What happened to this thread? Been dead for 3 months.

Talk about a gamble with the 40% code and the KC that starts on 11/17. Hopped on chat to see if I could get solid clarification on the end time for the mystery code and this is why I got:
The mystery promo-code is valid only today 11/16/17 till 11:59 PM CST. I was also told the 11/17 start KC will start at 12:00am CT on 11/17. Don’t know if I want to wait it out and chance the loss of the 40% code and possibly blow the ability to utilize the 30% also since it’s end date is today.

The redemption period, on the other hand, seems to last until the clock strikes midnight PT (2:00 a.m. CT), along with expiring promo codes. (YMMV)

During this two-hour window, it does appear that there is an overlap when expiring KC can be applied to expiring promo codes (again, YMMV), as well as to new sale prices and Doorbusters and incoming promo codes.

Although I’ve seen it reported that new Kohl’s Cash becomes active @12 midnight ET, my experience has been that it doesn’t become active until midnight CT, at which time it can be applied to any eligible incoming or outgoing sales and coupons.

I want to utilize the mystery codes on the 16th with the KC that starts the 17th along with the 30% and $10 off $50 home code. Have any experience with how late the mystery codes run? Can they be treated like all other lapsing codes that seem to end at 2am CT just like the VETSDAY code did this time around or do they end at 12am CT promptly usually since they are Mystery codes?

My experience has been that there is no difference between a published promo code and a randomly-generated, unique mystery code, as far as being able to squeeze a few extra hours out of expiring codes goes, and being able to overlap them with new codes.

Likewise, for stretching out the redemption period of KC and Y2Y Rewards; although, I don’t think that I’ve ever pushed my luck with Y2Y Rewards – once Y2Y expires, it’s gone; whereas, one can (currently) utilize a courtesy grace period in-store for a few days after KC expires, after which, it, too, is gone forever.

The only things that I’ve seen consistently expire at midnight CT are the KC earn periods and sale prices; although, if one missed the cutoff time by mere seconds or minutes, it is likely that Kohl’s Customer Service would honor both, if asked.

You mentioned your desire to utilize both a 30% and a (20%-30%-40%) mystery code with the upcoming $10 off $50 Home code…

Just to clarify: Kohl’s allows a maximum of four coupon codes per purchase, which could include a combination of up to four department-specific $-off and/or %-off codes per purchase, but only one site-wide $-off and one site-wide %-off code per purchase. Therefore, you wouldn’t be able to stack a 40% site-wide mystery code with a 30% site-wide promo code—you would have to choose one or the other.

The 30% and $ off was prior to knowing about the Mystery code on the 16th. I know you can’t use multiple % off codes unless they are actually offering the extra % off per department. Which they won’t be allowing mystery codes to be used alongside the 30% code. Although then some of the over priced items they have may actually meet other retailers daily prices with that combination. LOL

@scgt1 asked:

Is there any blending with KC expirations (like their promos) or do they kill it right away? I have KC that starts on 11/17 – can it be used in the late hours of 11/16 during the code blending kill off time frame when expiring codes can be used with new codes for a select short while?

Based solely on my own experiences:

The earn period for KC ends when the clock strikes 12:00 midnight CT, along with any expiring sale prices.

The redemption period, on the other hand, seems to last until the clock strikes midnight PT (2:00 a.m. CT), along with expiring promo codes. (YMMV)

During this two-hour window, it does appear that there is an overlap when expiring KC can be applied to expiring promo codes (again, YMMV), as well as to new sale prices and Doorbusters and incoming promo codes.

Although I’ve seen it reported that new Kohl’s Cash becomes active @12 midnight ET, my experience has been that it doesn’t become active until midnight CT, at which time it can be applied to any eligible incoming or outgoing sales and coupons.

That’s the key right there. LOL I want to utilize the mystery codes on the 16th with the KC that starts the 17th along with the 30% and $10 off $50 home code. Have any experience with how late the mystery codes run? Can they be treated like all other lapsing codes that seem to end at 2am CT just like the VETSDAY code did this time around or do they end at 12am CT promptly usually since they are Mystery codes?

I don’t think it was mentioned previously but Is there any blending with KC expiration’s (like their promos) or do they kill it right away? IE have KC that starts on 11/17 can it be used in the late hours of 11/16 during the code blending kill off time frame when expiring codes can be used with new codes for a select short while.

