American Express Gift Cards not working with Steam.

I have a question. I bought an Amex gift card, and it doesn't work with steam, but it works with other things like humble bundle. What do I do? I know I have enough money to buy what I want to get, but it still doesn't go. The Amex site also says that it is active.

I do not suggest using pre-paid debit cards. In addition to being a ripoff (fees, lack of protections/support, no rewards) they also have trouble on some internet sites like Steam. Due to the high amount of attempted credit card fraud on Steam, they take a couple extra measures to verify the billing name and info that you submit is the same that the card issuer has on file. Since prepaid cards don't have that info by default purchases can often fail. Most card companies will allow you to contact the number on the back of the card for you to attach your billing info to the card.

In all honesty, your best bet would really be to just go to a local store and use the prepaid card to buy a Steam gift card if that is an option for you.Also, if you want to stick with AmEx then I would go with their Serve card.
