OK thanks. Good to know it's not just me. I still find it strange that purchasing Steam Wallet funds goes through but not the games directly, using the same card. I wonder if Steam uses two different accounts for these two things and one of them is blocked for wathever reason. But yeah, maybe I should stop buying fuckign games lol.

you should never, ever, ever use a direct credit card or paypal for steam, PSN, xbox, nintendo, etc. two reasons

1 - if your account is hacked (you are an old fuck, chances are getting higher every year) someone can charge insane amounts and fuck you over
2 - if you EVER do a chargeback on any of these digital platforms your account can get perma-banned/shutdown. happens all the time

i only load in wallet money (which you can buy at discounts everywhere) and it also prevents me from overbuying, i have like $1200 on my steam account and i've spent maybe $10 in the past 3 years on games there. psn/nintendo also limit your wallet size as another safety check. family knows not to buy me useless shit i don't want for birthdays, just give me steam/PSN credit.

i have that much loaded on my steam because for years you could get monthly free $10 from gamestop for being pro, i have it saved for the next steam deck.

gamestop - 5% off in store, can use trade credit (trade in console games, controllers, etc)
sams club has them 5% off in store around me i think (never bought)
target, dollar general, grocery stores, 7/11, etc usually run 5-10% sales every few weeks on psn/xbox/steam/nintendo

those are all legit places, there are plenty of shady sites like g2a etc that sell discounted steam cards but since they are usually acquired by scamming older people or retards i stay away. its very common for pajeets to convince someone the IRS is after them and the only way to avoid it is to send $500 in steam or itunes gift cards
