Have you received a Visa gift card from someone? Are you a gamer wanting to use this gift card on Steam? Follow these steps to use Visa gift cards on Steam.
Our loved ones at times do not always know the right thing to gift us on special occasions. Many of them have started turning to gift cards as an option, once they have figured out the things we like. For people, who know exactly what their loved ones like, giving a particular store’s gift cards works the best. However, many of us often do not know what our loved ones really want, yet at the same time, we avoid trying to buy things that we are unsure about, fearing that the recipient will not like the gift.
In such a case, Visa gift cards come into play. They are the perfect gift for people unsure about their own choices of gifts for a loved one. Visa gift cards allow a person to fill money into a gift card, which the recipient can use to purchase things they like. The recipient can also buy multiple things or can spend it all in one place, online or even offline, in stores. It basically works like cash. If you are a recipient of a Visa gift card and are into gaming, one such platform where you can use this gift card is Steam. Steam is a digital platform where gamers can play, discuss and even create games.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE STEPS TO USE A VISA GIFT CARD ON STEAM:
- Open the Steam website. (Click HERE for easy access)
- Log into your account with your username and password.
- Open the menu on the top left corner of the screen.
- Choose the option in the menu that says “Account details”.

- Once you choose the above-mentioned option, you will be able to see your current payment method, if you click on the same, you will find a dropdown box with an option to choose the payment method you would like to use. Since you want to use a Visa gift card, you choose the option that says Visa, click continue after choosing the option.
- The website will then take you to a page where you are required to fill in details of the Visa gift card. These would include the gift card number, security code, expiration date, and billing information.
