and learn the best way to check your Kohl’s gift card balance and turn your remaining amount into cash!

How Do Kohl’s Gift Cards Work?

Like any other gift card, a Kohl’s gift card is a substitute for cash. You can use it at any Kohl’s store or on their website to buy products you like.

Kohl’s gift cards are not reloadable. If you spend the amount on the gift card, it will automatically become invalid.

  • The card does not have any expiration date, so you can use it whenever you like
  • Discounts, promotional offers, or coupons can not be combined with a gift card
  • Gift cards cannot be used to buy other gift cards
  • In case of a lost or damaged card, you can request a replacement card if you provide proof of purchase

If you have checked your balance and have some amount remaining on your gift card, here are a few ways to make the best out of it:

  • Spend every single cent—What better way to use a gift card than to spend every last penny on it? You don’t need to worry that the purchase won’t go through if the amount on your gift card is too small. You can add a debit or credit card to pay the rest
