Update 10/22/20: Looks like Kohl’s is offering $5 Kohl’s cash on receipts when making Amazon returns.
Update 4/23/19: Starting July Kohl’s will be accepting Amazon returns at all stores. The press release states that eligible items will be eligible for a return, but doesn’t state what those eligible items actually are. Hat tip to MtM
Original post (October, 2017) Last month we shared a story about Kohl’s accepting Amazon returns in a pilot program. That program is now live across 10 select stores in Los Angeles & Chicago. Every participating store will have an ‘Amazon Smart Home Experience’ store within a store. When it was originally announced they stated 82 stores would be part of the pilot program, so I assume this a pilot program within the pilot program giving Amazon a store within a store. Frustratingly as far as I know Kohl’s hasn’t provided a list of where these 10 stores actually are.
$5 is pretty low.. they were doing $10 per return last month.. $5 barely covers the gas to get there
I got $5 kohl’s cash on my last return earlier this week–thought I just got lucky and won the return lottery. Had been getting a %off the other times I’ve returned something and those are pretty worthless for me, as I always seem to be getting %off codes via email anyway and at least those I can use online too and tie in a shopping portal.
Just got it today. Couple weeks ago got $10 Kohl’s cash. Other two times 40% off of something
Yes I got a $5 Kohl’s cash for an Amazon return a couple weeks ago. Prompted me to actually buy something for super cheap. I’m guessing Kohl’s wasn’t getting very much usage of the 25% coupons that were being generated before. $5 KC is more attractive to me as I can just pick up a small item for dirt cheap each time I need to make a return.

What…
Heard on NPR this morning Kohl’s gets nothing from Amazon & pays the return shipping costs themselves. Makes sense to me. I’m not a Kohl’s shopper, but I could absolutely see myself browsing & impulse buying during a return.
Wow, amazing deal for Amazon.
In this way, it is not going to last long.
I doubt they get no transaction fee from Amazon or a contract fee or some sort.
I know a lot of people come inside Kohl’s not knowing you can get awesome deals LOL
Amazon owns Kohls
Nope
All the times I’ve done an Amazon return at Kohl’s, the receipt confirmation they gave me contained a 20% Kohl’s coupon good for a week.
There are times during the year when Kohl’s shockingly doesn’t have a current %-off coupon, or times like Black Friday week where they have only 15% off. If they continue offering these 20% codes you could always do an intentional Amazon return to get one a few days before you need it to save a little more. Worked well during Black Friday last year.
Or get a 30% off of ebay for $1 or less. I wouldn’t process anymore needless returns than need be on Amazon as they track that activity and auto ban customers.
Kohl’s couponing lifestyle comes with Kohl’s Charge card LOL If not for Kohl’s Charge and ongoing 30% off monthly I won’t ever shop there
Here’s the official announcement: https://corporate.kohls.com/news/archive-/2019/April/kohl-s-announces-expansion-of-amazon-returns-to-all-kohl-s-store
It says this launches nationwide in July 2019, not on April 30, 2019.
As for the ‘eligible items’ part, Gizmodo thinks that just means items shipped from Amazon warehouses, only excluding items shipped directly by third-party sellers.
Thanks, updated
My guess is anything shipped by Amazon will be eligible. Worst case is it is only items sold by Amazon.
worst case is only a handful of items
Interesting… I wonder if eligible items will include those sold by third party sellers or just those sold by Amazon itself? Guess we’ll find out….John 3:16
