Steam $5 Discount

[JoJoFan87]

So would it be possible to use it on something cheaper than $5 and get it the thing free or is that not possible?

[GreenPea]

I believe you can, yes. The game isn't really free. You have to spend 30 dollars and do all the tasks then spend all 5000 tokens earned on the coupon.

On the other hand you could go to Epic, spend 5 dollars on a 15 dollar game and use their coupon. Then come back here and spend your 2000 tokens on something else. Oh and you can pick up free games each day for the entire week.

What would Tiny Tim do?

I guess it is possible.
If it is not, just add whatever items to cart and make it $5.

This sale sucked, you aren't getting anything for being a steam customer. Despite hating epic I hope they really stick it to steam, because the sales have been getting worse and customer appreication non existant. You can't even get the 5 dollar voucher multiple times anymore like past sales. Greedy pricks.

It's kinda ironic to hear people accuse others of being greedy for not giving them free stuff. I mean the way thhey talk about 'being a steam customer' you'd think it was a job or charity work on their part, asooposed to an equal exchange of goods. to mutual benefit.

Imagine if they were around in the sales when steam didn't give free stuff away :P

Imagine if we were around and we are angry because we no longer get the 75%+ off sales. All these 2014-current new steam users sucking Gaben off.

Also it sounds like steam is getting greedier and greedier hence why all the developers are clamouring to join other vendor sites. Then again you get people like Guydodge that gets every free shovelware game out there to bolster his collection.

Steam $5 Discount.


I don't think people realize...

The cost to get 5,000 Tokens is much higher then $5...

You would need to spend like $20 or $25
just to get the $5 Discount, or some kind of crazy $ ammount...

Then you would have to spend the Discount on a purchase
of $5 or something...

So now your Price just went up to $25 to $30 or some kind of
crazy $ amount on an Item that is only worth $5... o_@


It actually costs you more to get the Discount in the End,
then the Discount is even worth... You'd be better off not
buying the Discount, & saving yourself the $5 on the
Purchase...

It seems like you don't realize:

You aren't spending thirty dollars (assuming you get the two-thousand freebie tokens, of course) on a five-dollar discount. You're spending thirty dollars on products and being offered a five-dollar coupon thereafter.

If you're only buying things to save five dollars on a different thing .... you still end up with all those things.

It seems like you don't realize:

You aren't spending thirty dollars on a five-dollar discount. You're spending thirty dollars on products and being offered a five-dollar coupon thereafter.

If you're only buying other things to save five dollars on a different thing .... you still end up with all those things. :spazdunno:

That depends...

1.) Did you even want anything else besides the Item you wanted for $5?
Or did you only want the $5 Item...

2.) I can't remember, was a Game Purchase actually required to get Tokens?
Or were we actually allowed to just Fund our STEAM Accounts $1 per Token?

I thought Games were not Required to be bought for it to work...

3.) Are you really willing to spend $30 to $60 on multiple Games, when
you only need $5 for 1 that you wanted to use your Coupon over?

I mean, I guess it all depends on what you are actually spending
your Coupon on... a $5 Item, or a $60 Item in the End...

I'm just saying, that...

When you count up $1 = 1 Token... & see that 5,000 Tokens are required for $5 Discount,
it does not sound like the $5 is equal to that of 5,000 Tokens in the End...

Tally Up Your Tokens
For a detailed breakdown of your Festivity Token count, whether acquired via Steam purchases, Wallet funds, or Quests, visit Your Token History.


Acording to this...

It actually states Wallet Funds are Valid for getting Purchases of Tokens...


Which proves my point... 5,000 Tokens are not worth $5

If $1 = 1 Token... The Discount is not worth what your spending to get it with...

If you don't want to spend money in a store, don't be surprised the store doesn't give you five bucks for nothing.

2.) I can't remember, was a Game Purchase actually required to get Tokens?

Adding wallet funds, or making a purchase through another method, yields tokens.

.... 3.) Are you really willing to spend $30 to $60 on multiple Games, when

Sixty dollars? Why? One only needs five-thousand tokens for the voucher, so the actual range is thirty-fifty dollars.

Again, it sounds like you think it's "I must have this coupon, at any cost" and that is an irrational way to evaluate the offer that comes with this sale. At least, I think so. YMMV.

When you count up $1 = 1 Token... & see that 5,000 Tokens are required for $5 Discount,
it does not sound like the $5 is equal to that of 5,000 Tokens in the End...

Since you continue to ignore what the true ratio is, here we go again:

Earn More Tokens When you Shop in the Winter Sale
Shop on Steam during the Winter Sale and earn approximately 100 Festivity Tokens for every $1 you spend on Steam (we'll convert your spend to USD first, so it's really for every $1 USD you spend, you'll receive 100 Festivity Tokens). You will be granted Festivity Tokens when you fund your Steam Wallet (during the sale) or make a purchase using non-Steam Wallet funds.

It's one-hundred tokens earned per dollar. It is clearly not one token per dollar.

Oky, good luck...

I will not stop you... Do as you please...

I only know that i've spent $10's worth on Games... & did all the Quests
in the Event...

& still do not have anywhere near 5,000 Tokens... ~_~

Ten dollars is one-thousand tokens. Quests, if you've done today's already, would give you another 1500.

Two thousand five-hundred tokens is obviously not five-thousand. So, what's the issue?

On the topic of coupons, I do wish the coupon had multiple purchase limits, because only 1 is rather disappointing, I would know lots of people who would spend tons for the steam sales, and the $5 coupon for every 5000 tokens was a nice bit on the side, like a reward for spending. like "hey, congratulations on spending $50, you can get a $5 discount on us." and it would help encourage people to buy it more so it was good for business, but unfortunately it is only a one-time purchase which I hope can be revised, how about a 3 or 5 time limit, which would reward both sides and it would be fair for those who have lots and lots of festivity tokens.
