Missed the sale due to bank issues

[SynFenix]

So I was waiting on getting paid today to get a couple of games and funds hit my account like 15 minutes after sale ended. Does Steam have an policies in place for this?

No. You are SOL.

Yeah. Sorry. They use to have a small window of holds for items ready to checkout but scrapped that due to abuse.

You may be interested in IsThereAnyDeal.com You can import your Steam Wishlist and set custom alerts when a game reaches a price you set from a variety of legit Steam (and other places like Origin or Upay if you want) key retailers.

Too bad summer is in such a different spot each year, so you can't plan for it.

Not planning ahead f'd you, not the bank...not Steam. You had 2 full weeks to make alternative arrangements.

If you had placed them in your cart and your card got declined than steam will hold your cart with the sale prices for 72 hours.

You can also get hit with overdraft fees if your account has this feature and the charge goes through...not worth it IMO

You're not to late to buy whatever you wanted. Just keep the money and be a little bit patient.

What you wanted?

There's few exceptions. Steam key for GTA V being one since I think only steam sells it. Then again Rockstar one is easy.

Yeah that's how a few of the bigger pubs do their products. Basically steam is the only place where you can get the steam version. All modern physical games and keys are linked to their service such as Ubi games and Uplay, GTA V and rockstar, even the witcher 3 and GOG (though the physical version doesn't need GOG)

I wish they all let each other clients know if a game was running.

I have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ machine with AMD Phenom X4 9850 and SATA HDD (SSD too but not for the games) and when Steam start fetching files Overwatch runs way worse than otherwise and it ♥♥♥♥ everything up.
I don't want to have to stop Steam each time I play a game but it's safest.

Witcher 3 seem to be on sale more or less all the time:

Try adding overwatch to Steam then set steam to not download during gameplay and it shouldn't happen again as long as you launch it through Steam
