How Kohls Cash works
Kohls Cash is a store credit earned during specific promotional events at Kohls. During Kohls Cash events, qualifying spend earns $10 to $25 in Kohls Cash per $50 spent. The Kohls Cash earned must be redeemed within a specific 1 to 2 week window after the promotional event ends.
For shoppers planning multiple Kohls purchases, timing the first purchase to a Kohls Cash earn event and the second purchase to the redemption window catches material savings.
When Kohls Cash events run
Kohls Cash events run roughly 6 to 8 times per year. The schedule typically includes Memorial Day weekend, July 4th weekend, back-to-school (August), Labor Day weekend, Halloween (October), Black Friday week, Cyber Monday, and Christmas season.
The $10 to $25 per $50 spent rate varies by event. Black Friday and Cyber Monday Kohls Cash events typically run at the higher $25 per $50 rate.
How to stack Kohls Cash with credit card cashback
For shoppers using a general cashback credit card (Chase Sapphire Preferred, Amex Gold) at Kohls checkout, the credit card cashback stacks with Kohls Cash earned. The credit card cashback applies to the gross spend; Kohls Cash applies to the next purchase as store credit.
For Kohls Charge cardholders, the 5 percent Kohls Charge discount applies at checkout in addition to Kohls Cash earned. Net effective discount during a Black Friday Kohls Cash event with Kohls Charge: roughly 30 to 40 percent off list.
