Money Tips

If you're a Kohl's Rewards member, then you know receiving Kohl's Cash is one of the golden ways to save at the retailer. Typically you earn Kohl's Cash and have to wait until a redemption period to use it. However during their very first Kohl's Cash Ultimate Giveaway, which ran in September 2024, shoppers received Kohl's Cash coupons to use on eligible purchases that same day.

Traditionally, shoppers earn $10 Kohl's Cash on a $50 purchase, but there are special times throughout the year when they increase that to $15 Kohl's Cash on a $50 purchase. But for this event, shoppers get $5 Kohl's Cash as they walk through the store doors, no purchase necessary.

We'll dive into how and where to use this Kohl's Cash and the most effective way to stack Kohl's Cash with a coupon.

Kohl's Cash Ultimate Giveaway is a once-a-year, 3-day event, distributing instant-use Kohl's Cash to shoppers in store.

There are a lot of Kohl's sales, but 2024 was the first time the retailer hosted a Kohl's Cash Ultimate Giveaway. It was 3-day event during which shoppers received Kohl's Cash that could be used immediately (same day) on eligible purchases in store. Traditional Kohl's Cash is earned in $10 increments for every $50 spent, but there's a specific redemption period involved, so you have to wait for those dates in order to use the Kohl's Cash. During the giveaway event, Kohl's Cash had to be redeemed immediately that day with no waiting, but only in store.

KCL predicts the next Kohl's Cash Ultimate Giveaway will start Friday, Sept. 5, 2025.

Get your hands on some quick Kohl's Cash for use the very same day you receive it during the Kohl's Cash Ultimate Giveaway. We expect this promotion to return in September 2025.

How do we make our prediction?

Because this event has only happened once, we have very limited information on which to base our prediction. However, considering the success of the first Kohl's Cash Ultimate Giveaway, we expect similar timing for the 2025 event (in 2024 it ran from Sept. 6 - 8).

Receive Kohl's Cash as you walk into the store, no purchase necessary.

Normally you have to spend $50 to receive $10 in Kohl's Cash. However, during the Kohl's Cash Ultimate Giveaway, shoppers receive these $5 Kohl's Cash coupons as they walk into the store, while supplies last, no purchase necessary. Just remember that this special Kohl's Cash coupon must be used in store the same day you receive it.

The Kohl's Cash is only available while supplies last.

These Kohl's Cash coupons are available while supplies last, with no publicly defined number of coupons available at each store. To err on the side of caution, we suggest getting to your Kohl's store earlier rather than later during the event.

Tips for Shopping the Event

You have to use the Kohl's Cash the same day you receive it, and only in store.

This event is not for those who like to tuck away coupons for a rainy day. The Kohl's Cash Ultimate Giveaway is only happening in stores, and you have to redeem the Kohl's Cash you receive that same day. You'll only be able to use it on an in-store purchase. So if you were thinking about bringing that Kohl's Cash coupon home with you and then applying it to an online purchase, unfortunately that won't work.

Stack a 20% off Kohl's coupon with your Kohl's Cash.

During the 3-day event, there's also a 20% off Kohl's coupon in play. You can stack this with your Kohl's Cash. Just know that the Kohl's Cash will be deducted from your total first, and then the 20% off coupon will be applied to eligible purchases.

Shop sales in store, not online, in order to redeem your Kohl's Cash.

Kohl's will be running a bunch of sales over the weekend of Sept. 6 - 8, 2024, to help stretch your Kohl's Cash even further. And while the sales will also be available online, the Kohl's Cash giveaway is only happening in store, and the Kohl's Cash you receive can only be redeemed in store. So you'll need to head to Kohl's IRL.

Know what's excluded from Kohl's Cash before you head in store.

As with anything in life, there are some exclusions when it comes to using your Kohl's Cash. The following won't apply when you hand over that sweet, sweet coupon:
