How to save at Bass Pro Shops: the smartest ways

1. Hit $50 for free shipping. As of September 2026, orders of $50 or more ship free to the contiguous US with standard or express shipping. Under $50, standard shipping is $5.
2. Use free ship-to-store. Shipping to a Bass Pro Shops or Cabela’s store is free at any order size, which is the easy way to skip the $5 fee on small orders.
3. Verify for the heroes discount. Verified military personnel, law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMTs and fish and wildlife agents get 10% off eligible merchandise and 5% off firearms and ammunition.
4. Open a CLUB card if you shop often. New CLUB members get a $25 instant credit applied at checkout, and purchases earn CLUB Points that can be redeemed later. Approval is subject to credit review.
5. Shop the Bargain Cave. Bass Pro’s clearance section collects marked-down fishing, hunting, camping and apparel items. Note that Bargain Cave items bought in a retail store cannot be returned.
6. Browse category sales. The site runs a Fishing Sale and Hunting Sale in its navigation, which are the first places to check for seasonal markdowns.
7. Redeem points and gift cards together. Outdoor Rewards points and gift cards can be used alongside other payment methods, including PayPal online.
8. Watch oversized and hazardous items. Extra charges may apply to oversized or overweight items, and hazardous materials carry a $25.50 upcharge, so factor that in when comparing prices.

Shipping & delivery options

Bass Pro’s shipping charges page lists these rates as of September 2026 for the contiguous US:

For Alaska and Hawaii, orders under $50 cost $10, $20 or $35 (standard, express, 1-day), and orders of $50+ ship free standard, with express at $20 and 1-day at $35. Ship-to-store is free. Expedited options require a physical address rather than a P.O. box. International orders are charged 45% of the merchandise total or a $40 minimum for shipping and handling, whichever is greater.

Return & exchange policy

According to Bass Pro’s return policy, you can return items for an exchange or refund by mail or at a store within 60 days of purchase with valid proof of purchase. Returns are accepted at both Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s locations. After 60 days, returns are accepted on an inspection basis only, and returns without a receipt are processed at the lowest sale price plus tax for merchandise or gift card credit.

Some items are not returnable for safety reasons, including firearms, ammunition, black powder firearms and treestands. Used gasoline-powered items and drones, installed marine propellers and in-store Bargain Cave purchases are also non-returnable, custom orders go back to the manufacturer, and some bikes carry restocking fees.

Rewards and CLUB card explained

Bass Pro Shops runs Outdoor Rewards, a loyalty program linked to your account, and the CLUB Mastercard. As of September 2026, new CLUB members get a $25 instant credit applied automatically at checkout, and CLUB purchases earn CLUB Points you can redeem later, including for gift cards. The physical card arrives in 7 to 10 business days. Because the CLUB card is a credit product, only apply if you plan to pay the balance in full; interest would quickly wipe out the rewards.

Student, military, teacher & other discounts

Bass Pro’s military discount gives verified military personnel, law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMTs and fish and wildlife agents 5% off firearms and ammunition and 10% off all other eligible merchandise. In store, show a current ID at checkout. Online or by phone, create an account and submit your verification for approval (fish and wildlife agents must verify in store). We did not find a student or teacher discount.

Price matching & price adjustments

We did not find a price match or price adjustment policy in the Bass Pro Shops help center during our review. Ask at a store before you buy if a competitor has a lower price. For online orders, the 60-day return policy offers some protection if a price drops, provided the item is returnable.

Payment options

Bass Pro Shops accepts PayPal for online orders (not in store or by phone), and PayPal cannot be split with another credit card on the same order. Gift cards and rewards points can be used alongside PayPal. Bass Pro also offers a 4-pay installment plan, though not with PayPal, plus the CLUB Mastercard.

When Bass Pro Shops has its biggest sales

• Spring fishing season: historically the best time for rods, reels, lures and boats.
• Late summer and fall: hunting gear, optics and blinds are promoted ahead of hunting season.
• Black Friday and the holidays: traditionally Bass Pro’s biggest sale window of the year.
• Year-round: the Bargain Cave and the Fishing Sale and Hunting Sale sections.
