Gift card uk - eur
Hi, I have bought 2 gift cards in uk pounds and want to use them on a Dutch account which is in euros.
Can I do this?

Please help.... it is a Christmas present. The card will be validated whilst in the Netherlands (not sure if that makes a difference)

Thanks

Yes. It should be converted automatically.

No, you can't. You can only redeem Steam wallet cards that are in your currency. As the Netherlands use the Euro and not Great British Pound, you can not use those cards.

Not anymore. Valve disabled that due to abuse.

Hi folks I decided to try to redeem the £10 on my sons account. His account is also in euros.
Luckily it worked and it was converted to euros!
Now I have to get another one tomorrow for his cousin who is now £10 short for his Christmas gift!!!

Thanks for responding so quickly

Hello mate do you think if I tried using a top up card with Euros on a British account would it work??
