@dionaea said in Up to 40% off Mystery Code @Kohl’s thru Dec 04:
By taking the Kohls Cash off first, the discount is less. Here’s an example. I had $20 in Kohls Cash and a 40% off code. I bought 2 packs of Hanes men’s underwear which was a Buy One Get 50% Off the Second Pack (a tricksy way of not saying you’re just getting a 25% discount on each package) priced at $40 each and a ladies’ nightgown on sale for $21.99
Men’s Underwear $40
Kohls Cash - $9.75
40% off - $12.10
Men’s Underwear $20
Kohls Cash - $4.87
40% off - $5.05
Missy Sleepwear sale price $21.99
Kohls Cash - 5.38
40% off - $6.65
Subtotal $37.19
Now if this had been done with the 40% off taken first, it should have looked like this:
Men’s underwear $40
40% off - $16
Kohl’s Cash - $9.75
Men’s underwear $20
40% off - $8
Kohl’s Cash - $4.87
Missy Sleepwear $21.99
40% off - $8.80
Bal of $20 Kohls Cash - $5.38
Subtotal $29.19
So I paid an additional $8 because they deduct the Kohls Cash first and then the 40% code.
Always been that way. Which is why you can’t value the Kohls Cash at face value unless you are spending it on items when promo codes can’t be used.
The other suggestion is: Hot market for KCash on Ebay, say 10% off. Sell $100 in KC for $90, net about $78-80 after ebay fees, then have $78 in Cash to use when you get a 40% code, pay $60 for $100, have $18 left and earn new Kohls cash on that $60. You also do not earn Kohls Cash on the KCash portion, so you lose coming and going.
