It does not matter that you change to argentina if you will use gift cards. They change the currency to yours.

Happy to help your "friend"

Just remember they may get less depending on the current exchange rate from usd to Argentina currency. So if you gift them 50 usd they will only get 49.99 usd.

so 10$ will be 9.99$? (which will be 727 ARS)

so did it work?

At the point when this thread was created (2020) it was still possible to send Steam Digital Gift Cards to Argentina.
This was disabled by Steam in 2021.
Currently its not possible to send Steam Digital Gift Cards to either Argentina or Turkey from ANY other country.

No. Gift Cards from other countries are disabled for Argentina.
You have to use a card with Argentinian Peso on it.
And those have been discontinued.

Only on Argentina? A Mexican account can redeem a USD digital gift card?

the premise for all cross-country gifting these days is: likely not.

Ok, thanks

Well, cross country is fine if both countries have the same currency.
So you can for example redeem a German Steam Wallet card nearly everywhere in the EU because nearly every country uses the same currency, the EURO.

There are also a bunch of smaller countries that use USD as default on Steam because they dont have their own currency yet in the store.
Those countries can redeem US wallet cards since its also USD.

But if two store regions have different currencies i would say the answer is no, it wont work.
