How to Buy Steam Games with Amazon Money

Are you looking to expand your Steam library without using your credit card? If you have accumulated Amazon gift cards or have received one as a gift, you might be wondering how to use that money to purchase games on Steam. Here’s a detailed guide on how to do just that.

Understanding Amazon Gift Cards

Before we dive into the process, it’s important to understand that Amazon gift cards can be used to purchase a variety of items on Amazon, including digital content. These cards are reloadable and can be purchased in various denominations.

Step 1: Check Your Amazon Gift Card Balance

Before you can use your Amazon gift card to buy Steam games, you need to check your balance. This can be done by visiting the Amazon website and logging into your account. Once logged in, navigate to the ‘Gift Cards & Promotions’ section and select ‘Check Balance’ next to your gift card.

Step 2: Purchase a Steam Gift Card

Once you have confirmed the balance on your Amazon gift card, the next step is to purchase a Steam gift card. This can be done by visiting the Amazon website and searching for ‘Steam gift card.’ You will then be presented with various denominations to choose from. Select the amount that matches the balance on your Amazon gift card.

After selecting the denomination, add the Steam gift card to your cart and proceed to checkout. During the checkout process, you will be prompted to enter the Amazon gift card as the payment method. Enter the card number and PIN, and complete the transaction.

Step 3: Redeem the Steam Gift Card

Once you have purchased the Steam gift card, it’s time to redeem it. To do this, visit the Steam website and log into your account. Navigate to the ‘Redeem a Steam Gift Card or Code’ section, which can be found under the ‘Help’ menu.

Enter the 20-digit code from the Steam gift card you purchased and click ‘Redeem.’ The balance will be added to your Steam wallet, and you can now use it to purchase games, software, or other digital content on the Steam platform.

Step 4: Browse and Purchase Games

With your Steam wallet loaded with funds from the Amazon gift card, you can now browse the Steam store and purchase games. Simply search for the game you want to buy, add it to your cart, and proceed to checkout. During the checkout process, you will be prompted to enter your payment information. Select ‘Use Steam Wallet’ as the payment method, and the game will be added to your library.

Step 5: Enjoy Your New Games

Once the purchase is complete, the game will be available in your Steam library. You can download and install it on your computer or other compatible devices. Now you can enjoy your new games without spending any real money.
