anyone else had a bad experience trying to use their lifetime warranty?

No, but they sent me 2 pairs of Lacrosse waders for free.

No problem

The policy is lifetime of the product against defect. Lots of abuse to the policy on a daily basis. Your waiders pops a hole while walking through the brush, not a defect. You put 50lb braid on your ultra light rod and it snapped when you snagged up, not a defect. You wore out your boots wearing them every day for a year not a defect. Now actual defects get taken care of and lots of others get taken care of as well but don’t expect a replacement indefinitely on hard used equipment.

Just picked up a brick of .22 CCI Blazers (500) for $11 so I like Cabela's this week! That $10 off the next $20 purchase and $5 in points was sweet. Now I have enough to be called a hoarder the next time a shortage comes around!

Was not sure the coupon would work for ammo but it did.

I never have tried but have always heard very good things about their warranty

We do not have a cabelas near me so I order direct from China or Japan or not a all.JMO

Every time I have used it no issues. I lost the strap on a bag, called to see if I could purchase a replacement strap, they replaced the entire bag free of charge. Purchased a dokken for training the dog, girlfriend left it out and he destroyed it, called to order a new one, they offered to send a replacement free of charge. With one of their newer stores opening only a mile from the house they have become my go to, we will see if that holds true as they get deeper into the bass pro merger.

I have had great luck with their clothing. I had a mt050 rain jacket spring a leak after 10 years I figured they would prorate it, but they had me go pick a brand new jacket off the rack free of charge. I have heard of people having issues with some of their lower cost products, but 0 trouble getting premium products replaced.

From what I read and my personal experience, they are top notch as far as the warranty. I have lost faith in their waders. That is the only thing so far. If you have a problem with something they with cover it. If what they have is in my price range I will but from them in a heart beat. Very rarely (once) have I have to return something. I believe they have one of the best return policy's available.

This is exactly why they are starting to crack down on what they accept for returns. Someone uses an item for a long time and it wears out and they think they should be able to return it.

Never had a Warranty issue that turned sour at Cabela's

I didn’t expect a full replacement but for the money I had invested in the gear I was not going to turn it down if they offered nor would I have been disappointed if they would have prorated it. The gear had been used but not abused by any means.

Never had an issue even on electronics
