Hey everyone.
I'm Max Dalton, and in this video I'm going to show you how to send a digital Steam gift
card.
You can't go wrong with a gift card.
And if your friend or family member is a PC or Mac gamer, you probably can't go wrong
with a Steam gift card.
Further, Steam makes it easy to send a digital gift card to friends and family members.
Steam digital gift cards can easily be sent to your Steam friends, and are less risky
than physical gift cards, where the numbers could get stolen while in a store.
The only requirement to send a gift card on Steam is that you have to be friends with
someone on Steam for at least three days before you can send that person a gift card.
Now let's walk through the steps to send someone a digital gift card on Steam.
Step 1.
Open your web browser, navigate to store.steampowered.com/digitalgiftcards, and then log in to your account if prompted.
You'll arrive at the Steam Gift Cards page.
Step 2.
Click the "Send through Steam" button in the Digital Gift Cards section.
The Digital Gift Cards screen appears.
Step 3.
Scroll down the screen to see the various gift card options.
You can choose a digital gift card with a value of $5, $10, $25, $50, or $100.
After choosing the amount associated with your Steam digital gift card, you'll be prompted
to verify your account by entering your password.
Enter the password associated with your Steam account, and then click "Sign In."
The Send It Now screen appears, displaying a list of your Steam friends.
Step 4.
Click to shade in the radio button that appears to the left of your Steam friend you want
to send a Steam digital gift card to.
Remember, if you haven't been friends with someone for more than three days, you'll see
a message that says that person is not yet eligible to receive this gift.
After you've been friends with someone for more than three days, that message will disappear
and you'll be able to send them a Steam gift card.
Click "Continue" after selecting the friend you want to send a Steam gift card to.
A screen appears prompting you to personalize your gift with a note.
Step 5.
Enter the Steam gift card recipient's first name, and then enter a message.
Click the drop-down arrow in the Your Sentiment section and then select the sentiment you
want to end your gift card with, and then enter your signature.
Click "Continue" after filling out these sections.
The Payment Method screen appears.
Step 6.
Click the drop-down arrow beneath Please Select a Payment Method, and then choose one of the
available payment methods.
Your chosen payment method will drive the additional information you're prompted for.
For example, if you enter Visa or MasterCard as the payment method, you'll need to enter
the standard card number, expiration date, and the standard address information.
Alternatively, if you choose PayPal, you'll be routed to a portal where you must enter
your PayPal account information and verify your purchase of a Steam digital gift card.
After entering your payment information you'll be taken to a Review Purchase screen.
Step 7.
Verify the information in the Review Purchase screen, specifically the payment method and
the Steam digital gift card amount.
Click to place a check mark in the radio box to the left of the statement asking you to
agree to the terms of the Steam Subscriber Agreement, and then click "Purchase" at the
bottom of the screen.
A screen thanking you for your purchase appears, displaying a purchase receipt you can print
with a confirmation code, and instructions around how to track your gift.
Congratulations!
