How to Redeem a Bass Pro Shop Gift Card

Q: How do I redeem a Bass Pro Shops gift card?

Add items to your cart at basspro.com, continue to the Method of Payment screen at checkout, choose the gift card option, and enter the card number and PIN. The balance comes off your order total immediately. You can also hand the card to a cashier in store or read the credentials to an Outfitter by phone.

Q: Where do I enter my Bass Pro gift card number and PIN?

On the Method of Payment screen during online checkout, in the gift card field — the same screen where you would add a credit card. There is no separate redeem page; the card is applied as tender at checkout, not loaded into an account.

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

Yes. Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s share one gift card program, so a Bass Pro card works online at cabelas.com and at any Cabela’s U.S. store, and a Cabela’s card works at Bass Pro. If a cross-brand checkout rejects the card, call to have it exchanged for the matching brand.

Q: Why isn't my Bass Pro gift card working?

Usually a mistyped card number or PIN, a depleted balance, or a scratch-off PIN that isn’t fully revealed. Re-enter the credentials carefully and confirm the card still has funds. A third-party retail card that reads as invalid may not have been activated — return it to the store where you bought it. See the troubleshooting section above.

Q: Do Bass Pro Shops gift cards expire?

No. Bass Pro Shops gift cards do not expire and carry no dormancy fees, so any remaining balance stays available until you spend it down to zero across the Bass Pro and Cabela’s catalog.

Q: Where can I redeem a Bass Pro Shops gift card?

Four ways: online at basspro.com or cabelas.com, at any Bass Pro Shops or Cabela’s U.S. retail location, at Bass Pro restaurants and Big Cedar Lodge, or by phone with an Outfitter. Every path requires both the gift card number and the PIN.

Apply it at checkout on basspro.com — and yes, it works at Cabela's

A Bass Pro Shops gift card is checkout tender, not an account wallet. Enter the card number and PIN on the Method of Payment screen online, hand the card to a cashier in store, or read the credentials to an Outfitter by phone.

Quick Answer: Redeeming Your Bass Pro Shop Gift Card

To redeem a Bass Pro Shops gift card, add items to your cart at basspro.com, continue to the Method of Payment screen at checkout, choose the gift card option, and enter the card number and PIN. The balance comes straight off your order total — there is no account to load it into — and the same card also works at cabelas.com and in any Bass Pro Shops or Cabela’s U.S. store.

Where to Redeem Your Bass Pro Shop Gift Card

A Bass Pro Shops gift card is spent at the point of payment, not stored in an online account. You apply it three ways — online at checkout, in person at a register, or over the phone — and every path needs both the card number and the PIN. On a physical card the PIN hides under a gray scratch-off coating on the back; on an eGift card it is printed in the delivery email.

Online at basspro.com (or cabelas.com)

Use this path when you are shopping the catalog from a browser. The gift card is entered on the same screen where you would add a credit card.

Go to basspro.com and add the gear you want to your cart.
Proceed to checkout and continue to the Method of Payment screen.
Select the option to apply a gift card, then enter your gift card number and PIN.
The gift card balance is deducted from your order total; cover any remaining amount with another payment method.
Place your order to confirm the redemption.

The identical flow works at cabelas.com — Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s run one shared gift card program, so a Bass Pro card is valid tender on either site.

In Store or by Phone

Reach for this when you are at a register or placing a catalog order with an Outfitter. No login, app, or web step is involved.

For a physical card, scratch off the gray coating on the back to reveal the PIN before you reach the register.
In store, hand the card to the cashier — or present your eGift card email or image so they can scan the gift card number and PIN.
By phone, read the gift card number and PIN to the Outfitter when payment is requested.
The balance is applied to your purchase, and any leftover total is charged to another payment method.

U.S. retail redemption is honored at both Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s locations, including Bass Pro restaurants and Big Cedar Lodge.

What You Can Buy with a Bass Pro Shop Gift Card

The balance covers anything Bass Pro Shops or Cabela’s sells: fishing rods, reels, and tackle, hunting and shooting gear, camping and boating equipment, outdoor apparel and footwear, and the in-store and resort experiences tied to the brand. Because it is store tender rather than a closed wallet, you can split a single order between the gift card and a credit card when the cart runs higher than the card’s value.

The card is not a cash-back instrument and is not reloadable on the customer side — it spends down to zero and does not expire. Treat it as flexible store credit for the full Bass Pro and Cabela’s catalog rather than as an account balance you log in to manage.

Use it for: fishing, hunting, camping, and boating gear, outdoor apparel, and dining or lodging at Bass Pro destinations.
Best match: an outdoors shopper who wants to spend across both Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s without committing a credit card.

Why Your Bass Pro Shop Gift Card Isn’t Working

Bass Pro redemption is simple, so a card that won’t apply almost always traces to the number, the PIN, or the balance. Work through the checks below before calling support — most failures clear in seconds.

The card number or PIN was entered wrong

This is the most common cause. Re-enter the gift card number and PIN exactly as printed, watching for a “0” typed as the letter “O” or a missed digit. For an eGift card, copy the credentials straight from the delivery email rather than retyping them.

The PIN coating hasn’t been scratched off

On a physical card the PIN sits under a gray scratch-off panel on the back. If you are reading a partial or smudged number, gently scratch the coating away fully to reveal all the characters, then re-enter the PIN.

The balance is depleted

A gift card that has already been spent down to zero will be declined at checkout. Check the remaining balance before reusing a card — if it shows funds but still fails, the issue is more likely the number or PIN entry above.

A retail-purchased card wasn’t activated

Cards bought from a third-party rack at a store like Walgreens or Safeway are activated at that retailer’s register. If yours reads as invalid right after purchase, it may not have activated correctly — take it back to the store where you bought it for a refund or correction.

Cross-store handling between Bass Pro and Cabela’s

A Bass Pro card is valid at Cabela’s and a Cabela’s card is valid at Bass Pro, since the two share one program. If a specific cross-brand checkout still rejects the card, call to have it exchanged for the matching brand — Bass Pro Shops at 1-800-227-7776, Cabela’s at 1-800-237-4444.
