We used this for usually buying guns and getting the cash back. Never had an issue with it and enjoy the cashback slot!

I applied for this card to get a discount on something I was buying. It did not use it often at other stores, but I would use it at Cabela's to get extra cash back there. It was nice being able to apply that cash back to any purchase I was making. One day I had a random charge show up for something I did not buy from a place I never shopped at. I contacted Cabela's, and they were helpful in canceling the illegitimate charge and helping me cancel the account. I do not know why this fraudulent charge had come, but it made me wonder how well Cabela's protects personal info, since that is the only store where I used the card, so it must have been their records used for the fraudulent charge. But for a card to use at Cabela's, it is good.

Had a fradulant charge so my card was frozen. The first agent I talked to said I could keep my cc number but a new card would be issued with a new expiration date and security number. The new card was going to be mailed right out. The second agent I talked to said the first agent was wrong, that I had to change my cc number and the new card would be mailed right out and would be pre-authorized so I could begin using it right away. When the card arrived, it was the same cc number with a new date and security number and payments on it were being declined. In the mean time, auto-pays on my card were not being made. Now I am suppose to get a new card next week...we'll see. I would suggest intensive "coaching" for both the agents I talked to. Neither knew or did their job to help get a new, working card to me in a timely manner.

This card started well with a 2,500 dollar credit limit. I made the mistake of funding my Christmas get-away on their CLUB Visa. I purchased all manner of outdoor items and left a remaining balance of $800. I wanted the points. After Christmas, I made 2 payments a month until March 10th when I paid the balance in full (I was no longer carrying a balance). I also paid 3 other credit cards down to $0 balance which left me with only 2 cards with a balance of any kind (Disney and Capital One). My total credit utilization at this point was 38% and my goal was to get it down to 25% by end of the summer. Less than a month after paying the balance down, Cabela's reduced my credit limit to $500, a loss if $2000 available credit. Because I don't have large credit lines (rebuilding after 2008-2010 recession hit me in the form of job loss), this put my utilization at over 50%. My credit score, which was improving (after a minor Post holiday dip due to utilization) fell like a stone. Because of Cabela's my credit score is now lower than it has been in years. I called them to talk it over and they could care less. Bottom line, I should have it carried the balance for 3 months and I should not have chosen Cabela's Club Visa.

Ive needed to contact Cabela's Visa customer service 3 or four times over the past 2 years. Each time I waited for over 30 minutes to speak to a human being. My main card is American Express and when I call their customer service, I speak to a human within 5 minutes. I am closing my Cabela's account and signing up for a Visa Card under another Bank,

I applied for this card about 2 years ago. I was approved and given a CL of $4000. I used this card for primarily business related expenses. I was carrying a balance but always made payments prior to the due date. When my balance was $2300 they lowered my credit limit to $2400 essentially showing that the card was maxed out. My credit score took a dip to the tune of about 30 points. Most recently I received a letter saying that my card would not be renewed and that were going to be closing my account and to destroy the card that I have. I expect my score to take another significant dip due to their cancellation. This change will affect my debt-to-credit ratio. I never missed one payment with them or any other account that I have open. I have ZERO derogatory remarks on my bureau. Every account is paid on time, every month.

They rejected an advance purchase of hotel rooms in London. 16 times!! Even after many, many calls where they swore it was a mistake, they kept rejecting the purchase. And they were rude when we wanted to know why. Every time we called, they had a different excuse, each equally ridiculous or an outright lie. Finally, a manager told us they have "problems" with processing international travel and if we were planning on using the card when we were in London, we would have to call (internationally, of course) the Cabela's card service dept EVERY SINGLE time we planned on using the card to get authorization. Given the fact that it took them almost two WEEKS to authorize the hotel charge, I don't see this as a viable card. Plus they were rude every time we called and asked for a supervisor. Avoid these guys like the plague.

Very upset. I initially received this card with a $2000 credit limit. After 8 months without a late payment, and paying the card off in full, I had a reduction in my credit line to $500. I called and the credit representative said my credit score was now too low for a $2000 credit limit. Credit scores can fluctuate with balances/purchases on other accounts. You issued me a card, I make payments on time. You should pay more attention to what your cardholder does with your account. Very, Very, disappointed in your institution.

Customer Service is absolutely horrible. I received an automated fraud alert call which required a callback by me. The automated alert information about the charge was unintelligible and there were no Fraud Alert Advisors available! Then I called Customer Service and sat on hold for a little over 30 minutes. That rep released the hold on my card but couldn't authorize the payment on the charge in question. She also couldn't (or wouldn't) connect me with a supervisor but promised me a callback from one. It has been over 24 hours and no callback. Unacceptable.
