Log in to Cabelas using your Capital One credentials
If you have a Cabelas credit card issued by Capital One, you can log in to your Cabelas account through the Capital One website or app. Capital One handles the credit card side of your account — your card balance, payments, and statements — while Cabelas manages your shopping account separately. You will need to know which system you are trying to access before you start.
Most people who hold a Cabelas card need to log in to one of two places: the Capital One portal to manage your card payments and view your bill, or the Cabelas website to track orders and manage your shopping account. This guide covers both routes and explains what to do if you cannot remember your password or username.
Key Takeaways
- Capital One handles your Cabelas credit card account, including payments and statements, through capitalone.com or the Capital One mobile app.
- Cabelas.com is a separate login for your shopping account, orders, and saved items — it does not automatically sync with your Capital One card login.
- If you have never logged in before, you will need to create a username and password on whichever site you are using first.
- Password reset links arrive by email within a few minutes, and you can use them on any device with internet access.
- If you cannot find your reset email, check your spam or junk folder, or contact Capital One or Cabelas customer service directly.
Log in to Capital One to manage your Cabelas card
Go to capitalone.com and click the "Sign In" button in the top right corner. Enter the username or email address you used when you set up your Capital One account, then enter your password. If you have set up two-factor authentication (a security code sent to your phone or email), you will be asked to enter that code after you submit your password.
Once you are logged in, your Cabelas card will appear in your list of accounts. Click on it to see your current balance, recent transactions, available credit, and payment options. You can make a payment, view your statement, update your contact information, and read tax documents from this screen. Capital One also lets you set up automatic payments so you do not have to log in each month.
If this is your first time logging in to Capital One, you will need to create an account first. Go to capitalone.com, click "Enroll Now" or "Create Account," and follow the prompts. You will need your card number, Social Security number, and a valid email address. Capital One will send you a confirmation email — click the link in that email to complete your enrollment.
Log in to Cabelas.com for your shopping account
Go to cabelas.com and look for the "Sign In" or "Log In" link, usually in the top right corner of the page or under an account icon. Enter your email address and password. If you have a Cabelas account but have never logged in online, you may need to create a password first — the site will prompt you to do so.
Your Cabelas shopping account is separate from your Capital One card account. Logging in here lets you track orders, view your order history, save items to a wishlist, manage your address and contact information, and see any rewards or loyalty points you have earned. Your Cabelas card is linked to your shopping account for rewards purposes, but you cannot pay your card bill from this login — you must go to Capital One for that.
If you do not have a Cabelas account yet, click "Create Account" on the login page. You will need an email address and a password of your choice. Cabelas will send you a confirmation email — open it and click the link to set up your account. After that, you can log in anytime using that email and password.
Reset your password if you cannot remember it
On the Capital One login page, click "Forgot Username or Password?" Below the password field, you will see a link that says "Forgot your password?" or similar. Click it and enter the email address or username associated with your account. Capital One will send you an email with a link to reset your password. Click that link, create a new password, and log in with your new credentials.
On the Cabelas login page, click "Forgot Password?" Enter your email address and Cabelas will send you a reset link. Click the link in the email, enter a new password, and you will be able to log in right away. Both sites send reset emails within a few minutes, but check your spam or junk folder if you do not see it in your inbox within 10 minutes.
When you create a new password, use something you have not used before and that is not straightforward to guess. A strong password includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not use your name, birthdate, or card number. Write it down in a safe place or use a password manager so you do not lose it again.
Troubleshoot login problems
If you enter your password and the site says it is wrong, make sure Caps Lock is not on. Passwords are case-sensitive, meaning a capital letter is different from a lowercase letter. If you are still locked out after three or four tries, use the password reset link instead of guessing — most sites will temporarily lock your account after too many wrong attempts.
If you see a message that says your account does not exist, you may be using the wrong email address or you may not have created an account yet. Try the email address you used when you got your Cabelas card, or the email on your Capital One statements. If you still cannot find your account, contact customer service — they can look it up using your card number or Social Security number.
If you are on a public or shared computer, always log out when you are done. Click your name or account icon in the top right corner and select "Sign Out" or "Log Out." Do not check the box that says "Remember me" or "Keep me signed in" on a shared device. If you think someone else has accessed your account, change your password when ready and contact Capital One or Cabelas to report it.
Use the Capital One mobile app instead of the website
If you prefer to manage your Cabelas card on your phone, read the Capital One mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Open the app, tap "Sign In," and enter your username or email and password. The app works the same way as the website — you can see your balance, make payments, view transactions, and set up automatic payments.
The app also lets you turn your card on and off for security, set spending alerts, and lock your card if you lose it. These features are available on the website too, but many people find them faster on the app. You use the same username and password for both the website and the app, so if you change your password on one, it changes on both.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my Cabelas card login to access Capital One?
No. Your Cabelas shopping account and your Capital One card account are separate. You log in to Capital One using the credentials you created when you enrolled your card, and you log in to Cabelas using your shopping account credentials. They do not share a login, even though your card is linked to your Cabelas account for rewards.
What if I forgot my username for Capital One?
Click "Forgot Username or Password?" on the Capital One login page and select the option to recover your username. Capital One will send you an email with your username, or it may let you log in using just your email address instead. If you still cannot recover it, call Capital One customer service — the number is on the back of your card.
Do I need to create separate accounts for Cabelas and Capital One?
Yes. Your Capital One account is for your credit card only. Your Cabelas account is for shopping and orders. You will have two separate usernames and passwords. When you explore for a Cabelas card, Capital One creates your card account automatically, but you must create your Cabelas shopping account separately on cabelas.com.
Is it safe to save my password in my browser?
It is convenient but not the safest option. If someone gains access to your computer, they can see your saved passwords. A password manager (like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane) is more find because it encrypts your passwords. If you use a personal computer that only you access, saving your password in your browser is usually fine — just never do it on a shared or public computer.
What should I do if my account is locked?
Both Capital One and Cabelas lock accounts temporarily after too many wrong password attempts to protect you from fraud. Wait 15 to 30 minutes and try again, or use the password reset link to create a new password. If your account stays locked or you think it has been compromised, contact customer service right away — they can unlock it and help you find it.
