Where Can You Get Steam Gift Cards or Wallet Codes?

Steam gift cards may be found at most big retail outlets, and the wallet code can be found on the back of the cards. A digital Steam gift card may be purchased directly from Steam or from a website like Amazon.

There are a slew of additional websites that offer Steam Wallet Codes, which may be delivered through text message or email. You input the code in the same location as the instructions above to redeem these in the same way as a real gift card.

Adding a Steam Gift Card From a Different Currency

Depending on whatever area you live in, the Steam shop is set in a certain currency. As a result, if you get a Steam gift card or wallet code in a foreign currency, you may have some difficulty adding your cash.

If your gift card is accepted, it will be converted to the currency specified for your Steam shop. You’ll get a payment error if you don’t do so. If you’re trying to add Steam money using a gift card that isn’t in the same currency as your Steam shop, you should contact Steam Support.
