How to check your Bass Pro Shop gift card balance online
Bass Pro Shop gift cards can be checked for remaining balance through their official website without needing to visit a store or call customer service. Go to basspro.com, scroll to the bottom of the page, and look for a link labeled "Gift Card Balance" or "Check Gift Card Balance." You will need to enter your gift card number and, if one was issued, the PIN printed on the back of the card.
The balance appears instantly once you submit the card details. This method works for both physical gift cards and digital gift cards sent by email. If you received your gift card by email, you can also click the balance-check link included in that email message.
Bass Pro Shop does not charge a fee to check your balance, and checking does not reduce the card's value. You can check as many times as you need.

- You will need your gift card number and the PIN on the back of the card to look up the balance.
- Digital gift cards sent by email include a direct link to check the balance without entering card details manually.

Checking your balance by phone or in store
If you prefer not to use the website, Bass Pro Shop customer service can look up your balance by phone. Call 1-800-227-7776 during business hours and have your gift card number ready. A representative will read your balance to you and can answer questions about where the card can be used.
You can also visit any Bass Pro Shop location in person and ask a cashier or customer service desk to check the balance for you. This is useful if you are already at the store and want to know how much you have left before shopping.
What to do if your gift card number is not working
If the website balance checker rejects your card number, the most common causes are typos or a card that has not been activated yet. Double-check that you entered the number exactly as it appears on the card, including any spaces or dashes. If the card was purchased recently, it may take a few hours to activate in the system.
If you received the gift card as a gift and the giver did not activate it before giving it to you, contact Bass Pro Shop customer service at 1-800-227-7776 with proof of purchase (a receipt or order number). They can activate the card and check the balance for you.
If the card was damaged, lost, or stolen, call customer service with your card number if you have it. Bass Pro Shop may be able to issue a replacement card or transfer the balance to a new card, though policies vary depending on how the card was purchased.
Understanding gift card expiration and terms
Bass Pro Shop gift cards do not have an expiration date under federal law. Once issued, the card remains valid indefinitely as long as there is a balance on it. However, some states have specific rules about gift card expiration, so check your state's consumer protection laws if you are concerned.
The balance on your card is not affected by checking it online or by phone. The card will not lose value simply because time has passed. If you have not used your card in several years, the balance should still be there when you check it.
Bass Pro Shop gift cards can be used at any Bass Pro Shop location or on their website. They cannot be used at Cabela's, which is a separate company, even though Bass Pro Shop owns Cabela's. If you have a Cabela's gift card instead, you will need to check that balance through Cabela's website or customer service.
What happens if your balance is zero
If your gift card balance shows zero, the card has been fully spent. You cannot reload or add money to a Bass Pro Shop gift card—once the balance reaches zero, the card cannot be used again. If you believe the balance should not be zero, contact customer service with your card number and the dates you remember using it.
Bass Pro Shop can look up your transaction history if you provide your card number. If there was an error or unauthorized use, they can investigate and may issue a replacement card or refund depending on the circumstances.
