Kohl's Military & Veteran Discount

15% off in store every Monday for military, veterans, retirees, and immediate family — verified by showing ID at the register (plus 30% around Veterans Day).

Kohl's thanks the military community with "Military Mondays" — 15% off qualifying purchases in store, every Monday of the year. It's open to active-duty service members, veterans, retirees, and their immediate family members. Just bring valid ID to the register; there's no app, code, or online sign-up.

Two things to know up front: the discount is in-store only (it does not work on Kohls.com), and it's Monday-only. Around Veterans Day, Kohl's typically raises the offer to 30% off for a two-day window — most recently November 10–11, 2025.

HOW TO REDEEM

Online at www.kohls.com

Not available online
The Kohl’s military discount is in-store only and is not valid on Kohls.com. Kohl’s does not offer an online military-verification path (no ID.me, SheerID, or GovX).
Use general online savings instead
For online savings, join the free Kohl’s Rewards program and watch for public coupons and Kohl’s Cash events open to all shoppers.

In store

Shop on a Monday
Shop at any Kohl’s store on a Monday — the discount applies only on Mondays year-round (plus the Veterans Day window).
Tell the cashier and show ID
Present proper identification: a military ID card, a state-issued ID indicating veteran status, or Form DD 214. Immediate family members redeem in store with qualifying identification — confirm the exact ID accepted with the store.
Stack Kohl’s Cash first
If you’re paying with Kohl’s Cash or dollar-off coupons, the cashier applies those first, then takes 15% off the remaining qualifying balance.

HOW IT WORKS

There is no online verifier and no account requirement. Verification happens in person at checkout: you show a military ID card, a state-issued ID marked with veteran status, or Form DD 214. Because there’s no third-party service (ID.me/SheerID/GovX), there’s nothing to enroll in ahead of time — but you must have acceptable physical ID with you each time you redeem.

The best way to deepen the discount is to stack Kohl’s Cash and dollar-off coupons, which are applied before the 15% is taken. You cannot combine it with another percent-off coupon (including the senior discount), so on a given trip, compare which one saves more. The 15% is Monday-only; plan trips accordingly.

Around Veterans Day, Kohl’s has run an enhanced 30% in-store offer for a short window (Nov 10–11 in 2025). That’s a recurring seasonal pattern rather than a guaranteed year-round term, so re-check Kohl’s for the current year’s dates and rate. Kohl’s Rewards (free) earns Kohl’s Cash you can then stack.

Exclusions & fine print

Cannot be combined with other percent-off coupons, including age-specific (e.g., senior) discounts. Dollar-off coupons and Kohl’s Cash are applied before percent-off coupons (so Kohl’s Cash stacks, but is deducted first).
Not valid on: price adjustments; Kohl’s credit card account payments; taxes; shipping/handling; gift cards; Kohl’s Cares charitable items; Sephora at Kohl’s; and other coupon-ineligible brands/categories.
In-store only — the discount is not valid on Kohls.com, and it applies only on Mondays (plus the Veterans Day window).
The Veterans Day 30% coupon is "Limit one per customer," valid in store only on the stated dates. The 15% Monday discount has no stated per-order or annual cap in the official source.

Source priority. We cite Kohl's FAQ and its corporate Veterans Day post (which reproduces the Military Mondays terms verbatim) first. The 15% Monday in-store discount, in-person ID requirement, and 30% Veterans Day window (most recently Nov 10–11, 2025) are quoted from those pages; the Veterans Day rate/dates are a recurring seasonal promo confirmed for 2025, so re-verify each year. Confirm current terms on kohls.com on the "Last verified" date above.
