If you get the card before you go, do it over the phone and TELL THEM YOU WANT THE INVITATION CARD TO THE CLEARANCE SALE.
Here's the deal, right off my postcard:
Cardholder brings credit card and postcard, gets $30 voucher for $100 sale.
If you bring someone else over 19 who applies, you get $40 in club points for each one. (You can bring up to 5).
THEY get a cap for applying and $15 in points when they are approved, and $10 in points the 2nd time they use it.
I'm not a spendthrift, but I used my Cabela's card for all my business and personal spending and pay it off in full every month. I've "let it ride" and about 3 years ago when I was doing a lot of business travelling, I got on the phone, put in an $800 order (range finder, binos, scope, broadheads, new boots, all kinds of boy toys...) and paid like $31. for it.
