Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business . Conn’s is a leading specialty retailer that offers a broad selection of quality, branded durable consumer goods and related services in addition to a proprietary credit solution for its core credit constrained consumers. We operate an integrated and scalable business through our retail stores and website. Our complementary product offerings include furniture and mattresses, home appliances, consumer electronics and home office products from leading global brands across a wide range of price points. Our credit offering provides financing solutions to a large, under-served population of credit constrained consumers who typically have limited banking options. We operate two reportable segments: retail and credit. Our retail stores bear the "Conn’s" or "Conn’s HomePlus" name and deliver the same products and services to a common customer group. All of the retail stores follow the same procedures and methods in managing their operations. Our retail business and credit business are operated independently from each other. The credit segment is dedicated to providing short- and medium-term financing for our retail customers. The retail segment is not involved in credit approval decisions. Our management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the operating results of the retail and credit segments. Basis of Presentation . The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements of Conn’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, we do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise described herein. The condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. The balance sheet at January 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 , filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 1, 2015. Variable Interest Entity. In September 2015, we securitized $1.4 billion of customer accounts receivables by transferring the receivables to a bankruptcy-remote variable-interest entity (the "VIE"). The VIE issued asset-backed notes at a face amount of $1.12 billion secured by the transferred portfolio balance, which resulted in net proceeds to us of approximately $1.08 billion , net of transaction costs and restricted cash held by the VIE. The net proceeds were used to pay down the entire balance on our revolving credit facility, to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock and Senior Notes, and for other general corporate purposes. We currently hold the residual equity of the VIE, which we are in the process of marketing. We may elect to retain all or a portion of the residual equity of the VIE if that is determined to be in our best economic interest. We also plan to execute periodic securitizations of future originated customer loans. We retain the servicing of the securitized portfolio and have a variable interest in the VIE by holding the residual equity. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE because (i) our servicing responsibilities for the securitized portfolio give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and (ii) our variable interest in the VIE gives us the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant. As a result, while holding all or a significant portion of the residual equity of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE within our financial statements. If we sell all or a significant portion of the residual equity, we will assess if the transaction achieves sale treatment for accounting purposes, which may result in deconsolidation of the VIE. There is no assurance that we will complete a sale of all or a portion of the residual equity of the VIE, and there is no assurance we will achieve sale treatment. No timetable has been set for completion of this process. As a result, we have determined that the securitized portfolio does not meet the criteria for treatment as an asset held for sale, which would require recording at the lower of cost, net of allowances, or fair value. We have not made an adjustment to the customer accounts receivable balance as a result of the transaction or in anticipation of any gain or loss that may occur should a sale of the residual portion of the VIE be completed. Refer to Note 6, Debt , and Note 8, Variable Interest Entity , for additional information. Principles of Consolidation . The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Conn’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the VIE. Conn’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a holding company with no independent assets or operations other than its investments in its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Fiscal Year. Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to a fiscal year refer to the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends. Accounting Policies. The complete summary of significant accounting policies is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 . Use of Estimates . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Supplemental Cash Flow Information. The following table provides additional cash flow information: Nine Months Ended (in thousands) 2015 2014 Non-cash investing and financing activities: Capital lease asset additions and related obligations $ 2,187 $ 304 Property and equipment purchases not yet paid $ 2,391 $ — Supplemental cash flow data: Cash interest paid $ 29,200 $ 11,913 Cash income taxes paid, net $ 21,393 $ 58,363 Restricted Cash. The restricted cash balance as of October 31, 2015 includes $83.5 million of cash we collected as servicer on the securitized receivables that was remitted to the VIE and $ 14.4 million of cash held by the VIE as additional collateral for the asset-backed notes. Earnings per Share . Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the potential dilutive effects of any stock options and restricted stock units granted, which is calculated using the treasury-stock method. The following table sets forth the shares outstanding used for the earnings per share calculations: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Weighted average common shares outstanding - Basic 35,704 36,265 36,175 36,203 Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units — — 519 725 Weighted average common shares outstanding - Diluted 35,704 36,265 36,694 36,928 For the three months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 , the weighted average number of stock options and restricted stock units not included in the calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect was 867,000 and 744,000 , respectively. For the nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 , the weighted average number of stock options and restricted stock units not included in the calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect was 173,000 and 92,000 , respectively. Customer accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts. Customer accounts receivable reported in the consolidated balance sheet includes total receivables managed, including those transferred to the VIE and those receivables not transferred to the VIE. Customer accounts receivable are originated at the time of sale and delivery of the various products and services. Based on contractual terms, we record the amount of