Kohl’s Deceptive Algebra used when…
Kohl’s Deceptive Algebra used when applying “special” discounts AND Kohl’s Cash in a single purchase transaction As a Kohl’s credit cardholder, for well over 20 years, I was extremely frustrated (6/20/2026) after attempting to use the 2 day 40% off discount along with my Kohl’s cash ($67.99) AND even more so, after speaking with Kohl’s rude Customer Service representative AND her supervisor; the ‘representative’ rudely interrupted me and stated, “I’m trying to explain our policy”; her supervisor repeatedly declared “That’s our policy.” After receiving an email regarding a 2-day 40% off promotion, I excitedly selected discount applicable items in an attempt to redeem my Kohl’s cash before it expired, since I have unintentionally failed to redeem Kohl’s cash before the expiration date numerous times over the more than 20 years I’ve been a Kohl’s cardholder. My cart total was $69.93 prior to applying the 40% discount and $67.99 Kohl’s Cash; after applying, my cart total was $29.13 I assumed there was an error with the system, so I placed my call to Kohl’s Customer Service number. I find this “policy” deceptive and unfair…especially since the company proudly announces that you can earn the Kohl’s cash (KC) on purchases but not how you can spend it/that the window for spending the KC seems to close sooner. I have been a loyal Kohl’s customer for years and observed numerous changes such as: length of time for returns; coupon eligible items; brands available; and brands/items available in-store vs on-line as well as quality of customer service.
