Can't Buy Steam Wallet Code using Gamestop Gift Card Online

[FB || Enterprise1701G]

normally I would just go to my local gamestop and buy a physical card from there but they are currently not accepting cash, so I went to my local safeway to try to find one, but they didn't have one and I bought a gamestop gift card instead, because on their website it says they will still accept gift cards at their stores. they were still closed when I left the safeway so I thought I would try redeaming the gamestop card online and using it to purches digital steam wallet codes. I logged into my account, filled in my info, and enter the gift card info and it said the card was applied. I clicked on go to order review and then clicked on place order, but then I got an error saying "This product cannot be purchased with your GameStop gift card. Please use a different form of payment." it seams silly to me that gamestop's website won't accept their OWN gift cards. Am I doing something wrong here or have other encountered this error? also can I just redeam the gift card in store for a steam card? has anyone tried this?

You have to physically go to the store for that.

You can not use the gift card to purchase a different gift card.

I used my gamestop gift card to buy nintendo switch gift cards, and roblox gift cards. Is it only for steam?

More it depends on the Gamestop. I have seen some allow it and other will not.

You can in store but not through the website.

Happened to me today too

I messaged gamestop and they said they changed it due to the request of the manufacturer which I would assume is Valve/Steam

The answers in this forum are as varied as the answers I get from Gamestop stores.

Has anyone recently purchased a Steam Wallet Card in store with a Gamestop gift card?

I can get some Gamestop gift cards at 20% off, that's why I'm wondering.

I have read all the other posts in this thread, and just want to know about recent experiences. I know from personal experience, how quickly gamestop changes policies and how they ignore their posted policies.

That being said, numerous stores said that you can use a gamestop gift card to buy a Steam wallet card in store. Can anyone confirm this from recent personal experience?

Recent, 2 weeks ago, yes. 3 of 3 local GameStops allowed this.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