principal and accrued interest on customer receivables that is expected to be collected within the next twelve months in current assets with the remaining balance in long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Customer receivables are considered delinquent if a payment has not been received on the scheduled due date. Accounts that are delinquent more than 209 days as of the end of a month are charged-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts and interest accrued subsequent to the last payment is reversed and charged against the allowance for uncollectible interest. In an effort to mitigate losses on our accounts receivable, we may make loan modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. In our role as servicer, we may also make modifications to loans held by the VIE. The loan modifications are intended to maximize net cash flow after expenses and avoid the need to repossess collateral or exercise legal remedies available to us. We may extend the loan term, refinance or otherwise re-age an account. We consider accounts that have been re-aged in excess of three months or refinanced as Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDR" or "Restructured Accounts"). We record an allowance for doubtful accounts, including estimated uncollectible interest, for our non-TDR customer accounts receivable that we expect to charge-off over the next twelve months based on our historical cash collection and net loss experience using a projection of monthly delinquency performance, cash collections and losses. In addition to pre-charge-off cash collections and charge-off information, estimates of post-charge-off recoveries, including cash payments, amounts realized from the repossession of the products financed and payments received under credit insurance policies are also considered. We determine allowances for those accounts that are TDR based on the discounted present value of cash flows expected to be collected over the life of those accounts. The excess of the carrying amount over the discounted cash flow amount is recorded as an allowance for loss on those accounts. Interest income on customer accounts receivable . Interest income is accrued using the interest method for installment contracts and is reflected in finance charges and other revenues. Typically, interest income is accrued until the contract or account is paid off or charged-off. We provide an allowance for estimated uncollectible interest. Interest income on installment contracts with our customers is calculated using the rule of 78s. In order to convert the interest income recognized to the interest method, we have recorded the excess earnings of rule of 78s over the interest method as deferred revenue on our balance sheets. This deferred interest will ultimately be brought into income as the accounts pay off or accounts amortize to the point that interest income under the interest method exceeds that which is being earned under rule of 78s. At October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 , there was $10.1 million and $11.2 million , respectively, of deferred interest included in deferred revenues and other credits and other long-term liabilities. We offer 12-month no-interest finance programs. If the customer is delinquent in making a scheduled monthly payment or does not repay the principal in full by the end of the no-interest program period (grace periods are provided), the account does not qualify for the no-interest provision and the terms of the account revert back to those of the executed installment contract resulting in interest over the entire term. Interest income is recognized based on our historical experience related to customers that fail to satisfy the requirements of the programs. We also offer 18- and 24-month equal-payment, no-interest finance programs to certain higher credit quality borrowers, which are discounted to their present value at origination, resulting in a reduction in sales and customer receivables, and the discount amount is amortized into finance charges and other revenues over the term of the contract. If a customer is delinquent in making a scheduled monthly payment (grace periods are provided), the account begins accruing interest based on the contract rate from the date of the last payment made, which is a higher rate than the discount rate. We recognize interest income on TDR accounts using the interest income method, which requires reporting interest income equal to the increase in the net carrying amount of the loan attributable to the passage of time. Cash proceeds and other adjustments are applied to the net carrying amount such that it always equals the present value of expected future cash flows. We typically only place accounts in non-accrual status when legally required. Payments received on non-accrual loans will be applied to principal and reduce the amount of the loan. Interest accrual is resumed on those accounts once a legally-mandated settlement arrangement is reached or other payment arrangements are made with the customer. At October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 , customer receivables carried in non-accrual status were $23.6 million and $13.7 million , respectively. At October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 , customer receivables that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $107.9 million and $97.1 million , respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments . Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized using defined hierarchical levels related to subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair value measurements as follows: • Level 1 – Quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 – Pricing inputs not quoted in active markets but either directly or indirectly observable • Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that have little or no transparency with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of customer accounts receivables, determined using a Level 3 discounted cash flow analysis using data from the recent securitization transaction, approximates their carrying amount. At October 31, 2015 , the fair value of our Senior Notes, which was determined using Level 1 inputs, was $218.6 million as compared to the carrying value of $227.0 million , excluding the impact of the related discount. At October 31, 2015 , the fair value of the VIE's Class A Notes and Class B Notes, which were determined using Level 2 inputs based on inactive trading activity, approximates their carrying value. Repurchase Program. On September 9, 2015, we announced that the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board of Directors") authorized a repurchase program of up to an aggregate of $75.0 million of (i) shares of the Company's outstanding common stock; (ii) 7.250% Senior Notes Due 2022 (the "Senior Notes"); or (iii) a combination thereof. During the three months ended October 31, 2015, we purchased 1.9 million shares of common stock, using $51.6 million of the $75.0 million repurchase authorization. Additionally, we utilized $22.9 million of the repurchase authorization to acquire $23.0 million of face of value of our senior notes. As a result of the bond repurchases, we had a loss on extinguishment