Bad news for bargain cave hunters
« on: Jul 15, 2018, 09:56 PM »
Went to my local cabelas today to check out the bargain cave and to my surprise the place was very empty. After talking with the guy at the counter he informed me that BPS is shutting down 60 of the 80 bargain caves. Man this just sucks as that was one of my main reasons to stop in there mostly. So you might want to get what you can at the store near you. Thank goodness I stole that clam x200 for $480 a couple months ago. I was watching it in there for over 4 months. Get it while you can. One other thing the guy in there told me was for any hope to keep some or all of them open was to send an email to BPS asking them to keep them open and maybe a little about why. I'm sending one tomorrow as that is my main reason for stopping in there and even if I don't find anything in there I do in the fishing section occasionally, which they will be losing my business on those trips now

He didn't say anything other than the 2 here in utah and 58 other stores. Best thing to do would be call the bargain cave you usually visit and ask them

Never liked Bass Pro. Have been crestfallen ever since they announced the take over of Cabela's. I figured they would adopt the Bass Pro business style. Cabela's always seemed to care about customer satisfaction. Bass Pro's profit line was the only thing they cared about.

Will give it about another six months before I close my Cabela's account.

Was a proud Cabela's black card user for 10+years and 2 months ago made the switch to a Citi card in which I get 1% on each purchase and then another 1% when the balance is paid. This is on every purchase, 2%. Not too bad compared to 1% on Cabela's card. Bass Pro has all but eliminated the Rock Bottom Deals on Cabelas website and they just don't have the sales like they used to. Very sad, but true :(

Cabelas has been my favorite store for the past 15 years but no more.  I cant stand the changes ever since BPS took over!  From now on it's Scheels and fleet farm!

Time to head on over to the store and see what they are saying for the one near me.

That's because BPS is MasterCard
