Are Steam Gift Cards International?

[Ralphguy]

I recently moved to America and I was planning to buy a Steam Gift Card, but I wanted to know if a Steam Gift Cards from USA will work on a Philippines Account

Are there country restrictions on Steam Wallet codes?

Steam Wallet codes typically do not have any country restrictions and can be redeemed worldwide (Note, some cards issued in Southeast Asia may only be redeemable in this region).

Can I redeem a Steam Wallet code that is in a different currency?

Yes, however you will be prompted to convert the value of the Steam Wallet code to the currency of your Steam Wallet as shown below. The daily currency conversion rate will be applied.

Steam Wallet Cards are now restricted to the currency your store region uses.
So lets say, your Steam store uses Dollars, then you can use any Steam Wallet cards with Dollar values, even if your store is not in the USA.
If your store has a regional currency on Steam ( lets say Russian Ruble) you only can activate Steam Wallet cards that have that currency on it.

To clarify it a bit, there are still SOME store countries you can activate wallet cards with other currencies in.
For example, you can still activate Euro or Dollar wallet cards in the India Steam store.
But a lot of stores are now restricted, mainly the ones in which games cost a lot less then the international average. Argentina, Russia and so on.
Those store regions only accept wallet cards in their own currency.

So wait, does that mean if I have an American account, I can buy a gift card with Euros as the main currency and it would work? Or am I misreading that? Just wanting to make sure before I go buying one and then realizing it doesn't work.
