Stacking Tips
Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at Bass Pro Shops.
CLUB Visa + Spring/Fall Classic Sale
Bass Pro's seasonal Classic sale events (Fishing Classic in spring, Hunting Classic in fall) represent the deepest category-specific discounts of the year. Paying with the CLUB Visa adds 5% back in points on top of sale pricing, and Trophy Club members often get early access before the general sale begins.
Cabela's Cross-Brand Price Check
Since Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's operate under the same parent company with shared inventory systems, prices occasionally differ between the two sites on identical items. Checking both before purchasing and requesting a cross-brand price match can capture the lower of the two prices with your preferred brand's loyalty points.
Clearance + In-Store Visit
Bass Pro Shops' flagship stores often carry significantly more clearance inventory than appears online. Visiting during or after major sale events (post-Fishing Classic, post-Hunting Classic) reveals substantial clearance racks on returned, overstocked, and prior-season gear at 30-50% off.
BOPIS + Promo Code
Applying an available promo code to a click-and-collect order eliminates the need to reach the free shipping threshold while still capturing code savings. Pairing with the CLUB Visa adds 5% back on top for a strong combined discount on gear purchases.
Price Match Policy
Bass Pro Shops's price match guarantee lets you claim a lower price from qualifying competitors — both at the time of purchase and up to 14 days after. Knowing the rules can save you from overpaying on big-ticket items.
Competitor Price Match
Bass Pro Shops matches prices from major outdoor retailers on identical in-stock items. Cabela's and Bass Pro cross-brand price matching also available.
In-Store and Online
Price match available in-store at customer service and online through customer support. Have the competitor's current price and URL ready.

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's will match each other's pricing since both are owned by the same parent company.
