I already read this articles and they contradict each other. Examples: In the first link: "you may encounter an error if you try to activate a Steam Wallet Code issued in a different currency than the one of your Steam User Account." It doesnt say no you cant, it says you MAY encounter problems.
Then again it says in the same link: "If you have an existing Steam Wallet (regardless of the current balance), the funds will be added in your Steam Wallet's current currency.", but it says after : "Yes. Each Steam User Account is associated with a specific currency, which you can see in the top right corner of your Steam Client. You may encounter an error if you try to activate a Steam Wallet Code issued in a different currency than the one of your Steam User Account."
What are the country restrictions? I searched and it doesnt say anywhere, Am I supposed to assume the regions that can and cannot add different currency to their accounts.

The second link its not my situation bc: "If you have moved to a new country, or are living abroad for an extended period of time", Im neither the above, Im just travelling.

The third link says: "If you are unable to make purchases in your current region, look for Steam-compatible CD Keys and/or Steam Wallet Codes available for purchase at your local gaming retail stores." So that means I can buy in a store the code, but the other links says that it may not work because of country restrictions that i cant find it.

TLDR; Link 1 and 3 contradict each other, it doesnt say which are the country restrictions and the 2 link its not my situation.

The cards/codes are now currency restricted. They will throw an invalid error if the currency does not match.

So in the official steam page that you use to redeem code says: "Note: Steam Gift Cards and Wallet Codes will be converted to the currency of your Steam Wallet upon redemption, regardless of where they were purchased." ( https://store.steampowered.com/account/redeemwalletcode ). Is it wrong in both the only page you use to redeem the codes and in several of their FAQ pages about this topic?

Correct. That portion was not changed when the update to lock them did back during the summer.
