Kohl's launched a new savings event in June 2025 called Instant Kohl's Cash. When you spent $25 or more online or in stores June 25 - 29, Kohl's gave you $10 in Kohl's Cash on the spot that you could use on that same transaction. That's different from the usual Kohl's Cash rules, where you have to wait to spend it on a future transaction.
This new event joins the regular Kohl's sale lineup of the Credit Event, the Friends & Family Sale, and the Kohl's Cash Ultimate Giveaway. It's a brand new event, so we're cautiously predicting it'll come back next year, but we're keeping an eye it, just in case it comes back sooner. Here's what to know about it so you can get your $10.

Instant Kohl's Cash is a new 5-day event where you get $10 Kohl's Cash to use on your transaction of $25 or more.
Kohl's began this event in June 2025, and Kohl's Cash works a little differently during this sale. Usually, when you earn Kohl's Cash, you have to wait until your next transaction to use it. Also, you generally earn $10 of Kohl's Cash for every $50 you spend.
But for this event, you get to use your Kohl's Cash on the same transaction. Also, you get $10 for spending just $25 (not counting Sephora purchases, gift cards, and Kohl's Cares).
KCL predicts the next Instant Kohl's Cash event will happen June 25, 2026, (but it could happen sooner),
How do we make our prediction?
Since the June 2025 sale was the first Instant Kohl's Cash event ever, we're not sure when we'll see it back or if it'll always be five days long. We're predicting this event will be annual, but we'll be keeping an eye out for it sooner.

You don't have to wait to get or spend your $10 Kohl's Cash.
Typically, when you earn Kohl's Cash on a purchase, you don't receive it right away and have to wait until your next transaction to use it. But for this event, you get your Kohl's Cash instantly, and you can use your Kohl's Cash right then and there, on the same transaction if you want.
Instant Kohl's Cash works on brands you normally can't use coupons for.
Only some brands are eligible for regular Kohl's coupons. Plenty are excluded, including Carter's and Nike. But you can redeem Kohl's Cash to buy those excluded brands. And that's the cool part about this event — because you're earning Kohl's Cash, you get to use that instant $10 on pretty much every brand Kohl's sells, even the ones excluded from coupons.
In other words, a normal $10 off coupon code won't work on excluded brands like Carter's and Nike. But the Instant Kohl's Cash totally does.
You have to spend $25 to get the Instant Kohl's Cash, and there are some limitations.
You can put pretty much anything in your cart to hit that $25 threshold, but there are a few exceptions: Sephora purchases, gift cards, and products from the Kohl's Cares kids' line.
