Any experiances with Cabela's VISA card and the point redemption for goods? Is it worth the "trouble", or is it better to use an Airline card and get "miles"? Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission. | ||

The card is ok, if you are not going to fly much. Now, that I am flying more, I will take the miles.

When a new Cabela's opened very close to home last year, the card was tempting. But, that said, we like to travel too much and exclusively use a card that earns airline miles. So hopefully the purchase of my wife's rifle and scope at Cabela's will help make the flight to Namibia less expensive. | |||

I've used one for years. What I do is buy all my gasoline and food with it. I kind of figure since you have nothing to show for those items after you use them, you might as well get something for them. I let the points build up over the course of the year and then cash them in for gift certificates for my nephews for Christmas. They like the certificates and they basically don't cost me anything since I pay the balance in full every month. I don't use card for large purchases, but for the small ones, the points make sense.

I have it and the Skymiles card. I use the Skymiles card more but I just cashed in $29 worth of points last night on my Cabelas card on an order I placed. I also used Cabelas points to buy a pair of Kangaroo skin hunting boots a while back. Cheers, Andy | |||

I have one but hardly ever use it anymore because they changed the terms of use midstream. The points take forever to build up. | |||

The points are slower to gain but much easier to use. They are good on all Cabelas mdse not only on selected flights. I haven't been able to ever use air miles. I use a BP card and get CASH back. 5% on all BP gas. I use my Cabelas card for purchases from them as the points are double. | |||

I used a United card for years but found myself giving tix to friends that were more willing to fly on the awkward flights to a destination while I would buy for a better schedule. Now I am saving my Cabelas points for a nice Swarovski scope  | |||

I have had a Cabela's Visa for about 3 years. Use it pretty much as my primary card. I had an Amex Delta miles card, but they kept uping the annual fee and you can never find a flight when you want to leave or arrive using the miles. My wife still has one and she has plenty of miles now(on the card, not her; er better quit). The Cabelas points are nice and the folks on the phone are some of the best I've dealt with. Just when I think I've got too much hunting crap to keep up with, there's always one more thing for that slightly different trip and those points come in real handy. | |||

I've had the Cabelas Visa for a few years now with no problems. I don't fly enought to get the benefits of a frequent flyer card so I went with Cabelas. Redeemed some points in a few months ago for some brass. NRA CRPA DRSS | |||

If you run all of your household expense through a credit card, you can do well with the Cabelas card. You can use points for a discount on guns or hunts also. | |||

And this pertains to "African Hunting" how? I thought we were trying to honor Saeed's wishes to keep the topic somewhat related to the forum. Just my $.02 | |||

I have used one for 10 years or so. I have a small business and run a lot of our expenses on this card. I am able to get $1000 - $2000 of free stuff every year. | |||

I like mine. I run 2K-4K a month thru it and buy gear with the points on a regular basis. I quit using airline cards because I could never get a flight when I wanted it without a huge upcharge in points. BUTCH C'est Tout Bon (It is all good) | |||

Cabela's has excellent customer service. A real person always answers the telephone. Never have had a problem returning anything. Good fraud protection. JOIN SCI! | |||

If you want reward points that don't expire, then get an American Express card. Other than my debit card it's the only card my wife and I use for personal or business purchases. As long as you pay it on time you get a mile per dollar spent. You can then assign those points to one of several airlines. It's worked for us for the past 12 years! Rusty We Band of Brothers!

I like mine. I saved my points for about 2 years and a few months ago I used most all of my points and got a free Kimber Caprivi in 375 H&H. Mac Mac | |||

Have had mine about 2 years now. Use is for many, many things. Last year ran about $22k through it. One other benefit, when I don't have enough points to buy something at Cabelas,and end up making up the difference with the card, it adds double points  . Then when the wife finds a new hunting item in the basement  and asks where the money came from, I just tell her I was able to redeem my points for the item. Has kept me out of hot water numerous times.   | |||

Don't get the BassPro Shops Visa they make you cash in all your points every year so you can't save them up for a big purchase.
