Cabela's Credit Card Review
2.3 / 5
- Initial bonuses could be a money-losing proposition. The Cabela’s Mastercard Credit Card gives you a $20bonus after account approval, which is pretty paltry, compared to what the average card with a cash back bonus doles out: $228. Plus you canearn an additional $10 by making at least five non-Cabela’s purchases and another $10 after two Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's purchases within 30 days of opening your Cabela’s Mastercard account, for a total of $40.But let’s say those purchases amount to a total of $150. Between the first$10 bonus and the card’s standard 1% cash back earning rate, you’d get $21.50, bringing your overall bonus to just $41.50.
- Ongoing rewards only worthwhile for Cabela’s and Bass Pro purchases. You will earn the points equivalent of 2% cash back on purchases made at Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops. That’s OK but nowhere close to what the best store-affiliated credit cards will give you. Plus, all other purchases made with your Cabela’s Credit Card will yield just 1%, which is actually below the market average for a rewards card.
- APR could be really good or really bad. The Cabela’s Card could have an APR which is above the 18.04% average for excellent-credit credit cards, according to WalletHub’s latest Credit Card Landscape Report and it could also be much higher than the 24.12% average for good-credit credit cards. It all depends on your creditworthiness. And if your credit isn’t perfect, you should probably plan for a rate toward the high end of the range, just to be safe. That means you should pay your bill in full every month when using the Cabela’s Mastercard.
- You need good credit to get the Mastercard. The Cabela’s Club Mastercard, as it is more officially called, requires good or excellent credit for approval. You can get a sense of whether you’ll qualify by checking your credit score for free on WalletHub. Not getting the Cabela’s Club Mastercard wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, though. You can earn 2% back on all Cabela’s purchases by simply getting the Cabela’s Member Rewards Card, which isn’t a credit card and doesn’t require a credit check. So the modest bonuses are all you’d really be missing.

@hannah_london
The Cabela's Credit Card's starting credit limit is $300. And if you're particularly creditworthy, your credit limit might bea lot higher than that.
The Cabela's Credit Card credit limit that you start with isn't necessarily your credit line forever. You can ask for a credit limit increase by calling the number on the back of your card. Also, the issuer will evaluate your account periodically to determine if you're eligible for a higher limit. The best thing you...

Terrible customer service. Contacted me in Arizona about fraud on my Cabela's card, told me I would get a new card in 2 to 3 days but nothing came. Called them back, they told me it was sent to Idaho, which I never got. Called them again, they wanted $16 to send me a card in 2 to 3 days in Arizona. Total rip-off. Canceled the card. Don't waste your time with them. I don't think I will buy much from Cabela's again; they are way overpriced.

I've been a Cabela's Credit card holder since 1998. I loved this card for years for the points I received and the excellent customer service I was provided. for 24 years, I have religiously paid off every bill on time and in full. Last month, I must have misplaced the bill and noticed that I had a balance and a service fee for late payment. No problem, I'll just call, get the late payment fee waived and go from there. I was asked at least 6 times during the conversation if I would/ could pay the minimum amount due ($76) over the phone right now. I asked them to look at my payment history several times. I felt like they thought I was a deadbeat ( I had full intention of paying the full amount due as soon as we hung up via my online banking). I asked how I cancel my card. They said they could do it right over the phone. Really?? They knew I was a 24 year member. Wouldn't you think they might ask "Can I ask why you would want to cancel?" I was so PO'd I hung up on them. My plan is to get my Cabela's points in a gift card and dump the card as soon as I can. Love that place for so long....

Absolutely horrendous company! Was just on the phone with Customer Service for at least 20 minuets. Call dropped, then had to call again. Agent wasn't that friendly, but she did mention that they are unable to call you back. Ended it with her, and called again. Got a friendly agent, and was on the phone with her for about 35 minuets. Having a hard time making my payment every month, so was looking for assistance. Not only did I waste almost an hour, the only option was to make my payment higher. Now, other then the ridiculous interest rates, I know even more that they just don't care about people. Note: Account was previously maxed out by a nephew I was trying to help. Will no longer support Cabelas, or Bass Pro Shops.

Horrible Company.... Purchased an auto warranty for 5 years for my Dodge Ram pickup. Paid total amount with my Cabela's Capital One card. Company that sold the auto warranty went out of business. Called Cabela's Capital One to file a dispute to get the remander of my money back and Cabela's Capital One basically told me "tough luck" and they say they can't help with filing a dispute!!!!!! What B.S. I just got taken for over $1500 dollars. Thanks Capital One....They will lie and tell you anything to get you to sign up for their card. BEWARE !!!!

Left wing liberal spokespeople are reason enough to never do business with this company, Capital One. I am canceling this card even though I am a fan of Cabela’s and do business with the company on a regular basis. I just use my American Express. Guess what is not in my wallet?

If it was possible to give a worst rating, I would...a points system that I can't use towards the balance of the credit card? No worries, I'll pay off balance, and cut up the card! I go to a service provider that isn't as deceptive.
