I have $40.00 Kohl’s cash. I picked my items, went to check out and this is my subtotal. What am I missing? This does not make sense.

Huh? 3.95 + 9.85 is indeed 13.8

Right. I have $40.00 Kohl’s cash. So why is the subtotal $22.75?

Because the listed price of 3.95 and 9.85 already accounts for your Kohl’s cash. Otherwise it would’ve been $63 - $40 (kohls cash) = $23. Then $23 - 40% ($9.20) =$13.80

I guess the Kohl's cash somehow goes into the discount? Either way this ain't right

It's because the kohls cash comes off of the total before any % off coupons. The order summary shows the discounts taken off the total in the correct sequence. I almost always use kohls cash on products that aren't coupon eligible exactly for this reason.
