I will say that overall I used to like…
I will say that overall I used to like Kohl’s. Great stuff, decent prices. HOWEVER - so I must confess that I don’t shop there often. I got an email that said if I don’t use my card by a certain date - Sept. 28 - that my card will be closed. Although I don’t shop there often, I wanted the ability to use it if I chose to. So, I decided to make an order. It happened to be right on Sept. 28 - which would have been fine BUT - I tried to make the transaction using my Kohl’s card online. It gave me an error. I said to myself uh-oh did I miss the time frame? So I call customer service. Guy was super nice, seemed knowledgeable - but they had my old address on file. I told him that I had a different address and that I’d need a card sent there as well as I also had an older card in my possession. He assured me that my account was active and able to be used and I made the time frame. About three weeks go by and I’m like huh where’s my order, where’s my card. I call into customer service and apparently the order and card got sent to my OLD ADDRESS. UGH. And here’s where things really took a left turn. So, I said ok well I didn’t get it, can you send it to the right address? He said no, once it goes back to the facility they can’t resend it and oh by the way, my account has been closed so I can’t even do what I initially intended in the first place which was keep my account open! They told me I’d have to apply for a new card, I said no I’m not doing that and I’m livid. Then I decided that I still wanted the stuff that I ordered, so I placed a new order with a different/regular credit card. Receive my stuff like a normal order, all good. By the way I will admit that they order email had my old address on it and I didn’t notice. So that is my bad - but the rest of what happened as a result is ridiculous. Moving on, I recently got an email that says I have a balance due of $11 and change to a Kohl’s card - what?? I was told my account was closed and that if I wanted an account I’d have to reapply. Oh but wait, that’s if you obviously don’t owe money. Sounds reasonable, right? You can’t close a credit card account if you owe money on it, duh - but for what do I owe money you ask? I’ll tell you. For the order that was sent to the WRONG address and sent back to the facility, which was $51 worth of stuff, they said that I owe $10 because there was $10 of Kohl’s cash used and if you return something, the Kohl’s cash does NOT get returned to the account. Are we serious right now??? It wasn’t my fault that it got returned. I didn’t return it. And I don’t even have the account! So now I owe money for something that wasn’t my error, but was theirs, for something that was returned to sender that I didn’t return, for something that I was just trying to do so my account wasn’t closed! $50 worth of damn socks!! That I didn’t even need! I’d SLIGHTLY understand if I returned on my own volition and was TOLD that I wouldn’t receive my Kohl’s cash back if I returned it, but that also doesn’t even make sense. I have to pay for my Kohl’s cash if I return something? That’s absolutely ridiculous - unless I used the Kohl’s cash on another transaction, now that would make sense. But this is for something that wasn’t even my fault so I’m basically paying or supposed to pay for something that isn’t my fault in the least? I don’t think so Kohl’s!! I’m currently waiting on a callback from a supervisor but I have the feeling they are going to tell me the same thing and I’m going to be forced to go into a store and make a scene. For $11!!! And no I’m not going to just pay it bc it’s only $11!! It’s the principle and the fact that this has caused me so much headache that they should be REFUNDING ME for my entire order and then some!! The amount of hours that I’ve spent on this thus far is insane which couldn’t have been avoided at this point. I could avoid future hassle and just pay it but no freaking way. This is insane. FURTHERMORE I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING NOW - I DIDNT EVEN GET MY EARNED AND DESERVED KOHLS CASH AND NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY THEM FOR THEIR MISTAKE?!!! THEY OWE ME $10!!!!
