Gift Cards at Bass Pro Shops: The Complete List of Brands, Fees & Where to Buy (2026)

If you are heading to Bass Pro Shops to grab a gift card for the hunter, angler, camper, or boat owner on your list, you are in good company. The question most shoppers ask first is whether they can grab a gift card from another brand while they are there, the way you might at a grocery store or big-box retailer. The short answer is no, and that actually makes the decision easier. Here is everything worth knowing before you buy.

What Gift Card Brands Does Bass Pro Shops Sell?

Bass Pro Shops sells its own branded gift cards, and that is it. There is no gift card mall, no rack of third-party dining, entertainment, or retail cards from other issuers, and no online marketplace for other brands. Every search and every official gift card page points to the same thing: Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's cards, nothing else.

Here is the full picture of what is available:

• Bass Pro Shops gift cardsphysical cards sold at any U.S. Bass Pro Shops register.
• Cabela's gift cardsphysical cards sold at any U.S. Cabela's register.
• Co-branded and dual-branded cardsespecially common in bulk and business orders, with imagery for either brand or both.
• eGift cardsthe digital version, available for both brands online.

One important detail: after the merger between the two companies, Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's gift cards are interchangeable. A card bought at one store works at the other, and the same goes for the websites. So if your gift recipient is closer to a Cabela's, a Bass Pro card still works just fine.

Where the cards are accepted is broader than most people expect. You can redeem them for merchandise, food, and beverages at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's U.S. retail stores and restaurants, online at basspro.com and cabelas.com, and at related sites like mackspw.com and bigcedar.com. They also work by phone or catalog and at a list of affiliated resorts including Big Cedar Lodge, Big Cypress, Buffalo Ridge, Top of the Rock, and Angler's Inn, among others. The one place they will not work is paying down a Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's CLUB Mastercard balance.

Denominations, Fees, and Purchase Limits

This is where Bass Pro Shops looks pretty good compared to a lot of retailers. There are no fees of any kind. No dormancy fees, no inactivity fees, no service fees, no activation fees. And the cards do not expire. That is confirmed directly by the company, not just inferred.

Denominations are flexible. Consumer physical cards and eGift cards commonly range from $5 to $2,000, with one official help page citing any amount from $5 to $2,000. Other product listings and sources point to $10 to $1,000 in whole-dollar increments for standard online and in-store purchases, with specific card designs often shown between $10 and $500. Bulk and business cards run any denomination from $10 to $2,000. If you are buying for a specific occasion and want a clean number like $75 or $150, that is usually doable.

Two limits worth knowing before you head out:

• Daily purchase cap: no individual may buy more than $10,000 worth of gift cards and eGift cards in a single day.
• Bulk and business minimums: volume discounts and waived setup fees typically start around a $5,000 annual spend. Below that, you go through the regular online or in-store channels. Bulk inquiries go to giftcards@basspro.com or 1-800-243-6626.

On shipping, physical cards ship free via standard USPS within 3 to 6 business days to the contiguous 48 states, with express options available if you are cutting it close. eGift cards typically land in your recipient's inbox within an hour during business hours.

One caution about the fine print: promotional cards may carry their own stated expiration dates, so read the back if you are buying a card that came bundled with a promotion rather than a standard one.

Where to Buy Bass Pro Shops Gift Cards

You have more options than you might think.

In store: Any Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's U.S. retail register sells physical gift cards. This is the fastest path if you need one today, and it is also where you can browse the actual card designs if you want something with a specific outdoor scene on it.

Online: Physical cards and eGift cards are both available at basspro.com and cabelas.com, currently routed through a partner site for checkout. eGift cards are the better pick if you are buying last minute, since delivery typically happens within hours.

By phone: Call Bass Pro Shops at 1-800-227-7776 or Cabela's at 1-800-237-4444.

Bulk and business: Use the email or phone number above for orders that qualify for volume pricing.

Third-party retailers: Bass Pro Shops gift cards are also sold at plenty of outside retailers including Kroger, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Sam's Club, Home Depot, Lowe's, and many grocery, drug, and convenience chains. That is other stores selling Bass Pro cards, not Bass Pro selling other brands. It can be a handy shortcut if you are already running errands elsewhere.

Before you hand the card over, it is worth knowing how to check the balance later. Our walkthrough on how to check a Walgreens gift card balance gives you a sense of how these lookups typically work, and Bass Pro Shops offers the same kind of balance tools through its own site and customer service line.

Do Gift Cards Earn Rewards Points?

Bass Pro Shops runs two separate programs, and the answer differs depending on which one you mean.

Outdoor Rewards is the free, non-credit loyalty program. You earn 1 point per $1 spent on eligible purchases, and each point is worth $0.02 toward merchandise, so 500 points gets you $10 in free gear. But gift cards are explicitly excluded from earning points. So are White River Marine and Tracker products, ATVs, food and beverage, restaurants, lodges, vendor operations, and taxidermy. Points are also not earned on the portion of a purchase paid with a gift card or with redeemed Outdoor Rewards points.

The Bass Pro Shops CLUB Mastercard is the credit card issued with Capital One. It comes in Classic, Silver, and Black tiers based on annual spend, earning 2%, 3%, or 5% back in CLUB Points at Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, and affiliates, plus 1% everywhere else. There is no annual fee. Points can be redeemed for free gear, resort stays, and more.

Here is the nuance: secondary sources state that CLUB Points do not accrue on gift card purchases, though the exclusion for Outdoor Rewards is the one stated explicitly in official terms. What is clear is that you can redeem CLUB Points to buy gift cards online, in store, or by phone. Gift cards themselves are not a bonus category under either program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a Bass Pro Shops gift card at Cabela's?

Do Bass Pro Shops gift cards expire or charge fees?

Standard cards do not expire and carry no dormancy, inactivity, service, or activation fees. Promotional cards may have their own stated expiration, so check the card if it came from a promotion rather than a straight purchase.

No. Gift cards are excluded from normal returns and are non-refundable once purchased. Treat them like cash. Remaining balances on partially used cards generally are not cashed out except where state law requires it for small amounts.

What happens if I lose my Bass Pro Shops gift card?

Lost, stolen, or damaged cards can be replaced for the remaining balance if you have proof of purchase. Keep your receipt or order confirmation until the card is fully spent.

Does Bass Pro Shops sell gift cards for other stores?

No. Bass Pro Shops sells only its own branded and Cabela's gift cards. There is no gift card rack or online marketplace for third-party dining, entertainment, or retail brands. Plenty of other retailers sell Bass Pro Shops cards, but Bass Pro does not sell theirs.
