How to Check Your Cabela's Gift Card Balance

Check your Cabela's gift card balance (also good at Bass Pro Shops), and sell unused outdoor credit through FlipGift escrow.

Check Cabela's balance on official site

Cabela's gift cards are physical cards with a PIN, and since Cabela's merged with Bass Pro Shops the same card works at both retailers, in stores and online.

Checking your Cabela's gift card balance

  1. Open the Cabela's balance link above.
  2. Enter the card number.
  3. Enter the PIN and submit to see the remaining value.

What you'll need

  • The Cabela's card number.
  • The PIN under the scratch strip.

Other ways to check

Any Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops store can scan the card, since they share one system, and the balance shows at online checkout. Receipts print the leftover total.

If the balance won't load

Re-enter the number and PIN. Remember the card also spends at Bass Pro Shops, so a purchase there lowers the balance shown here.

Cabela's balance showing $0?

Hunting and fishing cards are often gifted for a season and spent on a single big-ticket item — a firearm, a kayak, a load of ammo. Check for a large recent purchase at either chain. If the card is unused and still zero, ask support to confirm activation with your receipt.

Selling a Cabela's card you won't use

Outdoor credit isn't much use if you don't hunt or fish, so these cards often linger. FlipGift sells the value through escrow while your code stays private: post the value, the buyer's money locks up first, you fulfil with your own card, and escrow releases cash after receipt is confirmed. A flat 2.5% fee is split two ways, and sellers usually keep 72–88% of face value. How escrow works →

Shopping at Cabela's rather than selling? A Cabela's order placed through escrow lands 8–40% under retail — someone else's balance pays for it and the item ships to you, with no code changing hands either way. How a Cabela's order works out →

Cabela's gift card balance — FAQ

Can I get cash back for a Cabela's gift card?

Most U.S. states don’t require Cabela's to redeem gift cards for cash unless the remaining balance falls below a small threshold (often $5–$10). To turn an unwanted card into cash instead, sell its value through FlipGift Escrow — you keep the card and its code, and typically net 72–88% of face value.

Can I reload my Cabela's gift card?

Some Cabela's gift cards can be reloaded online or in store, others can’t — it depends on the program. Check the card’s terms or the Cabela's site to confirm whether your card supports reload.

Do Cabela's gift cards expire?

In most U.S. states, gift cards are protected from expiring for at least five years, and many Cabela's cards don’t expire at all. Check the terms printed on your card or its packaging to be sure.

Where do I find the card number and PIN on a Cabela's gift card?

On a physical Cabela's card, the number is printed on the front or back, and the PIN is usually a separate code under a scratch-off panel on the back. For an eGift card, both are in your confirmation email.

Can I check my Cabela's balance without the PIN?

The online checker usually needs both the card number and PIN. Without the PIN, check your balance in store or by contacting Cabela's customer service.

Is checking my Cabela's gift card balance free?

Yes. Checking your balance online, by phone, or in store is always free — Cabela's never charges to look up a gift card balance.

What can I do with a Cabela's gift card I don’t want?

If you won't use it, sell its value through FlipGift Escrow — you keep the card and its code, and typically net 72–88% of face value, instead of letting the balance go to waste.

Don’t need your Cabela's card?

Sell it via FlipGift escrow — the code stays with you the whole time. You redeem the card yourself to deliver the buyer’s order, and the buyer’s money is held until delivery is confirmed. Sellers typically net 72–88% of face value.
