Monstermile Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 I am very diligent about using Kohl's Cash before it expires. Well I have $40 that I earned last week and there is absolutely nothing I want or need to purchase until Thursday because the items I want didn't go on sale on the site yet. My KC expires on Wednesday. What are the chances that I will still be able to use my KC either online or in store after the expiration date???
wittenlover Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 I know online I've had zero luck using expired KC, even a day later. Never tried in-store. Anybody you know need anything from Kohl's that you could use your KC on and have them pay you for it? (Just an idea.)

Wish there was a way to turn it into cash. Or at least store credit.
nikkilugi Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) My area Kohl's stores have gotten very strict on accepting Kohl's cash and will no longer accept expired cash. I also have $20 right now and am holding out hope that maybe something hits by Wednesday at an amazing price Edited November 21, 2016 by nikkilugi

I also have $20 right now and am holding out hope that maybe something hits by Wednesday at an amazing price One time I was in my local store they told me that they usually let it slide if it is less than a week. But I hate to chance it. If they had only put up the only two ad items I wanted early. They weren't doorbusters either.
Brad Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Maybe use it to buy something that rarely goes on sale (so you don't have to worry about getting shortchanged on your refund) and then return it to get store credit (that would have no expiration)? 1
Tara3117 Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 Kohl's has really cracked down on using Kohl's cash after the expiration date. I wouldn't chance it. If you're really having a hard time spending it, you can always buy baby clothes or new winter boots to donate. That's what I always do when there's nothing I want or need. 1
tinkrbel Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 No luck online, depends on the store. I have one locally that lets me use within a week last time I checked
chimeralife Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 Might be a good time to grab a couple Angel Tree gifts. Saw a couple decently priced toys on the presale. 1
cllehto Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 My friend has asked at customer service before and they have let her use expired Kohl's cash the following week- they say it can be used as long as the system accepts it.. I try to use mine before it expires. I usually buy washcloths or dish towels if I can't find something I want.Then I have a ready gift or something I can always use.
Monstermile Posted November 22, 2016 Author Posted November 22, 2016 Well I had to make a return today and the girl in CS says the Kohls cash info typically stays in the system for 10 days after it expires. They let people use it as long as it isn't more than a month. Online though no go.
hokie7373 Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 My wife worked for Kohl's until about 18 months ago. They used to have a policy that they would take KC no matter how out of date it was. Since she left the company they cracked down and the rule was you could not use it in store if it was expired. However, we have found that the policy is enforced differently store to store. Our local store will accept them in person for up to 7 days. I would ask at your local kohls what their policy is.

zip2play Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 My Kohls store has told me they allow kohls cash to be used up to 10 days after it expires

If you buy something that is 13.00, and use 10.00 Kohl's cash, then your receipt says a return value of 3.00.

Stowasser Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 I return some items that I paid with some kohls cash (like $3) and they gave me another kohls cash for that $3, can you ask for store credit instead of kohls cash?
m13april Posted November 27, 2016 Posted November 27, 2016 Just wanted to share my recent experience. I placed an online order and had it set for store pickup. I used Kohls cash. I didn't make it to the store before it was returned (one week I believe). It was automatically returned, and I received an email with the value in kohls cash with a new expiration date.
bribri25 Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 And my recent experience: I bought $160 in merchandise. Used $130 in KC, then 20% off coupon, then some in Gift Card and the rest on Credit Card. Decided to return one item and got back the portion (prorated) back on CC, and the rest back in KC, which is good for the next month, not expiring this weekend.
