When they first opened up near Reno (very close to the CA boarder on I-80, for obvious reasons, IMO) Cabela's would let us group together all of their many discounts, even on firearms. I purchased a Colt SP-1 rifle there for about half the normal price because of all the discounts I was able to group together including for having the Black Cabala's Visa card at the time. I did a lot of business with them.I believe Cabela's
Then a few years later, I hear Cabela's was purchased by Bass Pro Shops. I was at the counter with 3K$ worth of stuff. I then discovered they no longer have any discounts, not even the vet discount on firearms. I cancelled the entire order and I have not been back since. And I no longer qualify for their black card (required to spend 25K$ in a year) but since then Capital bought out their Visa card so things there have also changed.
I was told by the employee at the checkout that they have already lost many firearm transactions over no longer having the vet discount, including mine. The employees felt they were getting the shaft also, in many ways when they were bought out by Bass Pro. They probably also lost many other customers. I have not been back since then, so I have no idea how they stand now with their vet discounts on firearms and other stuff.
