NO RETAILER that I can find seems to do this. I want a physical credit-card like plastic item delivered to me in the mail at my home address. QUICK ANSWER A Steam gift card is a prepaid card that allows you to add funds to your Steam Wallet, which can be used for purchasing games, software, and hardware on the Steam platform. I do not want a code sent to my email address via digital delivery. Just like how you can buy Amazon Gift Cards, VISA gift cards, Starbucks Cards, whatever. I want some vendor, somewhere, to ship it to me, for the price of the card, plus a couple bucks for shipping. I do not want to visit a store to pick them up. I want to buy a few physical Steam gift cards. Does anyone have a lead on a website (PM me if you need to) where I can purchase them just like I can purchase Starbucks or Ulta or Michael's or Chili's or Applebees gift cards?!?ĮDIT: Again, I want the PHYSICAL PLASTIC CARD SHIPPED TO MY HOME ADDRESS. Yet for the life of me I can't find a single vendor that does it.Įven those "gift card exchange" websites blank out when I search for Steam. Yes, I can probably drive around in COVID-land looking for the physical racks of cards at Walgreens or Target, but I'd rather just have them shipped to me. Target or Walmart or any number of sites also have them, but they're "not available for shipping". Sure, Amazon has $50 cards for $80 because they're basically resold. A piece of plastic for $25 or $50 or $100. So either pay for the stuff you want to buy with a credit card or better yet debit card, or wait it out.Ĭould always connect paypal up to a bank account or credit card or debit card and buy stuff like that.I want to buy a few physical Steam gift cards. Heck the truck from the distributor could just as easily be late because of traffic, or flooding or blew a tire or what ever. if the companies that make them can't get the supplies in, then no extra can be made. Even if Valve order 10X more cards to be made. But as you said, we don’t typically have issues with those, so it’s probably okay. If there’s an issue with the card that receipts tends to be the proof of purchase when they contact the card issuer. Again not a Valve issue, it wouldn't be any ones fault in general. Those are the specific gift card receipts that indicated they were purchased, paid for, and activated. And while the cards might not be much, a little slow down at where they get printed can end up in extra days or weeks before more are sent out, or stores might actually be rationed cards with them only getting like say half they normally would. Something else you do have to take into consideration is there are still supply chain issues. They are not going to call and say "hey do you need more?" Its 100% up to target/walmart/whatever to contact who they need to get more. Other than sending the gift cards by courier, Valve is hands off how a company does that. The computer at the store says they are low or out of a product, who ever at the store gives the go ahead to order more, then order is sent to main office, main office orders more, Valve sends how much is ordered to the stores distributor which then breaks up the number ordered for all stores to what the stores ordered and then sends it to the stores.Īt no point does Valve send anyone to make sure the shelves have the proper stuff on them or any stuff on them.Īnd Valve has no shelves so they can't be empty.Īgain you are getting mad at the wrong company. There is nothing for Valve to improve at those stores, they have literally zero control or input. a few years ago every where was easy to get steam card in store. Same for steam company too? hope they read this comments and improve the company. ![]() You could really see empty rack and no refill. no wonder the so many store gonna closed because of bad management. ![]() Give the gift of fun with Steam Physical Gift Cards. Steam Gift Cards work just like a gift certificate which can be redeemed on Steam for the purchase of games, software, and any other item you can purchase on Steam. ![]() Human beings love to assume and guess too, even if they're on the clock making $9 an hour. Steam Gift Cards are the perfect gift of games to your friend or family member. And honestly their knowledge about the company and details about products and inventory may be quite questionable. You're talking to the monkey on the lowest branch of the banana tree. The retail employees doing checkout probably aren't in charge of inventory or what products the store carries.