of approximately $0.5 million, primarily due to the write-off of related deferred costs. On November 2, 2015, we announced that the the Board of Directors authorized an additional $100.0 million towards the repurchase program for purchase of shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, Senior Notes, or a combination thereof. Subsequent to October 31, 2015, we purchased 3.3 million additional shares of common stock, using $80.6 million of the $100.0 million repurchase authorization. Common stock repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, at management’s discretion, based on market and business conditions. We have no obligation to repurchase shares under the authorization, and the timing and value of the shares that are repurchased will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including the price of the Company's common stock. We may suspend or discontinue repurchases at any time without notice. Stockholders' Rights Plan. On October 6, 2014, we adopted a stockholders' rights plan whereby the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock to stockholders of record on October 16, 2014. On September 2, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the Company’s stockholder rights plan, and the rights plan was terminated, effective September 10, 2015. Related Party Transactions. From time to time, we have engaged Stephens Inc. to act as our financial advisor. Stephens Inc. and its affiliates beneficially own shares of our common stock and one of our Board of Directors, Douglas H. Martin, is a Senior Managing Director of Stephens Inc. On March 31, 2015, we announced that we had engaged Stephens Inc., as a financial advisor to assist us with the process of pursuing a sale of all or a portion of the loan portfolio, or other refinancing of our loan portfolio. The disinterested members of our Board of Directors determined that it was in the Company’s best interest to engage Stephens Inc. in such capacity to assist us in analyzing and advising us with respect to the opportunity. The engagement of Stephens Inc. as financial advisor was approved by the independent members of our Board of Directors after full disclosure of the conflicts of interests of the related parties in the transaction. Douglas H. Martin did not participate in the approval process. During the three months ended October 31, 2015 , we paid Stephens Inc. a success fee of $1.1 million as a result of the close of the securitization transaction. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which provides a single comprehensive accounting standard for revenue recognition for contracts with customers and supersedes current guidance. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, entities are required to recognize revenue using the following comprehensive model: (1) identify contracts with customers, (2) identify the performance obligations in contracts, (3) determine transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date , which defers the effective date of ASU 2015-14 by one year and allows early adoption on a limited basis. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and will result in retrospective application, either in the form of recasting all prior periods presented or a cumulative adjustment to equity in the period of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact the new standard will have on our financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which focuses on a reporting company’s consolidation evaluation to determine whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and allows early adoption, including adoption in an interim period. We early adopted ASU 2015-02 beginning with the quarter ended July 31, 2015, which did not have an impact to our financial statements. Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year fiscal year amounts to conform to the presentation in the current fiscal year. On the consolidated statement of operations, delivery, transportation and handling costs is shown separately and was reclassified out of selling, general and administrative expenses. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, tenant improvement allowances received from landlords, changes in other accounts receivables and changes in deferred rents is shown separately and was reclassified out of changes in other assets and accrued expenses. These reclassifications did not impact consolidated operating income, net income, or net cash used in operating activities.

Certain of the closed or relocated stores had noncancelable lease agreements, resulting in the accrual of the present value of the remaining lease payments and estimated related occupancy obligations, net of estimated sublease income. Adjustments to these projections for changes in estimated marketing times and sublease rates, as well as other revisions, are made to the obligation as further information related to the actual terms and costs become available.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt and Letters of Credit	Debt Debt consisted of the following: (in thousands) October 31, January 31, Revolving credit facility $ — $ 528,112 Senior Notes 227,000 250,000 Class A Notes 767,751 — Class B Notes 165,900 — Other debt 2,708 933 Total debt 1,163,359 779,045 Less: Discount on debt (3,783 ) (4,635 ) Current portion of debt (830 ) (395 ) Long-term debt $ 1,158,746 $ 774,015 Senior Notes. On July 1, 2014, we issued $250.0 million of unsecured Senior Notes bearing interest at 7.250% , pursuant to an indenture dated July 1, 2014 (the "Indenture") among Conn’s, Inc., its subsidiary guarantors (the "Guarantors") and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The effective interest rate of the Senior Notes after giving effect to offering fees and debt discount is 7.8% . The Indenture restricts the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to: (i) incur indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, our capital stock; (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase debt that is junior in right of payment to the notes; (iv) make loans and certain investments; (v) sell assets; (vi) incur liens; (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (viii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. During any time when the Senior Notes are rated investment grade by either of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will be suspended, and we will cease to be subject to such covenants during such period. Events of default under the Indenture include customary events, such as a cross-acceleration provision in the event that we default in the payment of other debt due at maturity or upon acceleration for default in an amount exceeding $25.0 million , as well as in the event a judgment is entered against us in excess of $25.0 million that is not discharged, bonded or insured. