Gift to unlock the account

[Fiduval]

Hi there !

A friend just bought his first computer, and obviously I told him to download steam. The problem is that his account is limited, and for instance he can't afford the 5$ to unlock it. If I make a gift to him (5$ or more), will his account be unlocked ?
I am on Humble Bundle too and I have some keys on games I already have, if I give one of these keys to him and that the value of the game is 5 or more, will his account be unlocked ?

Thank you !

Nope. Only $5 put directly on steam wallet.

Nope
He must use his own money,your gift/game keys wont help him
He must directly add 5$ and spend it by himself

And how the ♥♥♥♥ he can bought a computer but cant afford to add 5$ into his account

It's because he saved a lot of money for this computer, and now there is not a lot of money and he can't afford the 5$ for this month ! (And it's pretty annoying waiting an entire month to unlock an account... -_-)

By the way, thanks for the answers ! :)

Why? He is a friend after all. 1% per day is enough.

Real friends never have to pay interest.

I've been on this place before and believe me it feels sad not having enough money to buy a couple of new games when you have the new PC right infront of you and no games to play. Last year I bought my first gaming PC and I had a tight budget of $1000 on PC (we have to pay a lot of taxes in India so PC parts/consoles cost us a couple of hundred bucks extra so a $700 PC in US cost us $1000). I ended up spending $1300 because graphics card, ram and cpu prices had skyrocketed and the local suppliers took advantages of this by saying the prices were high due to crypto-currency mining despite having all the stock they needed. I couldn't wait so ordered the parts anyway and had to play old/indie games for a while. I know its a totally different story but I can feel how your friend must be feeling.

Just lend $5 to your friend and take it back after a month.

I was joking, I won't make him pay any interest, and honestly, he can keep the 5$
