So I just send moniez from one account to another? So why the fuck is everyone using giftcards? There is always a disk buying from key shops. Why aren't people just sending themselves some cash? Scratch Head

I do this ^. Through Steam i buy a giftcard and send it (through steam) to my alt account. My question is, do i have to wait 3 days? Does this still work?

What the summary, guys? Are the changes effective and there is no way to bypass?

This change was not made to affect the digital steam wallet gift system (which would be a net loss for steam so i doubt they will ever change it) it was made to stop criminals from abusing steam wallet cards they buy anonymously to launder and transfer money.

Thanks for the summary, so in conclusion, I can keep buying the so called "Global" steam wallet codes from my usual online keys store and activate those codes on my ARS account.

If the codes are not for ARS currency cards, they won’t work.

It seems to be random right now, some people are complaining on Reddit that their "global" cards are no longer accepted for ARG. Not worth the risk.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

Have you tried on newly created account tho?
Using on your 10+ old acc is a pointless test, you might have a high internal trust score on steam

My account is 16 years old and it didn‘t work with two different gift cards, one of them explicitly labeled global. Waiting for the three day grace period to end so I can try gifting to myself from my second account.

Yeah, just tried it, can‘t believe I‘ve wasted all these years buying gift cards from different shops like a sucker when I could‘ve just gifted them to myself... well, better late than never. Surprised Unfortunately, you can‘t seem to use your own wallet balance to pay for the gift card, so I guess I will have to create a giveaway for the 10€ card I couldn‘t activate sometime in the next few days...

Mm'yeah I never figured out (other than paranoia reasons) why people just didn't gift directly through Steam. It always sounded silly that people went to other stores when the costs were the same.

Then again its not like people were even listening to me when the stricter measurements for getting an account in a different region took place.

You still had a page and a half of various tits trying all kinds of ways except the one I said that was working. Rolling Eyes Laughing

Didn't know about the gift cards between accounts method Very Happy
And I'd still bet that the store gift cards bought here on retail would still work, but this method is much better than having to take that risk.

Why would you use Android app for that? What's wrong with ASF.
