CheckoutI had a super frustrating experience with my recent online shopping at this website. I put five items in my cart, and they all said they were available when I picked them. But when I tried to pay, they told me one item wasn't in stock. So I had to go back, take it out of my cart, and start over with the checkout. This happened two more times, and I got so annoyed that I just cancelled my whole order. It was such a hassle and made me never want to shop here again.

CheckoutI tried to buy a fishing bag that was on sale for club members, but had a really frustrating experience. I had to sign up for a "Club membership" and the Cabela's Capitol One card to get the discount. Then when I went to buy it, I needed a CVV number that I didn't have. I followed the instructions to get a virtual card from Capital One, but couldn't access it without making a previous purchase. I called Capital One and they said I had to wait for the physical card to come in the mail, which would be too late for the sale. This whole thing made me feel tricked and annoyed because it seemed like I was misled about getting the discount easily. It's disappointing that a big brand like them would use sneaky tactics like this. Needless to say, I won't be in a hurry to buy from them again.
About Cabela's Program
Cabela's is a well-known retailer specializing in outdoor recreation merchandise, particularly focusing on fishing, hunting, and camping gear. Founded by Dick Cabela in 1961 in Chappell, Nebraska, the company started as a mail-order business when Dick Cabela began selling fishing flies he purchased during a furniture expo in Chicago. The business grew rapidly, leveraging catalog sales to reach a wider customer base. Over the years, Cabela's expanded its retail footprint, opening large-format stores across the United States and in Canada, which serve as destinations for outdoor enthusiasts. The stores are renowned for their elaborate displays, including museum-quality taxidermy, large aquariums, and demonstration areas. In 2017, Cabela's was acquired by Bass Pro Shops, another retailer specializing in outdoor gear, though the Cabela's brand continues to operate as a distinct entity within the combined company. The acquisition aimed to create a more efficient operation and enhance the overall customer experience by leveraging the strengths of both brands. Cabela's dedication to quality products and customer service has made it a beloved brand among outdoor enthusiasts.
