So Capital One - Cabelas then went ahead and tried to do an auto-pay of the minimum amount even though I had paid the previous month balance in full and no minimum payment was due for another month. Except the bank account was closed. Chaos ensued.

I finally got it all straightened out after being on several "brief" holds, talking with two CSRs and a supervisor who each gave me different amounts needed to zero it out and run like hell. But that was time I could have spent doing something else and aggravation I didn't need.

Then I made a trip to Cabelas in Denver to spend my points on some non-hunting winter clothes that needed try-on because the sizes vary. Except nearly everything in the store was Redhead crap and the few things they did have that were interesting and which I could use were limited to size S, M, or XXL.

I did notice that there were about 1/4 the number of people in there compared to a similar day and time in October when it was still "Cabelas". Makes me very sad. I've been buying from them since 1970 and still have my first thin little black and white catalog. Goodbye, old friend. RIP.

So now I run everything through my Alaska Airlines card so I can rack up miles to go see Nick and Stephanie for free!

Those were the days.

Too bad. I loved the points.

I was involved with a number of mergers and acquisitions in my business career, including due diligence when we went after market share. This whole transition has been a big CF, and Bass Pro may have underestimated he market share they were buying if they keep turning off the customers they thought they were "acquiring".

I canceled/closed out my acct.

I then thought, ya know, I haven't used my Home Depot card in almost a full year so I called and canceled/closed it out too.

So now I have my A-Prime visa and I am content.

Good luck, Robb

I abandoned my card (still have the account but only use it for in store purchases) and went to an Alliant Credit Union card three years ago. Got a full 3% cash back for the first year and 2.5% since. Much better and I transfer all my rewards $ to a savings account the wife and I are going to use for a really nice vacation one of these days.

Bye, bye Cabelas. It was great knowing you but you aren't who you once were.

Anyone else get a cheap but kind of cool knife for being a 10 year card holder? That's how far back I go with them. Its definitely a shame!

I've heard the animal specimen's in their museum next to the Springfield Bass Pro is second to none. JP Morris is a hardcore bowfisherman, so I'm starting to warm up to them a little. Still have my card.

I still use my 'Cabela's' Capital One card, but they're on probation with me.

Then again, my regular bank is on thin ice too. The bigger they get the less they care about the customer. Might move my business to a local bank that treats people like people.

Yeah...Google "Democrat equity score", and get back to us!

And? I can wait to read the line of reasoning of how an article talking the government providing an equity score on future legislation will result in lower consumer credit scores based on how individuals vote.

You just THINK you get 2.5%. Because of their fee structure, the absolute most you could actually net is 2.25%, and that's ONLY if you spend at least $10,000 per quarter ($40,000 per year) on your card (and they have a max cashback of $250 per quarter). If you spend less, your return is less. Spending $5,000 per quarter ($20,000 per year) would be the break-even where you would get 2% back. If you spend lower than that, you'd net less than 2% and you'd be better off with the Citibank Double Cash card that pays 2% no matter what you spend, with no maximum amount you could earn and no annual fee. I have no association with Citi, I just spend a lot of time researching credit card benefits.

The only major store not offering Sitka clearance this morning at 6 am was bass pro. I find that odd.

Sometimes it does pay to be the top dog in market share. FWIW, I bought an xl fanatic jacket for $223 this morning from a small online vendor. So, if you are looking for Sitka, this weekend is the time.

You probably should do a better job in your research. I use the same card and it's $250 per statement (which is 30 days). I earned over $2200 cash back last year and that wouldn't have been possible if limited to just $250 each quarter.

This is copied and pasted straight from their website:

Exclusively designed for high spenders with excellent credit A true cashback card: 2.5% cash back84 with no categories to track Maximum cash back earnings will be $250 ($10,000 in qualifying purchases) per billing cycle84

"Rhsheid my name is, I account set up for you."

I explained my issues with Cabela's customer service (actually 3 times before he understood me) and that my card had been hacked 3 times.

"Awwww, we good service customers, you like us, yes?, please to give us information on you?"

So, I gave him my full name, DOB, social security number, and all my bank account (savings account also) information, he promised to keep all of it private.

Because of a few questionable purchases from their bank, I've had to make a few phone calls, the customer service reps a re a bit hard to understand but they have assured me they are looking into the purchases. And once I have set up all my direct deposits from my retirement accounts and social security the questioned purchases will be taken care of.

Still better than Cabela's.
