Steam Wallet Card Without Receipt

[TheAlmightyMonz]

I received a Steal Wallet Card as a gift over the holidays and realized that you must have the unique code on the receipt to get the credit. Unfortunately, the person that bought me this only gave the Steam Wallet Card and not the receipt.

Is there anyway to redeem the card without the receipt? Has anyone run into this problem?

If you got the physical card, just use the number on the back. You don't need the recipt.

Some stores print the code on the recipt, but you don't get get physical card.

I tried entering the physical code on the back. It is only 5 digits and it didnt seem to work. The code on the back says "This is not the code, Store purposes only." I am wondering if there is a way they can track the purchase through the 5 digit code on the card.

I also opened a ticket to Steam and they basically told me the instructions for redeeming Steam Wallet with a receipt. I am pretty sure Steam Support is operated by robots...

you're basically SOL.

the card is from Gamestop and they were SUPPOSED to tell the purchaser that the code is on the receipt. They usually take the card too because they don't want you giving it to people. Unless the person who bought it still has the receipt there's nothing that can be done. The code on the back is just a generic UPC code and isn't a steam one. Unless your friend has the receipt there's nothing anyone can do. Steam has no record of the purchase.

There is only ONE hope you have. If your friend bought the card and used their Gamestop PowerUp card during the purchase. When you do, you can look in your digital locker online and it stores the code there. That's pretty much the only way they can probably recover the code. Otherwise your friend can try going to Gamestop support and see if they can track it down via a credit card assuming that's what your friend used. if it was cash, you're basically SOL.

As an FYI BestBuy now has 'real' gift cards that have a full code that you can use to activate on Steam on the actual card itself.
