Quick answer: You can buy a Cabela's gift card straight from cabelas.com or basspro.com, in store at any Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's, on retail and grocery racks at Kroger, Staples, and Target, and as a PerfectGift for Cabela's that sends by text or email in seconds and lets the recipient keep it as Cabela's, switch brands, or move the balance to a Visa. One thing to know before you buy: a Cabela's gift card and a Bass Pro Shops gift card are the same card, and it works at both.
Cabela's or Bass Pro? It's the same card
Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops are one company, and they share one gift card. A Cabela's gift card is redeemable at any Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops store in the US, and online at cabelas.com or basspro.com, and the same is true of a Bass Pro card. If someone hands you the "wrong" banner's card, it still works, and the stores will even exchange one for the other at equal value. For a gift, that is good news: you do not have to know whether your recipient shops the Cabela's near them or the Bass Pro across town, because either card covers both.
Buying it as a gift vs. for yourself
- Buying it as a gift? You want it on time, easy to send, and flexible in case the outdoors is not quite their thing. A digital card that arrives by text or email beats a plastic card you have to mail, and a card they can redirect beats one locked to a store they never visit.
- Buying it for yourself? You want the fastest path to a balance you can spend on gear. Cabelas.com, basspro.com, or a card from a nearby Kroger or Staples all work, and it spends at either banner.

The 5 best places to buy a Cabela's gift card
1. PerfectGift — best for gifting
A PerfectGift for Cabela's starts as a Cabela's card, but the recipient is not locked in. If they head to Cabela's or Bass Pro, that is what they get. If you weren't certain the outdoors is their thing, they can switch it to another brand, move the balance to a Visa gift card to spend anywhere, send it on with Zelle, or regift it. It sends by text or email in seconds, comes in digital or physical form from $5 to $500, and the gift never expires.
Pros: recipient can keep it as Cabela's, swap brands, or move to Visa; digital delivery in seconds; $5 to $500; never expires. Cons: the swap-to-another-brand step is the recipient's choice, not yours. Our take: the pick when Cabela's is probably right but you'd like the recipient to have options if it is not.
2. Cabela's.com and Bass Pro Shops — best for buying direct
You are buying straight from the source, in digital or physical form, with first-party support, and the card spends at both Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops. Denominations run all the way to $2,000, which is more headroom than any rack. Buy online at cabelas.com or basspro.com, in any store, or by phone.
Pros: first-party, digital or physical, up to $2,000, works at both banners. Cons: a plain-brand card locked to the outdoors, with no swap option. Our take: the safe default for a self-purchase or for someone you know shops Cabela's or Bass Pro.
3. Retail and grocery racks — best for a card today
Kroger, Staples, and Target carry Cabela's cards on the gift-card rack, commonly from about $15 up to $500. This is the move when you want a physical card in hand today.
Pros: widely available, physical card to hand over, easy to gift. Cons: amounts are limited to what's on the rack, and it's locked to the brand. Our take: the option when the occasion is today and you'd rather hand over a card than send a code.
4. Online gift-card sites — best online alternative
Established gift-card sites sell Cabela's cards online with digital delivery, a reasonable backup when you're not buying from Cabela's, Bass Pro, or a big-box retailer directly. Stick to well-known sellers.
Pros: online, digital delivery, reputable options. Cons: a plain-brand card with no swap option. Our take: a fine backup if cabelas.com and the racks aren't convenient.
5. GCX (Raise) — best for a discount
GCX (formerly Raise) is a gift-card marketplace that resells Cabela's cards below face value. The exact discount moves with inventory but tends to run a few percent. If nothing's discounted when you look, you can buy at full price and earn cash back in GCX Cash toward a future purchase instead. Either way, every order is covered by a 90-day money-back guarantee.
Pros: a real discount below face value, or cash back in GCX Cash on full-price cards; 90-day money-back guarantee; instant digital delivery. Cons: the discount and stock move around; digital only; not built for gifting. Our take: good for a self-purchase if you'll spend the balance yourself. Check the live discount before you buy, and skip it if you're gifting.
Do Kroger, Staples, and Target sell Cabela's gift cards?
Yes to all three, on the gift-card rack, usually from about $15 to $500. Availability on any single rack changes, so if you want a guaranteed source, buy from cabelas.com, basspro.com, PerfectGift, or a reputable online gift-card site.
Match the source to your timeline
- Need it in minutes: a digital PerfectGift or a cabelas.com / basspro.com eGift.
- Need it today, in hand: a physical card from a Kroger, Staples, or Target near you, or any Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's store.
- Have a few days: a physical card by mail, including a plastic PerfectGift.
Watch out for cheap "Cabela's code" deals
A discount from a reputable reseller is one thing. A stranger on a marketplace advertising a deeply discounted Cabela's card is another, and that's where a lot of gift-card fraud happens. A card sold well below face value by an unofficial seller can arrive already drained. Buy from Cabela's, Bass Pro, a major retailer, PerfectGift, or a reputable gift-card site, not a random listing.
How to use a Cabela's gift card
- In store: use it at any Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops location in the US, up to the balance on the card.
- Online: redeem it at cabelas.com or basspro.com at checkout. The same card works on either site.
- Check your balance: at cabelas.com or basspro.com with the card number and PIN, or by phone at 1-800-237-4444.
- Good to know: one card covers both Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops, and the stores can exchange one banner's card for the other.
- With a PerfectGift, the recipient can instead swap the brand, move the balance to a Visa, send it via Zelle, or regift it. They choose how to redeem it.
The bottom line
For a gift, a PerfectGift for Cabela's is the flexible pick if you're not certain the outdoors is their thing, and it still arrives in seconds. For a guaranteed first-party card that spends at both banners, buy at cabelas.com or basspro.com. For today, a Kroger, Staples, or Target rack card works. For a small discount on a self-purchase, check GCX. Wherever you buy, remember one card covers both Cabela's and Bass Pro, and skip the too-good-to-be-true discount codes.
