Sell your Cabela's gift card for cash

We buy Cabela's gift cards at 80% of the balance — $10 to $2,000 per card, paid by PayPal or Cash App within 24 hours.

Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops are the same company, and their gift cards are interchangeable across both chains, in store and online. That is the first thing to check if a Cabela's card looks stranded — a Bass Pro location may be considerably closer than the nearest Cabela's, and the card will work there without any fuss.

Beyond that, Cabela's credit runs into the destination-retail problem. These are large stores in a relatively thin network, visited deliberately rather than passed on the way home. A card that needs a planned trip to spend competes with everything else on the calendar, and usually loses.

The gear itself is also seasonal and specialised. Credit given for a hunting season, a fishing trip or a camping holiday has a narrow natural window, and if that window closes the balance has to wait a full year for the next one — or forever, if the activity stopped.

Our rate is 80% of the verified balance, flat, on cards from $10 to $2,000. A part-used card with $118.40 on it pays $94.72; the per-dollar rate never changes with the amount.

Cabela's cards do not expire, work at Bass Pro Shops as well, and can be used in the restaurants, ranges and attractions inside the destination stores. If you are within reach of either chain, a day out is a straightforward way to convert a balance into something enjoyable rather than something functional.

The reason to sell is usually seasonal drift. Outdoor gear is bought in narrow windows, and a card given in one season for an activity that did not happen has to wait a full year for its next opportunity. Waiting a year for a card you were never enthusiastic about is how balances become permanent, and converting is the cleaner outcome.

Both Cabela's and Bass Pro run in-store events, classes and seasonal clinics, and some of those carry a fee that a gift card will cover. It is an easy way to convert a balance into something you will actually turn up for, rather than gear that sits in a garage alongside the card that bought it.

Check the balance through the Cabela's gift cards page using the card number and PIN. Because the cards work across both brands, either chain's balance tool will read the same figure.

We verify before paying out. If the confirmed balance is lower than what you entered, you see the recalculated offer first and can decline, keeping the card, with nothing charged.

How to check your Cabela's balance

Check it on Cabela's's own site before you sell. You will need the full card number and the PIN — usually under a scratch-off strip on the back, or in the confirmation email for a digital card. Enter the balance here exactly as it reads.

  • Cash App Initiated within 24 hoursSent to your $Cashtag. Same timing as PayPal.
  • Paper check 5–7 business daysPosted to you. Slower, because the mail is the mail.
  • Card data encrypted and admin-onlyThe full number and PIN are visible to the verification admin and nobody else — not other sellers, not support staff.
  • No fees, everNo listing fee, no commission, no payout fee. The number you accept is the number that arrives.
  • We buy it outrightThere is nothing to list and no buyer to wait on. Once we own the card, the resale risk is ours, not yours.

Selling a Cabela's gift card: common questions

80% of the balance we verify with Cabela's. A $100.00 card pays $80.00 and a $250.00 card pays $200.00. The rate is flat — it does not improve with larger balances and it does not drop for smaller ones.

$10.00. Below that the payment processing costs more than the trade is worth to either of us. The most we take on a single Cabela's card is $2,000.00; if yours is larger, submit it as two cards.

PayPal and Cash App payments are initiated within 24 hours of you submitting the card, and often the same afternoon. A paper check takes 5 to 7 business days because it goes through the mail. The only thing standing between you and the money is the balance check.

We recalculate at the same 80% rate and show you the corrected offer before any money moves. If the new number does not work for you, say no and keep the card. People misremember balances constantly and it is not held against you.

Yes, and most of what we buy is partially used. A Cabela's card with $37.18 left is worth the same per dollar as a full one. Enter the exact remaining balance, down to the cents, as long as it is at least $10.00.
