A Steam Wallet gift card for the CIS is prepaid credit for a Steam account, delivered as a code and redeemed on Steam itself. This listing carries 22 face values in US dollars, 1 to 100, and the code arrives minutes after the payment is confirmed. The amount becomes Steam Wallet balance, which is what Steam then spends on games, software and any other item sold on the store.

Twenty-two steps from 1 to 100 US dollars, and the only ladder here that starts at a single dollar — small top-ups are genuinely possible on this listing.

Which Account This Is For

The CIS listing is one of the family's dollar-denominated pages: its values are quoted in US dollars, and the credit that lands is the nominal dollar amount. Its own customer note adds one detail no sibling carries — the code is valid for 12 months — so a code bought now does not have to be redeemed immediately. Steam still converts the value to your wallet's currency when you redeem it.

What the Balance Pays For

Steam describes a gift card or wallet code as working "just like gift certificates": the balance can be redeemed on Steam for the purchase of games, software, and any other item you can purchase on Steam. It is wallet credit, not a game key, so it applies to whatever is in the cart today. Steam also notes that a code is converted to the currency of your Steam Wallet upon redemption, regardless of where it was purchased — which is why the value lands in your wallet's own currency rather than the one printed on the page you bought from.

How to Redeem

Sign in to the Steam account that should receive the balance — Steam requires you to be logged in to redeem a wallet code.
Open the Redeem a Steam Gift Card or Wallet Code page in the Steam client or on the store site.
Enter the code exactly as it was delivered and confirm.
The value is credited to your Steam Wallet immediately and shows in your account's balance.

Delivery

The code is digital: it appears on your order page and in your inbox automatically once payment is confirmed, normally within minutes, and nothing is shipped. Being a wallet code it carries a face value in US dollars, and it stays usable until you redeem it. If anything looks wrong, message live chat with the order number and the exact message on your screen.

Before You Buy

You have to be signed in to a Steam account to redeem a wallet code.
Steam states that a gift card or wallet code is converted to the currency of your Steam Wallet upon redemption, regardless of where it was purchased.
The balance is wallet credit rather than a game key, so it applies to whatever is in the cart.
This listing's customer note also gives the code a 12-month validity, so it does not have to be redeemed straight away.
Nothing is sent to Steam until you redeem the code, so when to credit the balance is your decision.

One practical point about buying for someone else: the code is not tied to a name until it is redeemed, so it can be handed over as a gift and redeemed on whichever Steam account enters it. Steam's requirement is simply that the account redeeming it is signed in, and the value is then converted into that wallet's own currency.
