Can I use multiple credit cards on same account ?

[Muammer93]

I have one credit card and two prepaid cards. Can I use all of them safely ? Or can I only use one of them ?

Hi, I asked the same question to support around 3 years ago and they told me that I can use maximum 2 cards per account. If I remember right, they also said I can use one card on a maximum of two accounts, but I'm not 100% sure of both issues I said above since it happened 3+ years ago. But I tried to help :) . Cheers.

Well, i think if you use many different credit cards close together (with many different names or addresses on them) it probably gets you some sort of "potential fraud" flag where they look at you more closely to see if you are using stolen credit cards.

However, in the three years i've been on Steam i've definitely more than 3 different credit cards. Starting out with my parents... then later my own, and now sometimes a business credit card, and i'm sure i must have used my boyfriend's card at some point too.

But this was all spread out over a period of time with me primarily using my own card.

It wasn't like i used four different cards in a 2 day period. Or across one week or any "close together" time frame. And at least two of my cards (business and personal) both have my name on it. i'm also certain i've used my own paypal as well (but also in my own name).

However, using 3 cards all at once close together.. ya.. i'd err on the side of caution like Ad1 said and probably only stick to 2.

My credit card has my name on it, but prepaids are nameless only contains numbers.

Unfortunately there is no Paypal support for my region any more.

And also yeah my question to support back then was if I can use more cards in a small period of time because on my main account I had insufficient funds and a game had a good price if I recall right and my friend offered to help. If I remember right I ended up asking him to transfer money to my account and then I bought what I wanted :)
