cart saving bullcrap

[SetNode]

Whenever my purchase fails, it says that it failed, I get a email stating my cart will be saved. Which happens. But what it also says, is **"INCLUDING DISCOUNTS"** but it doesn't save discounts.

Hey KevinTOC,

I looked up your issue and I do not see anybody else with this issue.
So you are the first one to have this or it is a client-side issue. If you are using the web-version of the steam store you could try clearing your browser cache, cookies and history. If you are using the steam client try rebooting steam. If this still doesn't work I recommend you contacting Steam Support.

Good luck!

Well, I was using the mobile version of steam at that time. (It also seems that my cart only saved on my phone, and not my PC version.)

Cart saves per device, sorry. And discounts only save until the sale ends, not after.

So, that statement saying "including discounts" is pretty much useless, as it's not true.

So, technically, they're lying that they save discounts.

No, the discount is saved as long as the discount time lasts. Then the sale/Weekend deal/daily deal ends so does the dicount part of the cart change price to what price the item has at the moment. Discount save in cart is a short time save for discount time, not until you see fit to pay.

"There was an error with a recent Steam purchase.
We've saved your cart (including discounts) for 72 hours so you can attempt your purchase again."

There is no disclaimer in the email, stating that discounts do not save after the sale

Would assume that that was obvious. The sale ends as does the sale price of the item.

You said "whenever my purchase fails"...

Which leads one to think, by reading those words, that you get that error often.

I have maybe seen that error once in almost 10 years, so there must be a reason you get it often, if you do.

Do you only get the error on PC Steam client or phone app ? Or, do you get the error on both ?

How often do you see that error message ? Usually trying soon after or at a later time gets around that, depending on the issue related to the cause of the error.

This is not true.

If your purchase fails, Steam will save your shopping cart (at the sale price) for three days (exactly 72 hours) so you can try to make your purchase again. Any discounts applied to your failed purchase will be saved, even if they are no longer available in the Steam store

OP try to contact support ASAP.

I will also add that it worked for me but in my case I waited for my paycheck so I got denied by "steam error"(empty credit card XD) and than it saved my cart but than YOU HAVE TO GO through> steam support>purchases>your last purchase( make sure it is the one with all the games u want)>and thats it enjoy ur games! Thx for this Topic I would give up the sale if I didnt found this info coz I remember the time when steam didnt saved discounts.

Cheers!
