Steam Wallet Code Won't Redeem

[A wet napkin]

I bought a $20 Steam wallet code card at CVS pharmacy probably 20 minutes ago and when I try to type in the code it says "An unexpected error has occurred. Your code could not be redeemed at this time. Please contact Steam Support."

I have the receipt but there's no other code or anything on it, but it does say no refunds on gift cards. So is this a just problem with Steam right now and I'll be able to redeem it today, or should I go to CVS right now and try to get another card? I don't want to wait a month for Steam support to get back to me telling me I'm SOL.

have you tried with big letters and( - ) between every 4th letter?

did you type exactly what the card number/letters looks like?

Yeah, I've been trying combinations of what I might have messed up (like 0 and O) but to no avail.

FWIW, it wouldn't be a month. It would be a few days. I'm not suggesting that is acceptable with regards a billing issue. Just letting you know, that's all.

A few days still seems like a long time to me. I know that they can't help everyone immediately, but I think it would be better if I went to CVS sooner rather than later to say I had a problem redeeming the code.

The error is usually a sign of Steam's payment server acting up (again). Just wait a few hours/ a day and try again. If it won't work contact support. Payment issues seem to have a higher priority there (at least when I contacted them).

Steam servers are overloaded because of it being christmas day.

Having this too, but as said it's probably due to so many people making steam accounts today it's overloaded. Best bet is to wait until later or try again tomorrow.

I know this is a late respond but I think I can figure it out a bit why it won't work.

So it said you bought the card on Jul. 3 (A day before Jul. 4th) and of course there's going to be a Steam sale and people are going to be buying Steam Wallet cards to buy games. As of writing this it's 4th Of July and the sale is still going on, I bought a Steam Wallet card last night from Circle K at 9:50ish, and when I went to put the code in it said I had to wait several hours! I was freaking out because I thought I lost 20 bucks from a gift card! But I saw someone say that during the holidays (and sales) that the currency starts to act up because so many people are adding money to thier accounts. So I think I'm sadly going to miss the sale because of this goof up. But if it still doesn't work than I think I'm screwed.
But yeah, I hope that your card worked and such! Cause that would suck.
