If you get a $50 USD steam card and use it in a different country/different currency on steam?

[nom]

Does it convert to the currencer you're using or did I mess up?

Yes, it appears so.

I have purchased steam cards and when added to my steam wallet it coverted to the local exchange rate - a $20 steam card conveted to approximately $15 usd last time I did that.

The biggest problems I expect you to have is:

1) card not activated.
> if it was paid for at the counter of the shop and the person behind the desk knows what they are doing then this is not a problem.

2) card already used.
> someone used a key generator and happend to get the code on your card.

3) card gives less than what you extect because of currency conversion.
> Patience - wait till the exchange rate is better, same as waiting for sales.

I have no idea if number 2 is even possible but would not suprise me if it was.

edit: spelling

I mean, it wouldn't really affect me much if the currency exchange rates are actually a thing as I'm from new zealand and my currency is worth less than the USD so it'd get more, and I'd doubt someone would've botted it anyways.
