Brief question about Steam Gift Cards and non-limited account
I have a short question.
I'm going to buy a gift card for a friend, in order to put money in his wallet; he has a limited account (even, it's a new account), and I have a doubt. When I do that, his Steam account will be unlimited? If not, he's planning to buy some things in a game's store (tf2), this will do his STEAM account unlimited? Has he to spend all the wallet to become unlimited?

Thank's a lot for all your answers, and I apologise for any writed mistake, I'm not English speaker :D

Adding a Steam Wallet card that is equal to $5 USD or more to their Steam account should do fine.

But if I gift to him a Digital $5 card to his wallet, and he spends the money inside a game's store, his account will be unlimited?

As was said before, that won't work.

It has to be a direct purchase on the account, or a physical Steam Wallet Card, to remove the limited status.

What If I buy a digital Steam wallet Card?
