Sign in to Steam and enter the code on Steam's page Redeem a Steam Gift Card or Wallet Code. The value is added to your Steam Wallet and can be used for purchases on Steam.

01Before you start

  • Read the Terms tab on the card's product page. A Steam card can carry a region or currency condition, for example that it is meant for accounts whose wallet uses the card's currency.
  • This article is about Steam gift cards, also called wallet codes. For a game key, see How do I activate a game key on Steam?.

03What to expect

Steam's redeem page says that gift cards and wallet codes are converted to the currency of your Steam Wallet when you redeem them. Steam decides this from your account. We cannot convert a card or move it to another account.
