buying things

[suntchrispat]

So bassically if i buy something using a credit card will steam send a message or an email notificating that i bought something?

There's a fine line isn't there. :)

I mean, if it's YOUR money, you have 100% right to use it. Obviously if you're using it for less-than-family-friendly things on steam lol that's entirely on you ;)

Then you need to work on those trust issues, it's absolutely not something you want to lose your Steam account over, is it.

yeah you are right , but im still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 19 , and have a job and everything

and your parents are on the card. if you mess up with handling your card, they will also suffer for it. its not just your credit rating that tanks.

if they ask about the purchase, just tell them what you bought. if you dont want them knowing what you are doing, either buy steam wallet cards at a store or get your own credit card. until you have an established credit history, it may not to be easy to get one.

first time I applied for a card, they said no because I had no history.

Steam sends an email to the address listed on the Steam account for each purchase. Now some credit cards may or may not send an email to the address listed on the credit card account for any charges, depends if they offer that and whether or not it is turned on by the card holder.



Sounds like you have some trust issues with your parents to work out rather than buying games with their credit cards.

well its my credit card , but she has the app that tells her see what i buy, ))))))

it might be your card but it's her account or a shared account that has her name on it, then.

right... not hard to explain. stop buying games that you don't need then and focus on just building your credit so you can finally move on to your very own accounts and not worry about notifications and such.

stop being a child. give your mom $10 and tell her why. then buy your game. easy enough.

It's going to depend on how the app works on whether you'll be able to make a purchase without your mother knowing. Presumably the app tracks when the account is used, and since there's no way to hide that the account was used to make a purchase you're going to get caught.

You could try lying about what you purchased, but when she checks the transaction history it will show the money went to Valve Inc (or whatever the official company name is), and a simple search on her part will quickly indicate that you bought a game.
