What others say about Cabela’s Club Mastercard

Cabela’s CLUB Mastercard® Review: Only for Cabela’s Biggest Spenders
“We recommend the Cabela’s CLUB Mastercard® to one very specific type of consumer — a person who is going to use the card for all their expenses and wants access to the experiences and other offers Cabela’s has for its cardholders. For everyone else, the Cabela’s CLUB Mastercard® gets a hard no.”

Cabela’s CLUB Mastercard® review: Will your hunt for a new credit card end here?
“You might have savings in your sights, but the Cabela’s CLUB Mastercard® couldn’t hit the broad side of that barn. The card’s rewards are underwhelming, its various tiers of interest rates can be confusing, and the lack of clarity surrounding some of the card’s key features is disturbing. You can also earn rewards at Cabela’s without signing up for the credit card, so it’s not your only option for getting many of this outdoor recreation store’s benefits.”

Cabela’s CLUB Mastercard credit card review [creditcards.com]
“Though longtime Cabela’s fans might be persuaded to sign up for the store’s branded credit card, they’re probably better served in sticking with its free Outdoor Rewards loyalty program instead.”

Cabelas Club Visa Credit Card Review (issued by World Foremost Bank)
“This card gets only a 3.6 ratings because the 2% (or 2 points) you earn for Cabela’s purchases is lower than most retail store cards. An interesting quirk about this card is that you have one APR for Cabela’s purchases and and higher rate for non-Cabela’s purchases. If you get the Visa Signature version, you can earn 5% rebates rather than 2% and get complimentary concierge service.”

  1. Good question. There is no special introductory interest rate, just a low fixed rate of 9.99% on purchases of Cabela’s products and a steeper rate of 15.3% to 18.3% elsewhere. There is no annual fee for the card and it does offer 2% rewards points on Cabela’s club purchases. Cabela’s Visa is issued by World’s Foremost Bank.

  2. Cabela’s uses a method called “average daily balance (including new purchases).” So if the interest rate is 9.99%, Cabela’s charges you 9.99%/365 or 0.0002737 per dollar every time there is a balance, that is, if you have an average balance of $1,000 on your statement, you pay $.27 in interest per day for 30 days or $8.21 for the month. It doesn’t matter when you made the purchase: they take the final balance and average it over 30 or 31 days.

  3. The interest is disclosed at the bottom of the application page under the “terms and conditions” part, which is not easy to figure out. Credit card companies do not make figuring what you pay easy. There is an advantage though when you pay the bill in full every time: you get to try out the item for free to see if you like for a week or two, otherwise return it.

  4. I recommend staying away from Cabela’s Club Visa card. This is probably the worst credit card I’ve ever had. I sent them a check to pay a bill in full for $XX and they cashed it for $Y, much less. Then they called me to demand payment! Told me there would be a late charge, interest fees, etc. I pointed out that they made the mistake and the guy agreed that he could see the image of the check but that I had to pay the balance over the phone right then and there! I of course fought back and got him to promise me a new statement with the balance and no charges. They called back a week later and demanded payment again! Again they promised a new statement and no charges. A few days later I check my checking account and they went back and re-cashed the check for the remaining balance! Not a word to me! And let’s not forget that the customer service people acted like *I* was the one who had done something wrong. This may be the worst customer experience I’ve ever had. Cabela’s you’ve just lost a credit card customer and I’ll never shop at your stores again!

  5. Thanks for the timely advice. Credit card customers should never be treated the way you were. There are too many other choices for your valuable business.

  6. Can the Cabella CC be used for all types of purchases or
    just at designated stores including convenient store gas
    stations. Can one pay the cc bill by phone??

  7. Maybe Cabela’s Club Visa Card got the message and improved their customer service.
