Kohl’s doesn’t have a teacher discount, so showing a school ID won’t take anything off your total. What does save you money is cash back: buy a Kohl’s e-gift card through Fluz and get 7.5% back, or click through Rakuten or TopCashback and get 2% back on your order. Fluz is the better deal for most people, and you can use the card in the store or online.
Kohl’s also hands every shopper a few savings of its own: a 15% off code for signing up to its emails or text alerts, a free Kohl’s Rewards account that earns 5% back, and Kohl’s Cash coupons during promotions. They’re covered below, along with how they mix with cash back.
How To Get The Kohl’s Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher rate to claim, so here’s how to get the cash back instead. Pick the route that fits how you shop.
- Fluz, for 7.5% back: buy a Kohl’s e-gift card through Fluz in any amount from $10 to $500, then spend it at Kohl’s. The card works in store and online.
- Rakuten, for 2% back: join, click through to Kohl’s from Rakuten and check out as usual.
- TopCashback, for 2% back: join, empty your Kohl’s cart first, click through from TopCashback and then add your items.
Cash back rates move, so look at the percentage on the page before you buy a card or click through, and check the total at checkout before you pay.
What Doesn’t Earn Cash Back
Rakuten and TopCashback both skip gift card purchases, so buying the Fluz card through one of their links won’t earn you a second reward. Both also leave out jewelry priced at $2,000 or more and Kohl’s Cares items. TopCashback pays on the item price only, so taxes, shipping and other fees earn nothing, and it voids your cash back if you use a coupon code it doesn’t show.
Kohl’s Cash is the one to watch. If you spend Kohl’s Cash on an order, TopCashback cancels your cash back and Rakuten pays nothing on the part of the order that Kohl’s Cash covers. If you plan to use it, the Fluz gift card is the easier fit.
Other Ways To Save At Kohl’s
Signing up for Kohl’s emails or text alerts gets you a coupon code for 15% off your next order. Kohl’s Cash comes at $10 for every $50 you spend during promotional periods, and you spend it on a later order during the redemption dates. Kohl’s Rewards is free to join and earns 5% back on purchases.
Two in-store days might apply to you or someone you shop with. Shoppers 60 and older get 15% off in store on Wednesdays, and on Mondays active military, veterans and their families get 15% off in store. Neither day is a teacher offer, and they’re in-store only.
Whether the sign-up code and click-through cash back can be used on the same order isn’t clear. TopCashback voids cash back when you use a code it doesn’t display, so check its terms before you count on both.