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors. The only direct or indirect subsidiaries of Conn’s, Inc. that are not Guarantors are minor subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of any of the Guarantors to transfer funds to Conn’s, Inc. in the form of loans, advances or dividends, except as provided by applicable law. On April 24, 2015, the SEC declared effective the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 pursuant to which we exchanged the Senior Notes for an equivalent amount of 7.250% Senior Notes due July 2022 that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Exchange Notes"). The exchange offer was completed on June 1, 2015, and all of the outstanding Senior Notes were tendered in exchange for the Exchange Notes. The terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to the Senior Notes. During the three months ended October 31, 2015 , we repurchased $23.0 million of face of value of the Senior Notes for $22.9 million . As a result of the bond repurchases, we had a loss on extinguishment of $0.5 million , primarily due to the write-off of related deferred costs. In October 2015, the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, adopted, with the consent of the holders of a majority in the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes, the Second Supplemental Indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture"). Pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture was amended to extend, from May 1, 2014 to November 1, 2015, the beginning of the accounting period from which consolidated net income is calculated for purposes of determining the size of the "restricted payment basket" exception to the restricted payments limitation and to increase, from $75.0 million to $375.0 million , the dollar threshold exception to the restricted payments limitation. In November 2015, we paid approximately $3.8 million as an aggregate consent fee to the consenting holders of the Senior Notes. Such fee will be amortized over the remaining life of the Senior Notes. Asset-backed Notes. In September 2015, the VIE issued asset-backed notes at a face amount of $1.12 billion secured by the transferred customer accounts receivables and restricted cash held by the VIE, which resulted in net proceeds to us of approximately $1.08 billion , net of transaction costs and restricted cash held by the VIE. The net proceeds were used to pay down the entire balance on our previous revolving credit facility, to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock and Senior Notes, and for other general corporate purposes. The asset-backed notes consist of the following securities: • Asset-backed Fixed Rate Notes, Class A, Series 2015-A ("Class A Notes") in aggregate principal amount of $952.1 million that bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 4.565% and mature on September 15, 2020. The effective interest rate of the Class A Notes after giving effect to offering fees is 7.5% . • Asset-backed Fixed Rate Notes, Class B, Series 2015-A ("Class B Notes") in aggregate principal amount of $165.9 million that bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 8.500% and mature on September 15, 2020. The effective interest rate of the Class B Notes after giving effect to offering fees is 13.3% . The Class A Notes and Class B Notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. If an event of default were to occur under the indenture that governs the Class A Notes and Class B Notes, the payment of the outstanding amounts will be accelerated, in which event the cash proceeds of the receivables that otherwise might be released to the residual equity holder would instead be directed entirely toward repayment of the Class A Notes and Class B Notes. The holders of the Class A Notes and Class B Notes have no recourse to assets outside of the VIE. Events of default include, but are not limited to, failure to make required payments on the notes or specified bankruptcy-related events. Revolving Credit Facility. On October 30, 2015, Conn's, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Borrowers") entered into the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with certain lenders, that provides for an $810.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") under which availability is subject to a borrowing base. The amended revolving credit facility resulted in various changes, including: • Extended the maturity date from November 25, 2017 to October 30, 2018; • Increased the maximum total leverage ratio covenant (ratio of total liabilities less the sum of qualified cash and ABS qualified cash to tangible net worth) from 2.0 x to 4.0 x; • Added a new maximum "ABS excluded" leverage ratio covenant (ratio of total liabilities (excluding liabilities of the consolidated VIE and other permitted securitization transactions) less qualified cash to tangible net worth) of 2.0 x; • Replaced the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant with a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant of 2.0 x beginning with our fourth quarter of fiscal 2016; • Reduced the maximum accounts receivable advance rate from 80% to 75% ; • Included a fourth quarter seasonal step-down in the cash recovery covenant from 4.5% to 4.25% ; • Increased the maximum inventory component of the borrowing base from $100.0 million to $175.0 million ; • Modified the conditions for repurchases of the Company’s common stock, including changes in the liquidity test and the elimination of the fixed charge coverage ratio test; • Included a new liquidity test for repurchases and redemptions of our debt; and • Modified our ability to effect future securitizations of our customer receivables portfolio, including removing the consent rights of the lenders and establishing set criteria for permitted securitizations. In connection with entering into the amended revolving credit facility, we wrote-off $0.9 million of debt issuance costs related to the previous revolving credit facility for lenders that did not continue to participate. Also, we deferred $3.0 million of debt issuance costs, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the amended revolving credit facility along with the debt issuance costs remaining from the previous revolving credit facility. Loans under the amended revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.00% per annum (depending on quarterly average net availability under the borrowing base) or the alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum (depending on quarterly average net availability under the borrowing base). The alternate base rate is the greater of the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., the federal funds rate plus 0.5% , or LIBOR for a 30-day interest period plus 1.0% . We also pay an unused fee on the portion of the commitments that are available for future borrowings or letters of credit at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% per annum, depending on the outstanding balance and letters of credit of the revolving credit facility. The amended revolving credit facility provides funding based on a borrowing base calculation that includes customer accounts receivable and inventory, and provides for a $40.0 million sub-facility for letters of credit to support obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business. The obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured by substantially all assets of the Company, excluding the assets of the VIE. As of October 31, 2015 , we had immediately available borrowing capacity of $269.5 million under our revolving credit facility, net of standby letters of credit issued of $1.1 million . The revolving credit facility places restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens on assets, make distributions on equity interests, dispose of assets, make loans, pay other indebtedness, engage in mergers, and other matters. The revolving credit facility contains customary default provisions, which, if triggered, could result in acceleration of all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Debt covenants. We were in compliance with our debt covenants at October 31, 2015 . A summary of the significant financial covenants that govern our revolving credit facility compared to our actual compliance status at October 31, 2015 is presented below: Actual Required Leverage Ratio must not exceed maximum 1.96 to 1.00 4.00:1.00 ABS Excluded Leverage Ratio must not exceed maximum 0.65 to 1.00 2.00:1.00 Cash Recovery Percent must exceed stated amount 4.73% 4.50% Capital Expenditures, net, must not exceed maximum $27.7 million $75.0 million All capitalized terms in the above table are defined by the revolving credit facility, as amended, and may or may not agree directly to the financial statement captions in this document. The covenants are calculated quarterly, except for the Cash Recovery Percent, which is calculated monthly on a trailing three-month basis, and Capital Expenditures, which is calculated for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The revolving credit facility is a significant factor relative to our ongoing liquidity and our ability to meet the cash needs associated with the growth of our business. Our inability to use this facility because of a failure to comply with its covenants would adversely affect our business operations.

Contingencies	Contingencies Securities Class Action Litigation. We and two of our current executive officers are defendants in a consolidated securities class action lawsuit pending in the Southern District of Texas (the "Court"), In re Conn’s Inc. Securities Litigation, Cause No. 14-CV-00548 (the "Consolidated Securities Action"). The plaintiffs in the Consolidated Securities Action allege that the defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts about our business, operations, and prospects. They allege violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and seek to certify a class of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Conn’s common stock and/or call options, or sold/wrote Conn’s put options between April 3, 2013 and December 9, 2014. The complaint does not specify the amount of damages sought. On June 30, 2015, the Court held a hearing on the defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint. At the hearing, the Court dismissed Brian Taylor, a former executive officer, and certain other aspects of the complaint. The Court ordered the plaintiffs to further amend their complaint in accordance with its ruling, and the plaintiffs filed their Fourth Consolidated Amended Complaint on July 21, 2015. The remaining defendants filed a motion to dismiss on August 28, 2015. The briefing on the defendant’s motion to dismiss is fully briefed and pending with the Court. The defendants intend to vigorously defend against all of these claims. It is not possible at this time to predict the timing or outcome of any of this litigation. Derivative Litigation. On December 1, 2014, an alleged shareholder filed, purportedly on behalf of the Company, a derivative shareholder lawsuit against us and certain of our current and former directors and executive officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas captioned Robert Hack, derivatively on behalf of Conn’s, Inc., v. Theodore M. Wright, Bob L. Martin, Jon E.M. Jacoby, Kelly M. Malson, Douglas H. Martin, David Schofman, Scott L. Thompson, Brian Taylor, a former executive officer, and Michael J. Poppe and Conn’s, Inc., Case No. 4:14-cv-03442 (the "Original Derivative Action"). The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement, and insider trading based on substantially similar factual allegations as those asserted in the Consolidated Securities Action. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages against these persons and does not request any damages from us. The court approved a stipulation among the parties to stay the action pending resolution of the motion to dismiss in the Consolidated Securities Action, and the parties have requested that the Court extend the stay pending resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss. Another derivative action was filed on January 27, 2015, captioned, Richard A. Dohn v. Wright, et al., Cause No. 2015-04405, filed in the 281st District Court, Harris County, Texas. This action makes substantially similar allegations to the Original Derivative Action against the same defendants. The parties have entered into an agreed stay pending resolution of the motion to dismiss in the Consolidated Securities Action. On February 25, 2015, a third derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, captioned 95250 Canada LTEE, derivatively on Behalf of Conn’s, Inc. v. Wright et al., Cause No. 4:15-cv-00521. This action makes substantially similar allegations to the Original Derivative Action. On March 30, 2015, the plaintiffs in this action and the Original Derivative Action filed a joint motion to consolidate these two derivative actions, which is still pending. None of the plaintiffs in any of the derivative actions made a demand on our Board of Directors prior to filing their respective lawsuits. The defendants in the derivative actions intend to vigorously defend against these claims. Regulatory Matters. We are continuing to cooperate with the SEC’s investigation which generally relates to our underwriting policies and bad debt provisions. The investigation is a non-public, fact-finding inquiry, and the SEC has stated that the investigation does not mean that any violations of law have occurred. In addition, we are involved in other routine litigation and claims incidental to our business from time to time which, individually or in the aggregate are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As required, we accrue estimates of the probable costs for the resolution of these matters. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. However, the results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and changes in facts and circumstances could impact our estimate of reserves for litigation.