Thumpersmom--not sure about in your area altho I would think rules are the same everywhere, when you get your new card, you get either 10 or 15% off your first purchase. They really promote this w/new store openings. That's when I got mine. And it's true about every 6 to 8 weeks I get a card in the mail w/a min of 15% off your purchase. Sometimes they'll give up to 30% off. And if you forget your coupon, Kohl's will usually give you the min discount if you use your card during the sale timeframe. Also lots of times they'll advertise a $10 gift card for every $50 you spend..which is easy to do around vacation time, back to school, Easter and Christmas. I love Kohl's...
it's my favorite place to shop for clothes and household stuff.
