First of all, this is a serious thread for people who want to add funds in their steam wallets, using other means, such as: gamecards, prepaid cards, etc.
This thread is also available for people who are interested in upgrading alternate tf2 account to premium but don't really know if such alternate means of funds adding are available in their country.
With all seriousness, don't comment in this thread if you're not interested in this matter.
[I]Think of this[/I]:
[B]"I'm looking to upgrade 6 tf2 accounts to premium, but I can't do it because of Steam restrictions. What alternatives do I have in adding funds to my steam wallet?"[/B]
What I want from you people:
- precise details about your local shops that sell these alternatives;
- no speculative and hear-say prices and opinions, only genuine information;
- please focus on your local/country and help us out with your info
[I]Example of comment:
Country: Romania
Shop: none (or shop name if there is any)
Type: gamecard, prepaid
Price: 5euro (or your currency)
Other: specify if instant buyout or not (prepaid cards are instant buyout, since they only require you to pay a price, not show your identity card and such)[/I]
P.S.1
As written before, this info will be updated for each country, with exact info... Only use the comment form I've posted, and add some extra info if needed.
P.S.2
[B][I][U]Alternatives to funding your steam wallet[/U][/I][/B], nothing more. We don't need gibberish about cell funds, cell cards, etc.
P.S.3
Information that will help people who want to [B][I][U]overcome the steam wallet restrictions[/U][/I][/B]: maximum of accounts per credit card / paypal account, etc.
By all means, post the alternatives that work with the steam wallet, including pricing, at least official ones. Be sure to state the country :P
Last time I checked, there are no such thing as Steam gift/money cards. You can buy a prepaid Visa card with $50 on it at Wal-Mart or Target or something, or get a job and transfer your money to a PayPal account.
If this really works, you're a total bro.
I wish I could pay with Phone Credit.
I used to play a game where you could purchase bonuses for Phone Credit.
LordGeorge, I need exact info on this thread, no speculation or hear-say.
Gimme the exact facts and I'll add them. Sentences that include "can" will not help us out.
No offence... I'm trying to keep this thread precise...
Also, keep the current format. No discussion of stuff that doesn't help you add funds in your steam wallet...

Same here. Felt a little scammed when I took one month of runescape a few years ago, but a permanent hat is different.
You can add money directly on your Steam Wallet using Qiwi Terminals in Russia, thats all i know.

I do have exact info. Steam gift cards would be well-known if they existed, but they don't. Just buy a prepaid Visa card and use that, or use money from a PayPal account.
Kefir, please elaborate on Qiwi Terminals.
Do they need specific papers, are they some sort of mobile bankomat, what are they?
I need exact info... Thanks.
LE: For now, I've deleted the country list. It will be populated if necessary...
They are mobile bankomats, yes.
Prices will be rubles only?
Do you just feed money, thus adding funds in your steam wallet, without the use of a CC?
More info please...

Yep, without CC and it will be rubles.
Did you try using it for several steam accounts in a short period of time?
From what I read, this is a nice method to add funds to several steam wallets at once.
Correct me if I'm wrong...
Never tried to do such a thing, so i cant tell you anything regarding this. You can find those bankomats in Central Russia, almost in every citi, dont know about Siberia though.
There are Paysafecards at least here in Finland. they come in 10€, 25€, 50€ and 100£ cards.
I'd fucking love to be able to pay for stuff with phone credit, i have a plan and don't use it at all so it all goes to waste at the end of the month.
It's my understanding that there is no minimum amount set when putting rubles in a steam wallet. I've seen a couple threads on different websites where Russians were offering to upgrade accounts to premium for anywhere from 1 key to $2.50. Here's a screenshot of one person who used the equivalent of 49 cents, and has nothing in his/her steam wallet.

They probably bought a paint, and could re-sell it on the steam marketplace for almost what they paid. Not a bad idea for Russians. Too bad the rest of us can't do this. :(
There's a Russian guy who does this as a service, you give him metal, craft hats etc and he will upgrade your account to premium. I wouldn't do this with your main, only to get idle alts.

Sounds very very shady.

I've done it twice, it's fine.

I bought 20 accounts from him when his price was 1.44 ref per account.
He's legit, don't worry.
you realize that was a year old necro post

Welp
I'd say PayPal is the best funding method if you have the option.
but really that necro
