5$

I don't have enough 1 dollar to fully unlock the functions of Steam, and if a friend sends me a gift card for 1 dollar, does it protect me?

How do I gain access to these features?

You will need to spend at least $5.00 USD within the Steam store. Click here to view your current limited user spend.

Some examples of purchases that grant access to these features are:

• Adding the equivalent of $5 USD or more to your Steam Wallet
  
• Purchasing game(s) that are equal to $5 USD or more from the Steam store
  
• Adding a Steam Wallet card that is equal to $5 USD or more to your Steam account
  
• Purchasing a Steam gift that is equal to $5 USD or more from the Steam store
  
  

  (Receiving a Steam gift or digital gift card from a friend doesn't count)

gifts from friends and keys dont count

I keep it simple.

A) You add funds to your steam wallet to meet the equivalent of $5 USD, or more. PLEASE NOTE FRIENDS GIFITING / GIVING TO YOU DOES NOT!!! COUNTS TOWARDS THIS.

B) You buy something on Steam using external payment method such as bank/credit card, or bank transfer such as paypal.

A question about these $ 5.
If a steam account aged the year after year; before the 5 $ rule; and after this advent it no longer aged; By paying the $ 5 in the Valve store, it recovers every year in which the account is no longer aged?

Account age has nothing to do with a restricted account, its just $5 spent in total and once that is hit its unlimited forever.

I made this reference because I have a friend's account that finished aging the day that the rules of $ 5 were introduced

Not sure what you mean by aging. The age of an account has nothing to do with the $5 restrictions, it applies to all accounts regardless of how old or new they are

Accounts that have not spent $5 when the $5 restriction was added were retroactively reverted back to being a limited account. Their years of service badge was then locked to whatever it was when the restriction was added and can no longer update until the $5 restriction was lifted.
