Kohl’s is one of the few big department stores that still runs a consistent, no-strings-attached senior discount. Fifteen percent off every Wednesday, just for being 60 or older. We’ve used it ourselves — Sarah picked up a winter coat and saved $22 just by shopping on the right day. No app to download, no coupon to clip, no loyalty program to sign up for. Just bring your ID.

Kohl’s Senior Discount at a Glance
- Discount amount: 15% off your entire in-store purchase
- Eligibility: Must be 60 or older
- Day: Every Wednesday
- Restrictions: In-store only; cannot be combined with other coupons or discounts
As one of the largest department stores in the country, Kohl’s runs a year-round senior discount program that consistently delivers real savings. Every Wednesday, shoppers aged 60 and older can take 15% off their total purchase — a straightforward offer with no complicated enrollment required.
How It Works
Bring proof of age and shop on a Wednesday. At checkout, let the associate know you are using the senior discount and the 15% will be applied to your total. No coupon clipping or app setup needed.
The discount is applied to your whole cart, but a few item categories are excluded.
Exclusions
The following items are not eligible for the Kohl’s senior discount:
- Gift cards
- Kohl’s Cares charitable items
- Sephora products
- Any items specifically flagged as ineligible in-store or on the Kohl’s website
For a complete list of excluded brands and items, check the Kohl’s exclusions page on their website before you shop.
Kohl’s Military Discount
Service members and their families qualify for a separate 15% military discount, available every Monday in-store. Eligible customers include active military personnel, veterans, and immediate family members. Acceptable identification includes a military ID, a state-issued ID reflecting veteran status, or a DD 214 form.
No Teacher Discount Currently Available
Kohl’s has offered limited-time teacher discounts in past years, including during the summer of 2021. As of 2026, no ongoing teacher discount program is in place. Check back periodically, as these promotions can return seasonally.
