hauling your kids around a physical store or waiting for a shipment to arrive in the mail, you can order in-store items directly through Kohl’s website. If you choose the in-store pickup option, you’ll receive an automated E-mail when your order is ready. Then, simply head to the customer service desk to pick up your purchase and go!
Found a better price than Kohl’s at a competing store? Your friendly Kohl’s associate will match the lower price when you check out.
Did you know that many Kohl’s coupons can be reused? While this policy doesn’t apply to Kohl’s Cash and Yes2You Rewards, you can use most coupons in the store or online as many times as you’d like. In store, the cashier will scan your coupon with your purchase and hand it right back to you so you can hit the racks again and continue saving.
Kohl’s offers a generous price adjustment policy. If the cost of an on-sale or regular-priced item drops within 14 days of your purchase date, it’s time to cash in. Kohl’s will hand you the difference between your purchase price and the recently lowered price.
In addition to up-front savings, Kohl’s offers tons of mail-in rebates and makes the process painless. Rebate forms and information – like qualifying product codes, rebate instructions, deal periods, and postmark deadlines – are all available on Kohl’s website. Simply download the rebate form, print, complete, and mail to get your savings.
Kohl’s is famed for its customer-friendly, “Hassle-Free Returns” policy. Bought a shirt that looked better in the store or ordered some bedding online that didn’t quite match your décor? No problem.
There’s no rush to get your items back to the store or warehouse. Kohl’s will refund your cash up to 12 months after your purchase and offer you store credit after that. You don’t have to pay for return shipping on an online order, since Kohl’s gives you the option of walking into a physical store to get your money back.
Don’t sweat a lost receipt either. Kohl’s may be able to look up your order with the credit card you used – even if it’s not a Kohl’s Charge card.
If you’re a frequent Kohl’s shopper, signing up for a Kohl’s Charge card is a powerful way to save. Kohl’s guarantees cardholders 12 discounts of 15% to 30% each year and gifts you 25% off your first Kohl’s charge purchase. You can apply online or sign up at the register to get your card and start raking in the coupons.
If you’re a heavy Kohl’s shopper and spend at least $600 per year on your Kohl’s Charge card, you’re among the ranks of Kohl’s Most Valued Customers (MVCs). As a thank-you for your business, Kohl’s guarantees its MVCs at least 18 discounts a year.
Whether you’re a once-in-a-while Kohl’s shopper or your family and home look like a living Kohl’s ad, you can score some sweet savings at Kohl’s. Try some new tips the next time you shop, and see how much you can save!
