Is tremendous gift card usable on Steam?

[nyankodesu0802]

I got a tremendous gift card, but I can't make a payment with it. It's said that the purchase failed because "Steam was not able to accept payment from your payment provider"
What does that mean? Is it saying that Tremendous gift card is not accepted on Steam?

What is a "Tremendous gift card?"

Edit: I see they have Steam gift cards for Malaysia, Mexico and United States currencies.

Currently facing the same issue (I'm from Brazil and my Steam account is set to another currency, while the gift card is in USD, so not sure if that might be the issue). I just opened a ticket with the Steam support team.

Your trying to circumvent the regional pricing, that's a good way to get your account permanently suspended.
You are supposed to use the store region that you live in, along with the currency of that region.

Can you explain how what you just said has been any help towards a solution?

Id really like to find help with this. Got several of these tremendous cards as payment for work and they seem to be useless everywhere

There isn't anything you can do if your store region is different then the region of the giftcard. You cannot redeem a gift card from another region onto your account as a security measure.

Well Hikari was responding specifically to someone's issue trying to mix-n-match currencies, which you can't do, but the user didn't seem to be aware of that. While it may not be a solution you want to hear, sometimes there just isn't if you're doing something that's not allowed.

Well if the error is the same as the OP's what part don't you understand? If you're having some other issue, well, you neglected to add any details about it in your post.

Sounds like your employer has given you a bad gift, or ripped you off if these gift cards were in lieu of a salary. Maybe you should ask your employer about the issue.
