Digital gift cards don't count. How have you added that money? Was it really 5 USD or some other amount in some other currency?

Did you do the math for 5 USD straight or did you go a bit above? And is that "online game code" a Steam wallet code or something else?

If by online game code you mean that you bought game keys from other retailers and added those games to your Steam account: That does not unlimit your account.

You need to add $5 directly to steam. No keys, no digital gift cards.

Steam wallet cards count.

Physical cards do. Not digital.

No. If that code doesn't count, why should games bought with that code count? It's like that "creative" math I've seen, adding 5$ and buying a game with that 5$ being equal to 10$ spent... You gotta admit, that's obviously false.

Or you need to add money to your account from your bank account or by buying a physical Steam gift card. The key is that you need to spend 'real' money directly on Steam.

i meant to use the 5 usd i have in this account to buy items for it to unlock my account

[Syahifeex]

i look back to the website that i bought the code and its says it is steam wallet code
