What a Kohl's gift card gets you
The card spends across every Kohl's department — apparel, shoes, home, kids, toys, and the Sephora at Kohl's beauty shops inside most stores. Unlike a bank-issued prepaid card, there are no activation or per-purchase fees, and dormancy charges never whittle the balance down. Kohl's gift cards also pair with Kohl's Cash and Rewards stacking, which is where most of the value hides.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a sleeve or bought at any register. $5 to $500 per card via Kohls.com.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable online or shown in the app in store. $10 to $500 via Dyme; up to $500 via Kohls.com. Can be added to your phone wallet.
You can apply multiple Kohl's gift cards to a single transaction in store or online, with no documented cap, and combine them with Kohl's Cash and coupons.

Can I get a Kohl's gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Kohl's e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Costco or Sam's Club, in store. Periodic multi-pack Kohl's cards at a discount. Stock and pricing rotate and aren't always available. Physical only, club membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Kohl's cards from third parties, usually a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list partial balances.
- Kohl's Cash stacking, not a gift-card discount. Kohl's gift-card SKUs are normally excluded from promo codes, but Kohl's Cash and Rewards earned on the merchandise you buy with the card stretch the real value well past face.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Kohl's Rewards and Kohl's Cash at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single Kohl's gift card purchase through Dyme.
Credit-card rewards
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses.
- Capital One Venture X: 2x miles on essentially every purchase, including gift cards
- Citi Double Cash: 2% back on everything (1% when you buy + 1% when you pay)
- Amex Gold: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 4x dining and 4x groceries do not apply
- Chase Sapphire Preferred: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 3x dining and 2x travel do not apply
Kohl's Rewards
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: 5% back in Kohl's Rewards on every purchase
- Reward threshold: rewards convert to Kohl's Cash in $5 increments at month-end
Kohl's Rewards earns on the merchandise you buy with the gift card, not on the gift-card purchase. Scan your Kohl's Rewards account at checkout to capture it.
Dyme Miles
- Base rate: 1 Mile for every dollar
- Special rate: 5 Miles per dollar
- Expiration: never
- Blackouts: none
- Redeem on: over 2 million hotels and 600 airline partners
$100 Kohl's e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed by a Kohl's Rewards member
- Citi Double Cash: $2 back (2% of $100)
- Kohl's Rewards at redemption: 5% back — $5 in Kohl's Rewards on $100 of merchandise
- Dyme Miles on the purchase: 100 Miles (1 per dollar), or 500 on a special offer (5 per dollar)
Illustrative only. Card rates, brand-program terms, and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

How to buy in store
Any Kohl's register sells gift cards. Tell the associate the amount, pay with cash, card, or Kohl's Cash, and walk out with the card. There's no minimum and you can load any whole-dollar amount from $5 to $500.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club periodically run multi-pack Kohl's gift cards at a discount, with stock and pricing rotating. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, and Albertsons carry $25, $50, and $100 cards at face value. You pay no discount but earn the supermarket's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
Designs and personalization
Physical cards: multiple designs in the Kohl's catalog, including seasonal options for the holidays, birthdays, and graduation, with a sleeve and printed message available at checkout.
E-gift cards: multiple designs with a customizable subject line and recipient message.