Another instance is the KC that ends on 11/22 yet the doorbusters start at 12:01am CT on 11/23 is there any extra carry over time or does the KC die exactly at 12am so any that dies at 11/22 will be dead for online use at the start of 11/23 (Doorbusters specifically the Blaze lol)

@scgt1 asked:

Is there any solid information on if the $10 off $50 Select Home promo code HOME10 (11/12 -11/19/2017) in the Kohl’s Promo thread will in fact be going on and during the slated timeframe?

Yes, the $10 off $50 coupon will be valid 11/12 - 11/19/2017. If you manually enter the code in your Wallet, it will immediately appear, but as pending, since today is only Nov 9.

I’ve had the Vet code in my Kohls app for several days and it just started showing up in my account on the website but I still don’t see the Home code.

Kohl’s will add codes to your Wallet as they come available, not when they are still in the near future (Kohl’s hasn’t put VETSDAY into my Wallet yet, and the promo starts at midnight tonight); however, customers can always add codes manually and, as long as a code will be available within a reasonable amount of time, the code will appear – but as pending, and the dates might not show.

Also does Kohl’s typically run home goods cheaper right now leading up to the $10 off code or do they actually put things on a “claimed” sale price during the promo?

I haven’t been able to get a solid grasp on how Kohl’s sets its pricing, but I have noticed that price changes tend to happen at the beginning and end of a 30% promotion (which usually end on a Sunday, unless a holiday is involved), as well as on a Thursday - Wednesday cycle, rather than the traditional Sunday - Saturday cycle.

Digital sale price signs provide a little information about a sale via a code in the upper right corner of the sign: there is a section about that in the opening post in the Official Kohl’s Thread, if you want to learn how to decipher the codes.

Moreover, prices change (and Kohl’s Cash ends) precisely at midnight CT (although, sometimes, promo codes remain valid through midnight PT – YMMV).

I have often been shopping during the last hours of a 30% campaign (along with countless others, judging by how slow the website is) and completed my purchase at midnight (missing the 11:59 cutoff), only to discover that the price of one or more of the items changed while the hourglass was spinning and the order was being transmitted.

More times than not, the price of a sale item increased, but a few times, the price decreased, and sometimes, a sale price even remained the same.

So I’m wondering if I should grab them during the Vet coupon or wait for the Home coupon since 30% is active during both.

Kohl’s has great return and price match policies: if you want to ensure that you get the best price, you could order your desired items during the first sale, then request a price adjustment if the items go on sale for less within two weeks (excluding clearance items).

However, if you applied a coupon to the first order and it is no longer valid, you will not be able to apply it to the price adjustment.

$10 off $25 storewide promos are rare.

@MisterCheap might have additional knowledge of how Kohl’s runs sales and adjusts prices around sales.

Thanks for the update. Really appreciate it.

Is there any solid information on if the $10 off $50 Select Home promo code HOME10 (11/12 -11/19/2017) in the Kohl’s Promo thread will in fact be going on and during the slated timeframe?

I’ve had the Vet code in my Kohls app for several days and it just started showing up in my account on the website but I still don’t see the Home code.

Also does Kohl’s typically run home goods cheaper right now leading up to the $10 off code or do they actually put things on a “claimed” sale price during the promo? Meaning something that is $46.99 everywhere else is $67.99 now on Kohl’s but has been off and on $67.99-$79.99 the past several weeks another item has been $119.99-$129.99 regularly. It was $119.99 prior to the 30% then it was jacked up to $129.99 when the 30% went into effect. Which of course is Kohl’s MO but I just started shopping with them this time last year so I’m not too keen on how they typically handle their pricing.

So I’m wondering if I should grab them during the Vet coupon or wait for the Home coupon since 30% is active during both.

Kohl’s promo codes for November 2017 are now posted on the Official Kohl’s Sales and Promo Codes Master Thread, @scgt1:

● 30% off online or in-store with pass, Kohl’s charge Nov 8-19

● Earn $10 Kohl’s Cash @$50 Nov 8-16

● Redeem Kohl’s Cash earned Oct 26-29 by Nov 7

The KC that you just earned will expire Nov 7; however, if you don’t make that cutoff, you can still spend it in-store for 10 days after expiration, which would enable you to combine it with your Y2Y Rewards, the 30% off promo, and the new KC earn period starting Nov 8 (you would just miss out on any $ cash back that you, otherwise, would have earned online).

