We couldn’t confirm a teacher discount at Kohl’s. ID.me’s page for the store says, “We are not aware of Kohl’s offering Teachers community discounts,” and we found no teacher program to point you to. Savings do exist, though. Fluz pays 7.5% back on Kohl’s gift cards, Rakuten and TopCashback each list 2%, and both of those sites mention a 15% off code for signing up to Kohl’s email or text alerts.
Kohl’s describes itself as a leading omnichannel retailer. The first Kohl’s department store opened in Brookfield, Wisconsin, in 1962, and Kohls.com launched in 2001. Today the company says it serves millions of families in more than 1,100 stores in 49 states, online and through the Kohl’s App. With that many doors and a website, there’s usually a way to use whichever cash back route you pick.
How To Get The Kohl’s Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher verification to complete, so a school ID won’t change the price at the register. The savings come from cash back and from the store’s sign-up code, and the best route depends on how you like to pay.
Fluz pays the most. You buy a Kohl’s e-gift card through Fluz, in amounts from $10 to $500, and Fluz lists 7.5% cash back on it. The card is redeemable in store and online, so it works whichever way you shop. Rates move, so check the percentage on the Fluz page before you buy.
Rakuten and TopCashback both list 2%, and you earn it by clicking through to Kohl’s from their sites and checking out as usual. Rakuten leaves out jewelry priced at $2,000 or more, Kohl’s Cares merchandise, and any part of an order paid for with Kohl’s Cash. TopCashback calculates its 2% on the item price only, so taxes, shipping and other fees earn nothing. It also wants an empty cart when you click through, and it lists any coupon code it doesn’t display as an exclusion.
Kohl’s Cash is a coupon the store hands out during select promotions, and TopCashback says that using it invalidates your cash back. If you plan to spend Kohl’s Cash on an order, the Fluz card is the better fit, since Fluz’s own store page suggests combining its cash back with discounts and Kohl’s Cash.
Both Rakuten and TopCashback also describe a 15% off code you get by signing up for Kohl’s emails or text alerts. We haven’t confirmed whether that code and a click-through cash back can be used on the same order, and TopCashback’s exclusion for undisplayed coupon codes makes it worth reading the terms before you count on both. Buying the Fluz card through a TopCashback click-through won’t earn a second reward, since TopCashback excludes gift card purchases.
Q&A
Does Kohl’s give teachers a discount?
Not one we could confirm. ID.me says it isn’t aware of Kohl’s offering Teachers community discounts.
What’s the best cash back rate at Kohl’s?
Fluz lists 7.5% on Kohl’s gift cards, against 2% on Rakuten and 2% on TopCashback. Check each page when you click through, since rates change.
Can I use Kohl’s Cash and still earn cash back?
Not through TopCashback, which says using Kohl’s Cash invalidates your cash back. Rakuten excludes the part of an order paid for with Kohl’s Cash.
Is there a code for signing up?
Rakuten and TopCashback both say signing up for Kohl’s emails or texts gets you a coupon code worth 15% off. Read the cash back terms first, since TopCashback excludes codes it doesn’t display.
How much can I put on a Kohl’s gift card through Fluz?
Fluz lists Kohl’s e-gift cards from $10 to $500, redeemable in store and online.
Does TopCashback pay on a gift card purchase?
No. TopCashback lists purchases of gift cards as an exclusion, so buying a Kohl’s card through its link earns nothing from it.
