Steam digital wallet cards gifted to your account does not unlimit the account.

Buy a physical card/code.

Digital gift cards won't unlimit your account. YOU have to spend $5 USD.

Any wallet money you receive from a gift, will NOT count towards the total. Even if you spend it all.

Buy physical wallet cards/codes from a local store.

Get a physical Steam Gift Card, or a Visa gift card. Or a PaySafe Card.

Do you live in a country where they sell it in your local currency but on Steam you have to pay in USD? If so then it took currency conversion into account and you had the USD equivalent.

everything here is in AED/DHS which is stands for United Arab Emirates Dirhams but thats in dollers idk why so i still bought it was 15 dollers which is around 50 or 40 dhs here so when i add the money i thought i could buy gift card with that money but nothing was around 15 dollers everthing was like 50 or 25 or 100 maybe its not a scam but they said i could buy steam,starbucks,ps4, etc. but it was all so expensive i had to add 3 or 4 times the money. in that times i was a small kid i was like 11 so i couldnt get money ez niether i can now but who cares it long time ago i never bought it again 15 dollers is big here btw
