Buy a Steam Wallet Gift Card for South Africa

Ferdousur RahmanSep 29, 20264 min read63 views

The South Africa Steam Wallet listing carries 13 values in rand, 70 to 1,000. Here is the ladder as it stands today, how the redemption works on Steam, and what Steam's own notes say about the currency a wallet code is credited in.

This is the South Africa page of the Steam Wallet family: 13 face values in rand, from 70 to 1,000, issued as a wallet code rather than a game key. Steam treats that credit as gift-certificate balance — it pays for games, software and other store items — and it is converted to the currency of your Steam Wallet when you redeem it, regardless of where the card was purchased.

Thirteen steps from 70 to 1,000 rand, with an unusually fine low band at 70, 80, 90, 160 and 180 rand.

Availability is per value on this listing: 1 of the 13 are marked out of stock right now, leaving 12 that can be ordered. Read the status beside the value you want — a neighbouring step usually covers the same purchase.

Which Account This Is For

South Africa is the only ZAR listing in this family, so the rand ladder is quoted nowhere else here. Thirteen values cover a wide range, starting deliberately small so a single purchase does not need a large balance. One of them is out of stock at the moment. At redemption, Steam converts the value into the currency of your Steam Wallet, regardless of where the code was purchased.

What the Balance Pays For

The balance is store credit with one purpose: Steam purchases. Steam's own description is that gift cards and wallet codes work like gift certificates, redeemed on Steam for games, software and any other item sold there. Two details follow from Steam's documentation rather than from us: the code converts to the currency of your Steam Wallet when it is redeemed, no matter where it was bought, and your wallet balance is held in your account's own currency.

How to Redeem

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

Delivery

Delivery is digital and automatic — the code lands on the order page and in your inbox minutes after payment clears, with no card in the post, denominated in rand. Nothing is sent to Steam until you redeem it yourself, so the timing is entirely yours. If it does not behave as described, contact live chat with the order number.

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 confirms the code can be safely stored and redeemed later.
  • Nothing is sent to Steam until you redeem the code, so when to credit the balance is your decision.

Worth knowing before you buy: because Steam converts a wallet code into the currency of the account that redeems it, the figure on this page describes what is credited rather than a storefront you are locked to. What you are choosing here is the amount, and the amount is what the ladder above sets out.
