What the royal F'k happened to Steam Gift Cards?
I always have been buying Steam Gift cards for god knows how long 2014? Back when Steam was at it's hayday and since summertime there has been less and less Steam cards. First the custom cards where you put your own amount in and then the 40 and now the 20$ cards are gone at ALL the stores. (I haven't tried Gamestop since then which I have about 30$ in store credit) but Dollar General,Fred Meyers,Staples.etc any place that sells cards no longer does Steam.

It started sometime in June. I thought it might have been the summer sale and they would get replenished but so far they haven't and before they never were all gone. Mostly the cheap ones were gone. I'm in Salem Oregon so having it in a bigger town is a scary sign.

Is this a bad sign that Steam is getting going out of business? They have seem to do dumb things with their rewards thing which I don't use or know anything about but people have said Steam has been doing dumb choices the last few years but think it's only that thing is being dumb but compiling it all the picture isn't pretty.

If Steam does go bye bye what will happen? I hope people have enough sense knock into them to you know actually SELL the better games at stores again so they won't be lost forever you know ACTUAL stores you walk into and buy something you hold in your hand and ching ching!

If Gamestop no longer sells them then I guess that's a really bad sign right? I've never known Gamestop to NOT sell them only to be out of them once in a while but not outright stop where you have every card BUT. I hope Gstop has them still. I'm going to have to check.

Hm , strange. Here in Germany you still get them pretty much everywhere.
The big supermarket chains, Gamestop, most gas stations and so on.
Just bought 2 x50 Euro cards yesterday.

Maybe its a regional thing?
Also there is zero chance that Steam is going out of business at the moment. So far they each year raised their win margin and 2019 is not a exception. Valve/Steam is healthier then ever at the moment.

They've definitely vanished from stores here in San Diego CA, though I haven't tried looking in gamestops, only main grocery type stores where they used to be plentiful.

Some stores stop selling them either due to not getting what they want out of the deal for selling the cards in their store, basically means they're asking for higher cut on the Steam card, or not selling fast enough, and consider them a burden to them.

Just something you may want to know, if you ask the store manager, may get more cards at your request.

I know Game Stop / EB Games still sell them, either sell the cards, or have to ask for a code which be printed on a receipt.

Walmart should still be selling them, and if you ask them they will stock up.

Well some people bought gift card digitally, physical one doesn't even exist in most of Indonesia region.

It could've been regional thing,

Well even if steam out of business it would be bought by someone else with a really ridiculous bidding or they just going to sank it all down.

As for GameStop I am pretty sure people treat that place as a joke most of the times.

Can someone say the same for console?

Cant really find them anymore in Sweden since Gamestop closed down. Just hope that Valve find more suitable retailers then selective gamestore for their cards.

The issue is that they don't look for them, they expect stores to contact them to inform them how to order Steam cards.

Like far as I know in Canada for our cards it's made by company called Fast Card. While at EB Games / Game Stop, they only sell you code printed on the receipt.

Yea maybe so i am not entirely sure how it works but since both eb and game closed down we are resolved to steam. While most of us aint that effected by it, some grandma might want to buy it to their kids on christmas or whatnot?
and tbh we have cards for paypal, android market and others it shouldent be that hard for other retailers to pick upp the slack from eb and gamestop.

I am in the Sacramento area and I have just left the 3rd straight store which used to sell them that doesn't now. Wal-Mart, Target, etc., no one seems to have them at all.

It's strange because I've bought them at the exact Wal-Mart I just left before, some time ago though. With an entire wall of cards from so many obscure places, it's odd to look even in the digital media cards and find Xbox, PlayStation, Google Play, etc. but Steam is nowhere to be seen.

Currently waiting on GameStop to open, hopefully, they'll have them there.

Note: I found and replied to this after myself doing a Google search trying to find out what happened to Dteam gift cards. No one seems to know, but there are several posts and threads around the internet asking the same thing.

Edit: So after some serious asking around I found an employee at Target willing to help me track one down. His inventory system said they had 21 of the $20 cards. We eventually found a ton of $100 cards in the electronics section with the Roblox, Origin, Minecraft, etc. cards.

There was no spot for the $20 cards, only $100 cards, but at least steam cards still exist here.

Thanks. I know the digital ones are still there, but I was looking for a physical one to put in a birthday card I'm sending someone.

If I don't find one when GamdStop opens, I'll give in and buy a digital one and print it.

Do you have a Walgreens, CVS, Doller General, Best Buy or Speedway?

First this is a 2019 dead thread.

Not a Steam issue. That's companies choosing not to carry or order enough of them.

Bestbuy had 20/25 whichever, 50, 100 at a fairly dead one. Had a lot of them.

It helps to go to the right places and a few posts hardly makes a huge issue. Plus you can reload through the client itself.

Businesses choose what to carry or not, them ordering a sufficient quantity is on them. If they choose to continue carrying anything. Your state is also doing not so well and is considering doubling the tax rate for income, so luxury items are more likely to not be carried if they're not a high selling item.

There's shortages and supply chain issues in so many places with so many things at the moment, It's not particularly surprising.

No I don't think it's a sign of anything, Steam is regularly hitting new record high player numbers. "People said Steam do dumb thing" is not exactly a compelling argument for anything lol.
