I have actually never shopped there, so I can’t personally comment about how big of a deal this is, but the folks at SD seem pretty excited that you can now apply for a Kohl’s credit card online.

With the Kohl’s charge card, you’re eligible for for extra discounts 12 times a year, as well as savings on sale and clearance-priced merchandise. There is no annual fee. If you are approved instantly online, you will be provided with your account number that you can begin to use immediately. (Current discount codes include MVCPICKADAY valid for 15% off until March 12, and MVC4242 for free shipping.)
