Updated on Tuesday July 9, 2024: For those of you that are avid hunters and fishers, or if you’re shopping Christmas presents for someone who is, Bass Pro Shops’ Black Friday sale is one event that shouldn’t be missed (especially if you’re planning on taking advantage of one of their in-store doorbuster deals or free early-bird giveaway). And while it’s still too early to have an official copy of their 2024 ad, we’re been tracking them for the last decade and know pretty much what to expect and when to expect it. Here are our predictions this year:
- The event is expected to kick-off on Monday November 25, 2024 both in-stores and online (that’s the Monday before Thanksgiving). The advertised offers are expected to be valid through Sunday December 1, 2024 or while in-stock inventory lasts.
- A handful of doorbuster “Hot Deals” (often indicated in the first few pages of the ad) are only available in-stores for 1-day-only on Friday November 29, 2024 beginning at 5:00AM when doors open. The first 250 customer in your local store on Black Friday can also expect to receive a free mystery gift card worth anywhere from $10 to $500 that can be used on a future purchase (often valid throughout December). Just remember, you must be 18+ years old to get one so forget about dragging all your kids with to the store in order to pick up more gift cards (other terms always apply, see page 2 in last year’s ad posted below for complete details as you can expect similar terms to return again).
- In terms of the deals, expect to see a little bit of everything on sale; from rifles to logo hoodies, to fishing reels to outdoor boots. They also often have specials on those big purchases such as ATVs and bass boats.
- Bass Pro Shops’ Black Friday ad is typically around 48 pages long. It should be leaked on or around Wednesday November 13, 2024, giving you plenty of time to plan ahead.
- During the month of November you can also expect to see Santa at your local store. So bring your kid for a free photo or take advantage of their photo package (last year it was 20% off for Club Members). You can reserve your spot up to 7 days in advance.
As always, the moment Bass Pro Shops’ Black Friday 2024 ad is available we’ll get it posted for you right here on this page. Be sure to check back for updates throughout the month of November or join our newsletter to stay informed. See you again soon and happy bargain hunting!
