Kohl’s fans, get ready for the sweetest holiday surprise! This weekend, you could receive as much as $100 in Kohl’s Cash to use on your shopping trip—without having to spend a single penny. Find out more about this limited-time offer below and how you can earn the free money. And if you’re a new-to-Kohl’s shpper, learn how Kohl’s Cash works and everything you need to know about using toward your future purchases.
What’s this free Kohl’s cash giveaway all about?
Need a last-minute gift but want to stretch your holiday budget even further? Head to Kohl’s early this weekend! As part of month-long savings, the retailer is giving shoppers a chance to snag up to $100 in free Kohl’s cash when they head to the store on December 20 and 21.
How the giveaway works: The first 100 people who arrive at Kohl’s each day will receive a card (one per household) loaded with a surprise amount of Kohl’s cash ranging from $5 to $100. You must redeem it that day, but no purchase is necessary to get the freebie!
Since Kohl’s is giving out the cash on a first-come, first-served basis, you’ll likely want to plan your shopping trip for early in the day so you don’t miss out. Most of the retail stores open at 8 or 9 a.m., but check the hours of your local Kohl’s to confirm.
How does Kohl’s Cash work?

Love the idea of earning free money to use when you shop at Kohl’s? You’ll want to keep your eyes out for opportunities to collect! Throughout the year, there are advertised Kohl’s Cash events that give shoppers a chance to collect this store-specific cash reward for a limited time.
Generally, this is $10 for every $50 spent—after coupons but before tax—during that period. In fact, there’s an event going on right now where shoppers can earn that $10 in Kohl’s cash when they make a purchase through Christmas Eve.
The cash you earn can then be put toward your next purchase, allowing you to buy items at a significant discount!
Here’s what you need to know to make the most of your rewards: Kohl’s Cash comes with a limited spending window, so it must be redeemed by a certain date before it expires.
This expiration date is printed on paper versions of Kohl’s Cash (as seen above) and also mentioned in the app. This helps you keep track of the last day to use your cash rewards before you lose them!
More ways to earn Kohl’s Cash year-round
Kohl’s Cash events are the most common way to earn these perks, but it’s not the only opportunity you have. Signing up for the free Kohl’s rewards program online or at the register can lead to even more savings. (Tip: Use the same email address you use for your Kohls.com shopping account for ease of access.)
Loyalty members automatically earn 5 percent rewards on every purchase, which are then converted into $5 Kohl’s Cash increments on the first day of each month.
Like the savings events, the cash has an expiration date, so you’ll need to use the rewards cash within 30 days. You’ll receive the cash via email and if you have your Kohls.com account linked to your loyalty account, it will be automatically stored in your digital Kohl’s Wallet.
Want to keep track of your Kohl’s Cash balances? Opt in for Kohl’s Rewards emails. The company will use them to let you know when you have cash to spend.
Where can you spend your Kohl’s cash?
Whether you’re shopping for a special occasion or just looking to treat yourself, Kohl’s Cash makes it easier to save when you buy. Though you can use the rewards money both in-person and online, not all items are eligible. Here’s a list of what’s exempt from Kohl’s Cash:
- Gift cards
- Sephora at Kohl’s
- Kohl’s Cares charitable items
- Price adjustments
- Payments made toward a Kohl’s credit card
Otherwise, the choice is yours! Buy that luxury-inspired purse you’ve been eyeing or pick up a new air fryer or toaster oven for your kitchen. No matter what ends up in your cart, your free Kohl’s Cash means you’ll snag a great item for less.