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entity	Variable Interest Entity In September 2015, we securitized $1.4 billion of customer accounts receivables by transferring the receivables to the VIE. The VIE issued asset-backed notes at a face amount of $ 1.12 billion secured by the transferred portfolio balance. Under the terms of the securitization transaction, the customer receivable principal and interest payment cash flows will go first to the servicer and the holders of the Class A Notes and Class B Notes, and then to the residual equity holder. We retain the servicing of the securitized portfolio and are receiving a monthly fee of 4.75% (annualized) based on the outstanding balance of the securitized receivables, and we currently hold all of the residual equity. In addition, we will retain, rather than the VIE, all credit insurance income together with certain recoveries related to credit insurance and repair service agreements on charge-offs of the securitized receivables, which will continue to be reflected as a reduction of net charge-offs on a consolidated basis for as long as we consolidate the VIE. The following presents the assets and liabilities held by the VIE and that are included in our consolidated balance sheet: (in thousands) October 31, January 31, Assets: Customer accounts receivable: Customer accounts receivable $ 1,037,645 $ — Restructured accounts 104,614 — Allowance for uncollectible accounts (161,343 ) — Allowance for short-term, no-interest programs (16,414 ) — Total customer accounts receivable, net 964,502 — Restricted cash 97,924 — Deferred debt issuance costs 23,109 — Total assets $ 1,085,535 $ — Liabilities: Accrued interest $ 2,048 $ — Due to Conn's, Inc., net 2,434 — Deferred interest income 6,461 — Long-term debt: Class A Notes 767,751 — Class B Notes 165,900 — Total long-term debt 933,651 — Total liabilities $ 944,594 $ — The assets of the VIE serve as collateral for the obligations of the VIE.

Summary of Significant Accoun17

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Oct. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	Business . Conn’s is a leading specialty retailer that offers a broad selection of quality, branded durable consumer goods and related services in addition to a proprietary credit solution for its core credit constrained consumers. We operate an integrated and scalable business through our retail stores and website. Our complementary product offerings include furniture and mattresses, home appliances, consumer electronics and home office products from leading global brands across a wide range of price points. Our credit offering provides financing solutions to a large, under-served population of credit constrained consumers who typically have limited banking options. We operate two reportable segments: retail and credit. Our retail stores bear the "Conn’s" or "Conn’s HomePlus" name and deliver the same products and services to a common customer group. All of the retail stores follow the same procedures and methods in managing their operations. Our retail business and credit business are operated independently from each other. The credit segment is dedicated to providing short- and medium-term financing for our retail customers. The retail segment is not involved in credit approval decisions. Our management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the operating results of the retail and credit segments.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Basis of Presentation . The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements of Conn’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, we do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise described herein. The condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. The balance sheet at January 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 , filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 1, 2015.
Variable Interest Entity	Variable Interest Entity. In September 2015, we securitized $1.4 billion of customer accounts receivables by transferring the receivables to a bankruptcy-remote variable-interest entity (the "VIE"). The VIE issued asset-backed notes at a face amount of $1.12 billion secured by the transferred portfolio balance, which resulted in net proceeds to us of approximately $1.08 billion , net of transaction costs and restricted cash held by the VIE. The net proceeds were used to pay down the entire balance on our revolving credit facility, to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock and Senior Notes, and for other general corporate purposes. We currently hold the residual equity of the VIE, which we are in the process of marketing. We may elect to retain all or a portion of the residual equity of the VIE if that is determined to be in our best economic interest. We also plan to execute periodic securitizations of future originated customer loans. We retain the servicing of the securitized portfolio and have a variable interest in the VIE by holding the residual equity. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE because (i) our servicing responsibilities for the securitized portfolio give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and (ii) our variable interest in the VIE gives us the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant. As a result, while holding all or a significant portion of the residual equity of the VIE, we will consolidate the VIE within our financial statements. If we sell all or a significant portion of the residual equity, we will assess if the transaction achieves sale treatment for accounting purposes, which may result in deconsolidation of the VIE. There is no assurance that we will complete a sale of all or a portion of the residual equity of the VIE, and there is no assurance we will achieve sale treatment. No timetable has been set for completion of this process. As a result, we have determined that the securitized portfolio does not meet the criteria for treatment as an asset held for sale, which would require recording at the lower of cost, net of allowances, or fair value. We have not made an adjustment to the customer accounts receivable balance as a result of the transaction or in anticipation of any gain or loss that may occur should a sale of the residual portion of the VIE be completed. Refer to Note 6, Debt , and Note 8, Variable Interest Entity , for additional information.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation . The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Conn’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the VIE. Conn’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a holding company with no independent assets or operations other than its investments in its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation
Fiscal Period, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fiscal Year. Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to a fiscal year refer to the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share . Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the potential dilutive effects of any stock options and restricted stock units granted, which is calculated using the treasury-stock method. The following table sets forth the shares outstanding used for the earnings per share calculations: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Weighted average common shares outstanding - Basic 35,704 36,265 36,175 36,203 Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units — — 519 725 Weighted average common shares outstanding - Diluted 35,704 36,265 36,694 36,928 For the three months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 , the weighted average number of stock options and restricted stock units not included in the calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect was 867,000 and 744,000 , respectively. For the nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 , the weighted average number of stock options and restricted stock units not included in the calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect was 173,000 and 92,000 , respectively.
