Funds from Steam Wallet transfered to Amazon Gift Card Balance

How to transfer funds from my Steam Wallet to my Amazon Gift Card Balance Account?

You don't.

Steam wallet is not a bank. It's store credit. You spend it on Steam.

[Fake]

If you plan on using a 3rd party site to cash out your steam funds, you are just going to get scammed.

Some words or idea to think about for "Steam Support". It's possible to buy Steam Gift Cards through Amazon but you can't buy Amazon Gift Cards through Steam, why? Especially when the funds in ny Steam Wallet came from my bank's debit card almost 9 months ago. And I don't use that bank anymore, I've got a different bank.

Because Steam and Amazon are two entirely different types of businesses.

Because Amazon is an online department store and Steam sells video games, not gift cards. What does it matter where the money came from, you made a purchase when you added the funds to your Steam wallet.

Steam doesn't sell Amazon gift cards.

Because Steam is a store that sells it's own products and Amazon is a marketplace that sells a host of global items. You may as well be asking why Steam doesn't sell Primark vouchers.

So? Those funds that are on your Steam account are there forever and can be spent at any time. As soon as they were added to your account, they are bound to the Steam platform and cannot be transferred or 'cashed-out'. The source is totally irrelevant.

Valve actually stopped selling physical wallet cards on Amazon in 2011. No official retailer sells Steam wallet cards on Amazon. Only the 3rd party marketplaces resellers that jack up the prices for no real good reason sell them on Amazon.

Because that's not how any of thos works simply.

Valve have no reason to sell anything other than what they offer here. Why would they need to seel Amazon gift cards? You could equally ask why they don't sell cars.

In any case, there's a stark reason why you cannot transfer money back and forth - LAW. MONEY LAUNDERING AND FRAUD.

It's dead easy to wash money by taking it from a bank account, bunging it into something like Steam Wallet, then funneling it back to somewhere else,. Hey presto - trail messed up.

So if Valve did this, they would be in deep ♥♥♥♥ from the authorities. That's why nobody does this, you see?

That's like saying because you can buy a Starbucks gift card at Walmart you should be able to buy a Walmart gift cards with funds on your Starbucks app.... That's also like saying I bought a gift card with money from my bank acc...you know what, your logic is just all around flawed.

General rule: most places won't let you move funds from their app/wallet/account to some other app/wallet/account, nor will they let you cash it out for money. Just buy some games.