Just be aware that, precisely at midnight CT Nov 7–> 8, prices will change online—usually, increasing significantly—so, you’ll want to calculate your estimated savings before Nov 8 to decide when/how you want to spend your KC.

Where did you find your Mystery Code generator? I’ve only seen one once, two 30% campaigns ago, but that website wasn’t offering any codes this last time around. :

I could always place a cheap order then return to store and it will issue new KC that will be good immediately to use up the one $10 KC I have which will end on the 7th. LOL

Offers.com It’s a PITA to get a 40% and involves a secured browser session each time you pull a code. Copy paste see if it’s 40% nope, new browser sessions copy paste nope, new browser session copy paste SCORE. Place order, new browser session copy paste ugh, new browser…

I might add I swear Kohl’s has started to CPU mine in the back ground on our computers too. It doesn’t matter what time of day or night I’m on their site. Can be after a fresh start up but it hogs my cpu when on FF or Edge. My fans are constantly cycling from the extra load being placed on the cpu. Once I leave their page it’s all good. This has only happened leading up to the holiday season (3 weeks ago maybe)

I can’t wait until the real sales start including BF their site has always been horrible once it goes live let alone them doing what ever it is that is causing the cpu load.

When I say load I’m meaning 75-85% utilization on my cpu (6600K) when only on their page and it cycles around up and down over and over the whole time I’m on their page and theirs alone.

I can have 20 tabs open and never use but 15-20% if that but if I just have one tab and Kohl’s open pfff forget about it. LOL I wish I could/knew how to prove what they are doing but it is becoming a big issue with many web sites using your cpu to mine coins when you visit their site.

@scgt1 asked @fivetalents:

Does anyone know off hand if Kohl’s runs 30% (even Mystery coupons) and $10 off $50 around BF or during Nov?

Last year, Kohl’s offered:

• $10 off $25 + $10 @$50 Kohl’s Cash November 4–8, 2016
• $10 off $25 on Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2016
• 30% off + $10 @$50 Kohl’s Cash November 9–17, 2016
• 15% off + Black Friday deals + $15 @$50 Kohl’s Cash + FS @$50 (reg. $75) online Monday, November 21–Friday, November 25, 2016, and in-store Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 24–Friday, November 25, 2016
• 30% off + $10 @$50 Kohl’s Cash followed Black Friday; I no longer have the dates, but the promo must have ended December 2, 2016, as there was a Mystery Code that day
• 25% off friends & family (reg. 20%) + FS @$50 December 6-10, 2016, overlapped with
• $5 off $5 one-time use emailed code, online-only December 7, 2016
• 30% off + $10 @$50 Kohl’s Cash & FS @$50 (reg. $75) December 11–24, 2016, with an overlapping Mystery Code December 12, 2016, and $15 off $50 in-store only, one-time use emailed code December 13–24, 2016

Kohl’s October 2017 promotions have all matched the values and timing of Kohl’s October 2016 promotions, so one should reasonably expect the above promotions to, likewise, be repeated in November (and December) 2017.

Kohl’s has just leaked its Black Friday ad for 2017: it will, once again, start the Monday before Thanksgiving (November 20, 2017) online, and in-store Thanksgiving evening (November 23, 2017), with once-a-year $15 KC for every $50 spent during the Black Friday Sale.

I’ll also have some KC coming this weekend when I return my 30% orders for 40% reorders which KC was used on several of them.

Wow! 40% reorders? How are you managing to score that sweet deal?

Man so the $10 KC I earned today won’t be good when the 30% kicks off. Oh well. LOL At least all the Y2Y that will convert can be used during the 30%. It looks like they were offering FS on at least the 11-13 of Nov and may possibly have offered it continuously until at least Dec 20 as I had several orders during that time frame that show shipping was free. Or then again it could have been free for all those orders because it met the minimum as stated above by MISTERCHEAP.

The 40% codes I used to reorder the items I got at 30% were from a mystery code generator.

Does anyone know off hand if Kohl’s runs 30% (even Mystery coupons) and $10 off $50 around BF or during Nov? I can’t remember how they ran these promos last season. I have a load of Y2Y that will be converting the start of the month and a list of things I have bookmarked and I’m just wondering the best time to pick these things up. I’ll also have some KC coming this weekend when I return my 30% orders for 40% reorders which KC was used on several of them. f

Dang missed me this time around.
