My wife and I had a horrible experience at the Kohl's store in Desert Ridge mall in Phoenix AZ this past Friday 7/10/09. We went there to buy several items for our new house and had a 15% coupon we received in the mail to use. Upon going to the cashier, we gave that coupon card and also said we wanted to open a Kohl's acct to get the extra 15% discount on top of the coupon (NOTE: there's nothing in the coupon that states it cannot bec ombined with other discounts). The cashier went and setup our Kohl's acct. After setting it up, he then tells us we can't combine the coupon with credit card discount. This is after the fact that we gave him the coupon and mentioned our intentions. We then said we didn't want the Kohl's card anymore since it's no use to us. Apparently, they can't cancel it from there. I asked for the supervisor and she said she can give us a toll-free number to call or go to the back customer service to have the acct cancelled. We went to the customer service area and there they said they couldn't cancel the acct. I asked the same supervisor this and she changed her story now and stated that she meant I can go to the customer service to use their internal phone to call the toll-free number but that they can't locally do anything with the account (although they have no problems creating one - go figure). At this point we were furious and stormed out the store after returning the items we bought.in the car, we called the toll-free number to cancel the acct and they said they couldn't do it that day and to call back tomorrow. We said hell no and asked to speak to a supervisor as this was not acceptable. The rep said there's no point in speaking to the supervisor as he/she will say the same thing. Nevertheless, we said we still wanted to. After waiting for 30 minutes, the agent said that they could actually cancel it at the store that we opened the acct with. He conferenced us in with someone at the store and they were able to cancel the acct FINALLY. All in all, I must say the people at the Desert Ridge store are a bunch of liars and would take advantage of you in a sec. It's either that or they have no idea what they are doing there. I'll never shop there again. It's a waste of time! Beware!
