Cabela's Points now Worthless

[Mal Paso]

I needed 10 MTM ammo boxes and had $20 in Cabela's Points which should have cut the cost in half. They used to be $3.99, a few pennies over the $3.84 list price, they are now almost TWICE List Price at $6.99. Almost 3 TIMES THE COST at LA Police Gear.

The quality clothes are Gone. No more tall sizes. Time to get rid of their credit card too.

I agree about Cabela's.

Hint: Natchez has the "Hinged" plastic ammo boxes (by smart reloader) 50 rd and 100 rd, on clearance for around a buck each...but they are Pink/black. When I placed my order a few days ago, they only had 357m and 41m/44m left

First Herter's went away , then Sears and Western Auto , now Cabela's !
Soon it will be nothing but Amazon and the net...What a shame.

[Shawlerbrook]

Yes, Cabelas quality went down to Bass Pro rather than Bass Pro going up to Cabelas.

Order them from Midsouth, they have their hinged boxes pretty cheap.

When there about 1 month ago.. checked the website for meat lugs .. yes in stock
drove 40 miles to find out no meat lugs in stock .. store had been totally rearranged with 1/5 th the store now fishing gear
and yes the clothes are now cheap made not Cabela's quality.. doubt I will go there anymore

Don't know about Herter's or Western Auto but Sears knew 30 years ago this March that things we're going south and did almost nothing about it. I was working part time in Division 9 the tool department.

Cabela's in Triadelphia, WV has gone down hill very bad also. No reason for me to drive 1.5 hours.

Mentioned this post to my son this afternoon. He buys enough supplies in his building business on the Cabela's card and pays it off every month to account for 1000's of $ in free stuff from Cabelas. Says he's got the equivalent of $2500 in cash now and plans to buy a couple of nice guns. Probably not what Cabelas had in mind with there offer but that's what it is and he's taking advantage of it.

My last order from Cabelas was packed by an idiot. They zip tie the actions on lever guns closed. I am not buying a gun that I can't fully inspect. Their prices are crazy also. I think that I am done with Cabelas.

Sorry about your points, but the best ammo boxes are the ones sold by Dillon. It’s not even close. You can drop a loaded box from waist high onto concrete and it will survive. And they aren’t very expensive. They’re the only Dillon product I own.

If it's a Classic Cabela's card with 1% back he can get more money and get it in Cash too. Capitol One has made it impossible for me to use their web site. They REQUIRE a text to be sent to a cell phone and there is No Cell Service Here. I spent over an hour on the phone and there Is No Solution.

Remember when you called Cabela's Club and a nice person in the Midwest had you all fixed up in minutes?

Too late. While you were typing I was buying the same MTM boxes that were $6.99 at Cabela's for $2.99 from Natchez. Those Dillon look good though and pennies more than MTM. Look similar but not the same mold/manufacturer. Thanks!

Bass Pro has ruined Cabelas in many different ways
Wont deal on used guns
Raised prices
most bargain caves are gone
They may be good at fishing but really are terrible at selling guns and hunting supplies

[Texas by God]

Bass Pro and Cabela's draw air thru a straw. It'll take a sizable gift card from someone to get me in either one.

I was in the Garner, NC Cabelas a couple of weeks ago watching a guy get a gun that had been shipped there. The counter person pulled it from the box and to my surprise it was also zip tied. I thought it odd but figured that was how they were shipped. The Cabelas guy cut it, worked the action then handed it to the buyer for inspection. The guns behind the counter were not zip tied. One thing they did do that irritated me for some reason was put in a ticket thing. Take a number then hang around staring at the the screen for yours to come up. If they are going to do that then they should put the screens all over the store so you can look elsewhere and come back when yours is up. All I wanted was a box of primers.

Authentication is getting pretty common. Go online, sign into a sight and they send a code to your phone which you have to enter to get into them. My Credit Union(s) do this as an option for extra security, I think Yahoo mail does it and Coinbase (bitcoin) also does it.

Jon P, you had to take a number and wait in line to get a box of primers? Wow. LGS might be higher, but I didn’t have to wait, just pulled the primers off the shelf, paid the man, done. Guess we lucky down here, at least we still have a few LGS in business. Plus, on a recent driving trip to Kentucky, the few Cabelas I passed, the parking lots were almost deserted! I don’t deal with them anymore.

I'll pile on. I have one about 20 minutes away. Was good store, now with BP owning, prices up 20 to 50 percent on all supplies.
I don't do credit cards, but had a cabelas rewards card that worked well. Same points as CC. Use as discount on purchase. They even retroactively applied to my new account the points for my tractor I so ignorantly bought a couple of months before the stopped selling them, but that was a nice discount on supplies.
Fast forward to yesterday, mail from BP with new card to replace the old cabelas. Earn less, and they send a voucher at 500 point level. ($10 credits) No immediate use of balance.
Nope, garbage. Rather stop at academy and save 10 minutes drive time. Or internet.

Cabela's was going downhill long before the merger/take over by Bass Pro. Prices going up and quality down. Selection in the store horrible, they even did away with the no questions replacement/money back guarantee. I think it started downhill when the brother's sold the business and it went public. The bean counters took over and will eventually kill it completely.
