Alternative to Paypal and Visa for payment to Stream
Today, I closed my PayPal account in protest. I live in the UK, but I am unsure which alternatives to PayPal I could use (as I only relied on it for Steam and flights), while also trying to minimize the use of my Visa card. I know about gift cards—I think I saw some at GameStop—but as I mentioned, I would prefer to use Visa as little as possible.

Then buy Steam Wallet cards using either cash or via local bank debit card at your nearest GameStop or grocery store.

My point is using visa less possible, If i use my card, I still send some money to visa. Can't I do wire transfer to stream wallet?

If you're wanting to make a stand, you'll have to make do with what other options are available. Does GameStop not accept cash? Banks still offer cash withdrawals. Get cash from bank, give cash to GameStop, GameStop give Steam card.

There's a reason why these payment services are as popular as they are. They remove a lot of obstacles to the purchase process. If you don't want to use them, you'll have to navigate those obstacles on your own.

Is wire transfer a payment option? It's not? So what's the question?

Here's a quick reality check, Valve is not participating in your protest. So if you throw roadblocks in your own way, that's all on you to get around them. Good luck.

Spamming repetitive topics on the subject isn't going to change Valve's mind.

Whenever you purchase something from Steam, Steam asks you to choose a payment method, from a list that's specific to your country. It gives you all the options that you have in that country.
