Bass Pro Shops & Cabela’s Military & Veteran Discount

5% off firearms & ammo and 10% off other eligible merchandise, year-round, for military, veterans, and first responders — at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s.

Bass Pro Shops offers an everyday Legendary Salute military discount: 5% off firearms and ammunition and 10% off all other eligible merchandise, available year-round in stores and online. The same discount and terms apply at Cabela’s, since both stores are run by the same company. It’s an everyday program — not limited to Veterans Day or a single event.

Eligibility covers active-duty military, veterans, retirees, National Guard and reserve members, plus law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMTs, and fish & wildlife agents. To use it online or by phone you create a Bass Pro Shops or Cabela’s account, log in, and submit your verification details; in store you simply show a qualifying ID at the register.

This is an independent guide to help you use the offer. We’re not affiliated with Bass Pro Shops or Cabela’s, and the company controls the terms and can change them at any time. The official page notes "Exclusions Apply," so confirm the current details on the Legendary Salute page before you buy.

HOW IT WORKS

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s handle online verification through their own account system: you create (or sign in to) a Bass Pro/Cabela’s online account, submit your verification details while logged in, and once approved you receive instructions for applying the discount to orders. The official help page does not name a third-party vendor such as ID.me or SheerID — some third-party sites say SheerID, but that is unconfirmed on the official source. In store, no account is needed; just show a current qualifying ID at checkout.

It is one program across two banners. The Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s help pages carry identical terms — 5% off firearms and ammunition, 10% off other eligible merchandise — and both are copyrighted to BPS Direct, L.L.C. The Legendary Salute discount covers both stores. Fish & wildlife agents currently can’t verify online and must use the in-store route; for verification problems, contact Bass Pro/Cabela’s customer service.

A few widely repeated claims are not confirmed on Bass Pro’s or Cabela’s official source and are not stated here as fact: a specific itemized exclusion list (alcohol, boats, trailers, outboard motors, ATVs/UTVs, tractors, gift cards, licenses, services), that the discount stacks on top of sales, that spouses verify separately, and that you "verify once for life." The official Legendary Salute page confirms only that "Exclusions Apply" — verify the current details on the live page before buying.

Exclusions & fine print

The official Legendary Salute page states "Exclusions Apply." Bass Pro/Cabela’s do not publish the full itemized exclusion list in the official help content reviewed — confirm specifics on the live Legendary Salute page before buying.
Firearms and ammunition receive a reduced 5% (versus 10% on other merchandise) — confirmed officially.
Whether the discount stacks with sales or promotions is not stated on the official source — treat it as not guaranteed unless the live terms say otherwise.
Per-order and annual caps, gift-card rules, and return or shipping interactions are not stated on the official source.
Terms reflect U.S. Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does Bass Pro Shops offer a military discount?

Yes. Bass Pro Shops offers an everyday Legendary Salute discount: 5% off firearms and ammunition and 10% off all other eligible merchandise, in stores and online. The same discount applies at Cabela’s.

How much is the Bass Pro / Cabela’s military discount?

5% off firearms and ammunition, and 10% off all other eligible merchandise.

Is the discount only on Veterans Day, or year-round?

Year-round. It’s an everyday discount, not an event-only promotion. (Bass Pro may run extra limited-time offers around Veterans Day, but the base Legendary Salute discount is always available.)

Do veterans, retirees, and National Guard / reserve members qualify?

Yes. Bass Pro’s about page lists active military and veterans from all branches plus the National Guard and reserves, and the help page covers verified military personnel.

Do military spouses or dependents qualify?

Not stated on Bass Pro’s official source. Some third-party sites say spouses can verify separately, but that isn’t confirmed officially — check with Bass Pro/Cabela’s directly before assuming eligibility.

Does Bass Pro use ID.me, GovX, or SheerID?

Bass Pro’s and Cabela’s own help pages describe verifying through their own online account (create an account, log in, submit verification info) and do not name a third-party vendor. Some aggregators say SheerID, but that is unconfirmed on the official source.

Can I use the discount in stores?

Yes. Show a current ID verifying your military status (or your current employment as an LEO, firefighter, EMT, or fish & wildlife agent) at the register.

Does the discount cover first responders?

Yes — law enforcement officers, firefighters, and EMTs qualify, along with fish & wildlife agents (who currently must verify in store, not online).

What’s excluded?

The official page says "Exclusions Apply" but doesn’t list every item in the content we reviewed. Firearms and ammunition get a lower 5% rate. Confirm specific exclusions on the live Legendary Salute page before buying.

Can I combine it with sales or promo codes?

Bass Pro’s official source doesn’t state that the military discount stacks with sales. Some third-party sites say it does, but that’s unconfirmed — don’t count on stacking unless the live terms say so.
