Official Kohl's & More Deal & Chat Thread

Quote from mystic_halo : No, it was a $100 + full price jacket that she had purchased at a register just 2 mins back in the same store If she was so innocent she wouldn't have walked away. Anyway, no point arguing about her.... it is just that she was blatantly abusing KC system. The associate even told her that she would loose her KC since she knows how much she has paid and she won't be able to keep it, then she just snatched her jacket and walked away. You decide what she was trying to do.....

I wasn't trying to argue or anything just some people don't seem to understand how the lowest sale price sticker thing goes... unfortunately there are people who do shady stuff although I've never returned anything personally at Kohl's without a receipt.

guys check this out
everything is 60% off!!!!

Quote from mystic_halo : She bought it like 2 secs back at the register and then walked to CS straight to return it, hiding her receipt and KC coupon!! I heard the 3 associates there talking after she left that she was trying to keep her KC and lying abt the lost receipt... I was waiting to return some stuff... so i overheard.

Usedtobehidn is right, though. With or without receipt, the woman had the option of merchandise credit at some point. By returning without receipt, she stands the risk of: 1) getting less back for her return than she paid for it, and 2) being flagged for too many returns.
She could gotten what she paid plus the KC had she but waited til the earning period was over.
'Could have' being the operative words here. That option is going to disappear. And I'd imagine Kohls returns w/o receipt incidence is going to rise sharply. Bet they'll crack down like Target does, but it will be very much a negative, particularly for people who receive gifts and because of circumstance get little to nothing back. Doubt those guys will become Kohls converts, don't you?
Personally, Target's policy means I buy nothing there anymore for gifting, which in turn puts me in the store hardly ever.
People buying gifts tend to be less concerned about bargain shopping. From a finance perspective, they're taking out a top echelon of desired buyers.

I found 50% off in cart on some items at Christopher and Banks, but not getting any discount at cjbanks. Am I doing something wrong or is it already changed from this am?

I just checked Christopher & Banks and the items that were 60% off of $6.99 are now only showing 50% off when placed in cart. I didn't check CJ Banks.

Quote from koolestone : wats the target policy and how do u know if u r flagged for returns?

target's policy is no receipt, no return.
you may ask for a gift receipt. but have you ever thrown a kid's birthday party? even WITH someone to record the gifts/giftgivers for thank you notes, and numerous parents standing by to organize/collect gifts and gift bags and trash, gift receipts often disappear.
i buy elsewhere. rotten for a kid to be stuck with duplicate or otherwise non-fitting present.

and you know you're flagged if when you return with no receipt, you aren't given merchandise credit but have to wait for a check from corporate.
i found this out after i had the audacity to request a couple returns w/o recipts after i figured out that they were improperly discounting the return price on kohls cares merchandise. i had the receipts. had them with me. bought on my kohls card. but if you don't already know, any order discount is applied to the return price of kohls cares merchandise - even though that discount was not applied when you bought it. you get less than what you paid. only way to get around it is to return w/o receipt.

looks like with the way kohls is heading, i'll be hitting tj maxx a lot more often again.
probably good for me. net/net i ended up spending more at kohls, anyway.

It's a miracle since I'm never right

Seriously though I'm in the same boat with you on Target. I give a lot of gifts to different people and my gift giving from T and Walmart and Kmart is a big fat -0- now sine their return policy sucks and they look at you like you have 3 heads when you give them one. So most of my gifts are given from Kohl's and if the policy changes then more than likely I'll switch back to Macy's or Dillards or some place that does the little stickers on the items for returns. That way I don't have to worry about issues with the item being returned and whatnot. Speaking of that... why isn't Kohl's just switching to a system like that and putting any debate to rest over what was purchased and on what date and how much is due back on return. It would have solved the problem and not made all us loyal Kohl's shoppers heads spin. I also predict that Kohl's will quit showing so much in sales if the KC policy changes. That's just my 2c though but I along with some other friends think we saw the "Big Picture" In their KC deals and their expansion when other stores are striving to regroup and stay open. That's just my 2c.

Are these policy changes about kc/returns official? This is the first I am hearing of them. Does this mean that if we return something we bought that earned kc we will now lose it....even if we take merchandise credit? When is all of this going into effect? I guess toooo many people abused their policy so now they have to change it.....

Nothings official yet and the details haven't been completely released. I wouldn't worry yet but if there's something you need to take back that was part of a KC earn period then I wouldn't wait around on it personally.
