The Kohl's Friends & Family Sale: When to Expect the Next One

During the Kohl's Friends & Family sale you can use a promo code at checkout to get an extra 20% off your order. Plus, you can earn $10 Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent. Both work online, in app, and in Kohl's stores.

The promo code and Kohl's Cash stack makes this sale worth planning around rather than browsing.

We last saw this sale in August, and we expect the next one near the end of September.

However, there are few things to know before you shop: select brands are excluded from the promo code, free shipping kicks in at $49, and your Kohl's Cash is redeemable after the event ends.

Here's how to shop the sale, plus our favorite Kohl's Friends & Family deals.

The Kohl’s Friends & Family Sale happens about five times a year, with a coupon code good for 20% or 25% off.

The Kohl’s Friends and Family sale happens several times a year and lets you earn $10 Kohl’s Cash for every $50 you spend in a single transaction. There’s also a special promo code available during the sale that gives you at least 20% off your entire order, but sometimes that goes up to 25% off. (There are some exclusions, and we’ll get to those in a minute.) The Kohl’s Cash deal and the promo code work online and in stores.

KCL predicts the next Kohl's Friends & Family Sale will run Sept. 28 - Oct. 1

The Kohl's Friends & Family Sale usually has a pattern. There's usually a spring sale, at least one summer sale, a fall sale, and a winter sale. We predict the next one (the fall sale) will start the last Monday of the month, like it did last year.

Use the sale's coupon for 20% - 25% off your entire order, including sale and clearance items.

The special promo code available during the Kohl’s Friends & Family Sale gives you a percentage off your entire order, including sale and clearance items. You can use the Kohl’s Friends and Family coupon code in-store and online. You can expect the discount to range from 20% - 25%. It's the December sale that usually gets you the full 25% off, but we're seeing it back for this spring sale.

If you’re planning to shop in-store, check your Kohl’s Wallet online or your mailbox for the Kohl’s flyer.

Watch for exclusions to the Friends & Family Sale 20% off coupon.

There's a list of brands that Kohl’s coupons won’t work for. Since you use a coupon to get the Friends and Family discount, that means you’ll have to watch out for the brand exclusions. Below are some items that won’t be eligible for the Friends and Family discount:

• Columbia

• Converse

• Crocs

• Gift Cards

• Instant Pot

• Koolaburra by Ugg

• Nike

• Toms

• All Beauty and Fragrance Items

See the full list of exclusions here.

You’ll earn $10 Kohl’s Cash on top of the sale and extra savings.

Like most Kohl’s sales, the savings don’t end with the advertised percentage off. You’ll also rack up some Kohl’s Cash based on how much you spend.

During every Friends & Family Sale, you’ll earn $10 Kohl’s Cash for every $50 you spend in a single transaction, either online or in-store. The only catch is that you can’t spend your Kohl’s Cash until the current earning period ends and the next redemption period begins. But typically, you’ll only have to wait a few days, or at most a couple of weeks, to cash in on your earnings.

Use that Kohl's Cash to elevate your savings.

If you have Kohl's Cash in your back pocket during any sale, not just Friends & Family, it can easily be used as an extra savings boost. Remember, you only have 30 days to use your Kohl's Cash (during the dates specified on your Kohl's Cash reward), so there's no need to hoard the stuff.

For example, let's say you want a set of $11.99 The Big One Sheets during a sale, and you have $10 Kohl's Cash to spend. Use that to bring your total down to $1.99.
