Kohl's has an interesting way of rewarding its frequent credit card shoppers. It gives out Kohl's Cash. But, beware of the manner in which they apply the Cash to your purchases. It is criminal!
Instead of applying the Cash as a tender (payment), Kohl's uses it as a discount BEFORE other coupons are applied. All other retailers who say you have $10 off something, actually give you $10 off at the END of the transaction. It is applied toward the bottom line payment. Kohl's does not.
My purchases totalled $19.89 after using a 20% off card they mailed me. When I tried to pay that $19.89 with two $10 Kohl's Cash coupons, all of a sudden I owed THEM $2.62 more.interesting accounting methods.
Also, they send out these Percent Off cards supposedly to frequent shoppers. But, if a customer shows up in the store without one, they give that person a scratch off that is often better than the cards mailed out. What is that about???
The Kohl's Cash promo states $10 in Cash for every $50 purchase. I attempted to separate my items at checkout so that I would have multiple $10 coupons. The cashier told me not to bother - that I would get one for every $50 I spent. So, my total that day was $101.87, but only ONE $10 Cash certificate was awarded. Either incompetence or outright lies!
About once a year, I get so mad at something Kohl's does - usually because an employee gives me incorrect info or a product doesn't hold up, that I decide not to shop with them again. Somewhere along the way, I must forget and back I go. But, this time, I am done! No more shopping at Kohl's. I'm going back to Macy's for everything.