Receivables, Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Customer accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts. Customer accounts receivable reported in the consolidated balance sheet includes total receivables managed, including those transferred to the VIE and those receivables not transferred to the VIE. Customer accounts receivable are originated at the time of sale and delivery of the various products and services. Based on contractual terms, we record the amount of principal and accrued interest on customer receivables that is expected to be collected within the next twelve months in current assets with the remaining balance in long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Customer receivables are considered delinquent if a payment has not been received on the scheduled due date. Accounts that are delinquent more than 209 days as of the end of a month are charged-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts and interest accrued subsequent to the last payment is reversed and charged against the allowance for uncollectible interest. In an effort to mitigate losses on our accounts receivable, we may make loan modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. In our role as servicer, we may also make modifications to loans held by the VIE. The loan modifications are intended to maximize net cash flow after expenses and avoid the need to repossess collateral or exercise legal remedies available to us. We may extend the loan term, refinance or otherwise re-age an account. We consider accounts that have been re-aged in excess of three months or refinanced as Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDR" or "Restructured Accounts"). We record an allowance for doubtful accounts, including estimated uncollectible interest, for our non-TDR customer accounts receivable that we expect to charge-off over the next twelve months based on our historical cash collection and net loss experience using a projection of monthly delinquency performance, cash collections and losses. In addition to pre-charge-off cash collections and charge-off information, estimates of post-charge-off recoveries, including cash payments, amounts realized from the repossession of the products financed and payments received under credit insurance policies are also considered. We determine allowances for those accounts that are TDR based on the discounted present value of cash flows expected to be collected over the life of those accounts. The excess of the carrying amount over the discounted cash flow amount is recorded as an allowance for loss on those accounts.
Interest Income on Customer Accounts Receivable [Policy Text Block]	Interest income on customer accounts receivable . Interest income is accrued using the interest method for installment contracts and is reflected in finance charges and other revenues. Typically, interest income is accrued until the contract or account is paid off or charged-off. We provide an allowance for estimated uncollectible interest. Interest income on installment contracts with our customers is calculated using the rule of 78s. In order to convert the interest income recognized to the interest method, we have recorded the excess earnings of rule of 78s over the interest method as deferred revenue on our balance sheets. This deferred interest will ultimately be brought into income as the accounts pay off or accounts amortize to the point that interest income under the interest method exceeds that which is being earned under rule of 78s. At October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 , there was $10.1 million and $11.2 million , respectively, of deferred interest included in deferred revenues and other credits and other long-term liabilities. We offer 12-month no-interest finance programs. If the customer is delinquent in making a scheduled monthly payment or does not repay the principal in full by the end of the no-interest program period (grace periods are provided), the account does not qualify for the no-interest provision and the terms of the account revert back to those of the executed installment contract resulting in interest over the entire term. Interest income is recognized based on our historical experience related to customers that fail to satisfy the requirements of the programs. We also offer 18- and 24-month equal-payment, no-interest finance programs to certain higher credit quality borrowers, which are discounted to their present value at origination, resulting in a reduction in sales and customer receivables, and the discount amount is amortized into finance charges and other revenues over the term of the contract. If a customer is delinquent in making a scheduled monthly payment (grace periods are provided), the account begins accruing interest based on the contract rate from the date of the last payment made, which is a higher rate than the discount rate. We recognize interest income on TDR accounts using the interest income method, which requires reporting interest income equal to the increase in the net carrying amount of the loan attributable to the passage of time. Cash proceeds and other adjustments are applied to the net carrying amount such that it always equals the present value of expected future cash flows. We typically only place accounts in non-accrual status when legally required. Payments received on non-accrual loans will be applied to principal and reduce the amount of the loan. Interest accrual is resumed on those accounts once a legally-mandated settlement arrangement is reached or other payment arrangements are made with the customer. At October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 , customer receivables carried in non-accrual status were $23.6 million and $13.7 million , respectively. At October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 , customer receivables that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $107.9 million and $97.1 million , respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments . Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized using defined hierarchical levels related to subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair value measurements as follows: • Level 1 – Quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 – Pricing inputs not quoted in active markets but either directly or indirectly observable • Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that have little or no transparency with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of customer accounts receivables, determined using a Level 3 discounted cash flow analysis using data from the recent securitization transaction, approximates their carrying amount. At October 31, 2015 , the fair value of our Senior Notes, which was determined using Level 1 inputs, was $218.6 million as compared to the carrying value of $227.0 million , excluding the impact of the related discount. At October 31, 2015 , the fair value of the VIE's Class A Notes and Class B Notes, which were determined using Level 2 inputs based on inactive trading activity, approximates their carrying value.
