This discussion should probably be moved to the Kohls thread... Here are my 5 ct: From an accounting standpoint, you need to book in the price you actually pay. So your buy-in is what's on the receipt. Hence, I like buying stuff for personal use with my KC. The problem with that is that Kohl's base price is routinely (much) higher for stuff than elsewhere and you can't use coupons if you use KC. Especially with the tight window for KC redemption, you often overpay a bit. Hence, for my purchase decision, I value KC at 60%. So if I'm buying something for 100 and earn 20 KC, my mental buy in price is 88. If thats a good deal, I buy.

The way I use KC is pretty straightforward. I see the total amount in my cart, then apply KC. Whatever I end up paying after KC will be my base cost for the sets in the order. If this is not good enough discount for me, then I am not buying. Whatever KC earned from this order will be applied to next order. Rinse & repeat. Admittedly this is NOT the best way to get 100s of items. But I am not a big fish in the pond 🐠

Not to go down too much of a rabbit hole and I'm not trying to convince folks not to shop in Kohls because I agree, there are some good deals to be had and there's probably ways to minimize the dilution but I just don't want folks to think that the % off is the same as initial purchase. Here is an example I whipped up, it's simplistic and only looks at purchasing 1 set on two separate occasions. The first purchase yields a net discount of 47.4% but if you apply the KC/KR to the same set later (at the same sale price), then your discount ends up being only 23.9%. Granted this is a worst case scenario and overall, still getting a 35.7% discount for both (which is nothing to scuff at) but it's not as good as the initial discount (which gets diluted regardless of what you spend it on). Not to hijack this thread for this and happy to discuss this on a separate thread as I personally love to run numbers but just wanted to make folks aware since it's not that obvious at first blush.

Not 20% so won't get picked up by Max but first time on sale plus 10% CB https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B094RF7GWQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Generally I'd agree with you, I'm always cautious with Kohls. But last month was a static 20% off and they had multiple rounds you could earn cash and use kohls cash on the same discounted sets. I haven't seen that happen much before, it made for some outstanding deals. This current promotion I expect should overlap another sale opportunity as Christmas shopping and deals get into full swing. Now the problem I've had is that I could spend the Kohls Cash earned on more sets but I could also use it on personal purchases/ necessities. Make your sets look better on paper vs getting stuff you need or want for free/cheaper...

@Pseudoty Don't ever doubt my predictive powers..

Disneyshop has a handful of sets at 20% off, plus Rakuten has 10% today as well. Probably the main one is the Ice Castle, which makes it a net effective discount of ~20% Vs the original price (pre-price increase)

Really off-topic: If he is happy, what is the concern?!?

30% Kohls cash ($15 for $50) starts at midnight. Good to see the sales back on.

Kohls has most (maybe all) the same sets on sale again for the Black Friday deals. For those of you that have Kohls Cash to burn: https://www.kohls.com/search/toys.jsp?CN=Department:Toys&search=lego&spa=5&kls_sbp=06846394105279148602141194614435457490&pfm=search refine&sks=true&PPP=48&S=7

This is nice

Hold in my opinion. LEGO needs to do better with these VIP rewards. No bricks, no bite from me.

Just got off the phone with Kohls.com as was not able to check out. They are having some major glitches with their website at the moment. When I try and checkout, it loops around and logs me out each time. Said I could place an order in the store though.
