If you placed too many Prime Day orders or end up with unwanted purchases, it’s possible to get rewarded for your Amazon returns.

The big picture: Amazon said its two-day sale, which ended Wednesday, was its “biggest ever” with Prime members worldwide saving more than $1.7 billion. Still, it’s inevitable that shoppers will end up sending some items back.

Yes, but: The e-commerce giant has several options for “return-eligible items” but completing the returns at Kohl’s stores offers another perk — free Kohl’s Cash.

What’s happening: Kohl’s confirmed to Axios that it is currently giving a “$5 Kohl's Cash promotional gift for Amazon returns nationwide.” Past promotions have included percent off coupons.

Of note: If you have one return or many, you'll typically get one Kohl's coupon per store visit.

Flashback: Kohl's started accepting Amazon returns nationwide in July 2019.

Between the lines: The Amazon return counters are typically in the back of the store — and in the case of two-story locations on the second floor — which makes those with Amazon returns walk through the store, increasing the chances they'll make a purchase.

What they're saying: Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData’s retail division, told Axios that Kohl’s accepting Amazon returns is helpful in driving traffic to stores.

Most items fulfilled by Amazon will qualify for a free return option, the retailer says.

How it works: All return options are shown in the Returns Center on the website or the Amazon app.