Repurchase Program	Repurchase Program. On September 9, 2015, we announced that the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board of Directors") authorized a repurchase program of up to an aggregate of $75.0 million of (i) shares of the Company's outstanding common stock; (ii) 7.250% Senior Notes Due 2022 (the "Senior Notes"); or (iii) a combination thereof. During the three months ended October 31, 2015, we purchased 1.9 million shares of common stock, using $51.6 million of the $75.0 million repurchase authorization. Additionally, we utilized $22.9 million of the repurchase authorization to acquire $23.0 million of face of value of our senior notes. As a result of the bond repurchases, we had a loss on extinguishment of approximately $0.5 million, primarily due to the write-off of related deferred costs. On November 2, 2015, we announced that the the Board of Directors authorized an additional $100.0 million towards the repurchase program for purchase of shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, Senior Notes, or a combination thereof. Subsequent to October 31, 2015, we purchased 3.3 million additional shares of common stock, using $80.6 million of the $100.0 million repurchase authorization. Common stock repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, at management’s discretion, based on market and business conditions. We have no obligation to repurchase shares under the authorization, and the timing and value of the shares that are repurchased will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including the price of the Company's common stock. We may suspend or discontinue repurchases at any time without notice.
Stockholders' rights plan [Policy Text Block]	Stockholders' Rights Plan. On October 6, 2014, we adopted a stockholders' rights plan whereby the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock to stockholders of record on October 16, 2014. On September 2, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the Company’s stockholder rights plan, and the rights plan was terminated, effective September 10, 2015.
Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block]	Related Party Transactions. From time to time, we have engaged Stephens Inc. to act as our financial advisor. Stephens Inc. and its affiliates beneficially own shares of our common stock and one of our Board of Directors, Douglas H. Martin, is a Senior Managing Director of Stephens Inc. On March 31, 2015, we announced that we had engaged Stephens Inc., as a financial advisor to assist us with the process of pursuing a sale of all or a portion of the loan portfolio, or other refinancing of our loan portfolio. The disinterested members of our Board of Directors determined that it was in the Company’s best interest to engage Stephens Inc. in such capacity to assist us in analyzing and advising us with respect to the opportunity. The engagement of Stephens Inc. as financial advisor was approved by the independent members of our Board of Directors after full disclosure of the conflicts of interests of the related parties in the transaction. Douglas H. Martin did not participate in the approval process. During the three months ended October 31, 2015 , we paid Stephens Inc. a success fee of $1.1 million as a result of the close of the securitization transaction.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which provides a single comprehensive accounting standard for revenue recognition for contracts with customers and supersedes current guidance. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, entities are required to recognize revenue using the following comprehensive model: (1) identify contracts with customers, (2) identify the performance obligations in contracts, (3) determine transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date , which defers the effective date of ASU 2015-14 by one year and allows early adoption on a limited basis. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and will result in retrospective application, either in the form of recasting all prior periods presented or a cumulative adjustment to equity in the period of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact the new standard will have on our financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which focuses on a reporting company’s consolidation evaluation to determine whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and allows early adoption, including adoption in an interim period. We early adopted ASU 2015-02 beginning with the quarter ended July 31, 2015, which did not have an impact to our financial statements.
Reclassifications [Text Block]	Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year fiscal year amounts to conform to the presentation in the current fiscal year. On the consolidated statement of operations, delivery, transportation and handling costs is shown separately and was reclassified out of selling, general and administrative expenses. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, tenant improvement allowances received from landlords, changes in other accounts receivables and changes in deferred rents is shown separately and was reclassified out of changes in other assets and accrued expenses. These reclassifications did not impact consolidated operating income, net income, or net cash used in operating activities.
