Why does this charge appear?

When Kohl's processes a transaction through its point-of-sale or online checkout system, the payment network truncates the retailer's name to fit within the standard 25-character merchant descriptor field used by Visa and Mastercard, resulting in the shortened KOHLS* format you see on your bank statement. The asterisk following KOHLS is a common delimiter used by payment processors to separate the merchant name from any additional transaction details, such as a store number or regional identifier, that may follow it. If you recently made a clothing or home goods purchase at a Kohl's store location or on Kohls.com, the KOHLS* charge is almost certainly a legitimate transaction from that retailer.

Check Your Kohl's Rewards Activity

Save Your Kohl's Receipt for Records

Locate the email confirmation Kohl's sent for your order and save it alongside your bank statement showing the KOHLS* charge, so you have a clear record in case you need to reference the purchase for a return or future dispute.
