Published: 2026-08-13. Last modified: 2026-08-13. Yes, Kohl's offers cashback through ShopBack in the US as a percentage of eligible orders. The portion of an order paid with Kohl's Cash or gift cards does not qualify, and several brands and products are excluded; the current rate is on the live ShopBack Kohl's page. ## Key facts - Category: Department Stores - Founded: 1962 - Headquarters: Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin - Parent company: Kohl's Corporation - Official site: https://www.kohls.com ## What is Kohl's? Kohl's is an American department store chain whose first department store opened in 1962 in Brookfield, Wisconsin, growing from a grocery business started by Maxwell Kohl in Milwaukee. The chain sells apparel, footwear, accessories, home goods, and beauty across US stores and on kohls.com. Kohl's operates under Kohl's Corporation, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker KSS and is headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. As of August 2026 the company runs more than one thousand stores across nearly every US state and pairs its stores with in-store Sephora at Kohl's beauty shops. ## What is Kohl's known for? Kohl's is known for value-focused apparel, footwear, accessories, home goods, and beauty sold in suburban department stores and on kohls.com. The catalog spans national brands, exclusive labels, and Kohl's own brands, with in-store Sephora at Kohl's shops adding prestige beauty to the mix. - Womens, mens, and kids apparel from national and exclusive brands - Shoes, accessories, and activewear across price tiers - Home goods, bedding, bath, and small kitchen basics - Own and exclusive brands such as Sonoma Goods for Life, Croft and Barrow, and Tek Gear - Sephora at Kohl's prestige beauty shops inside stores - Seasonal decor, toys, and gifting during holiday windows ## Current cashback rate Percentage back on eligible Kohl's orders, with exclusions; see the live rate on ShopBack. Live rate: see the current Kohl's rate on ShopBack. A checked rate appears here once the hourly rate check has fresh data; the binding rate is always the one on the Kohl's page at www.shopback.com. Kohl's cashback on ShopBack is a percentage of eligible orders. Cashback is calculated only on the balance paid by card or cash: any amount paid with Kohl's Cash, gift cards, vouchers, promo credits, or store credit does not qualify, and if the eligible balance is zero the order earns no cashback. Excluded products include Apple, Beats, JLab, Crocs, BISSELL, video game systems and gaming products, and Kohl's Cares items. The live rate is on the ShopBack Kohl's page. ## How do you save money at Kohl's? Start every kohls.com order from the Kohl's page on ShopBack, because clicking through first is what lets an eligible order track and earn a percentage back on the balance paid by card or cash. Activation costs nothing and takes one click before you shop. Understand how Kohl's Cash interacts with cashback: the portion of an order paid with Kohl's Cash, gift cards, or store credit does not earn ShopBack cashback, so only the card or cash balance qualifies. Kohl's follows a featured-only coupon policy on ShopBack, so codes featured on ShopBack stack, while other promo codes can void the cashback for the order. Time bigger purchases to Kohl's recurring events. The earn-and-redeem Kohl's Cash windows, Friends and Family sales, and Black Friday bring the strongest pricing, and Kohl's Rewards members earn on qualifying purchases. The calendar below lists the annual pattern rather than fixed dates. ## Kohl's deals, discounts and sales: what stacks with cashback? The strongest Kohl's deals are usually not codes at all: a Kohl's sale or sitewide discount stacks with cashback automatically, because cashback is calculated on the discounted price you actually pay, and an upsized cashback rate works like an extra sitewide discount on top. To see today's Kohl's deals in one place, open the Kohl's page on ShopBack: the current cashback rate, any featured discount codes, and upsized offers are listed together there. This page does not maintain its own Kohl's sales list, because offers change too fast for a static page to stay honest. ## How to earn cashback at Kohl's 1. Start at ShopBack: Open the merchant page on ShopBack (site, app, or browser extension) and click through to the merchant. 2. Shop in the same session: Complete the purchase on the merchant site without visiting other coupon or deal sites in between, so the order tracks to your ShopBack account. 3. Wait for tracking: Cashback appears as pending in your ShopBack account, usually within 2 days of the order. 4. Withdraw your cashback: Once the merchant confirms the order (after the return window closes), the cashback becomes withdrawable to a bank account or PayPal. ## When are the best times to buy at Kohl's? - Presidents Day and spring sales (February into March): Storewide markdowns on apparel and home cluster around Presidents Day weekend and early spring resets. - Kohl's Cash events (Recurring through the year): Earn Kohl's Cash during qualifying windows, then redeem it during a later spending window on a future order. - Back-to-school (Mid July into September): Kids apparel, shoes, and backpacks at promotional prices as families prepare for the school year. - Black Friday and Cyber Monday (Late November): Deepest markdowns of the year on gifts, apparel, and home, with online-first Cyber Monday pricing. - After-Christmas clearance (Late December into January): Holiday decor, coats, and seasonal stock hit final markdowns as the floor turns over for spring. ## How does Kohl's compare with alternatives?
