Kohl’s Sale Dates (2026) | Year-Round Sales Calendar

You earn $10 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 you spend during specific earning periods. The amount stacks—spend $100 and get $20, spend $150 and grab $30, and so on. Your Kohl's Cash arrives as a certificate (digital or paper) with printed redemption dates, usually starting a few days after the earning window closes.

When the redemption period opens, use your Kohl's Cash like currency on nearly anything in-store or online. You can even earn more Kohl's Cash when you redeem it, creating a rolling savings cycle.

Yes! Kohl's lets you stack up to four different types in one transaction: one sitewide percentage-off, department-specific discounts, dollar-off offers, and Kohl's Cash. This stacking power is what serious Kohl's shoppers love—layer a 20% Friends & Family event with $10 Kohl's Cash and a category discount, and your total drops fast.

Some exclusions apply to certain brands and categories, so check the fine print on each offer before checkout.

Yes, Kohl's offers a 14-day price adjustment window. If something you bought goes on sale within two weeks of your purchase, bring your original receipt (or order confirmation) and they'll refund the difference. This applies whether you paid full price or bought it during a previous sale.

The item needs to still be in stock and the new price must be lower than what you paid. BOGO deals and limited-time promotions may not qualify, so ask at customer service if you're unsure.

About once per quarter, Kohl's runs an extra clearance event where you can take an additional 50% off already-reduced prices—that's when you see markdowns hit 70–85% off. These events last a few days and work both in-store and online.

For regular clearance browsing, weekday mornings are your friend. Stores restock after busy weekends, and you'll have first pick of fresh markdowns before the evening rush clears the racks.

Cardholders get a 40% discount on their first purchase within 30 days of approval, plus around 12 exclusive cardholder-only discount mailers throughout the year. The card also lets you earn Kohl's Rewards faster—7.5% back in Kohl's Cash versus the standard 5% for non-cardholders.

Spend $600 on your Kohl's Card in a calendar year and you unlock Most Valued Customer (MVC) status, which gives you free shipping year-round with no minimums, plus extra birthday perks and special offers.

Doorbusters are limited-quantity deals on specific items during big sale events like Black Friday or holiday weekends. They're advertised as “while supplies last” and usually feature deep discounts on popular categories—think small kitchen appliances, toys, or seasonal apparel.

These deals run for a short window (sometimes just a few days) and sell out quickly, so early shopping—either online right when the sale starts or in-store at opening—gives you the best shot at snagging them.

Big-name athletic and premium brands like Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, and Levi's are usually excluded from percentage-off discounts. Electronics, toys, select home brands like Dyson, beauty products (especially Sephora at Kohl's), and gift cards also fall under the exclusion list.

You can still earn and redeem Kohl's Cash on excluded items, and some Kohl's-owned brands recently became coupon-eligible again after previous exclusions were reversed. Look for electronic shelf signs in-store or the product page online—it'll tell you if an item is excluded.

Friends & Family is a recurring sitewide sale that happens about five times per year, where you get up to 20% off nearly everything (some brand exclusions still apply). These events run for a few days and cover both online and in-store shopping.

Past Friends & Family windows have landed in early spring, late summer, mid-fall, and mid-December, so they hit different shopping seasons. It's one of the few times you might catch a discount on harder-to-mark-down categories.

Kohl's Rewards is free to join and gives you 5% back in Kohl's Cash on every purchase (or 7.5% if you use a Kohl's Card). Your rewards accumulate each month and are paid out on the 1st of the following month as Kohl's Cash, which you have 30 days to spend.

There are no points to track—just straightforward cash back. The program replaced the old Yes2You points system to simplify things and put more Kohl's Cash directly into shoppers' wallets.

Kohl's doesn't follow a strict weekly markdown schedule like some retailers, but stores generally restock after weekends—so Tuesday through Thursday mornings are solid times to browse clearance and catch new markdowns that rolled out.

Online, flash deals and short-term promotions can drop any day of the week. If you're hunting for a specific item, checking midweek gives you a better chance of finding restocked sizes and colors before the weekend shopping surge clears inventory again.
