So if I use my vanilla mastercard and put in the zipcode for my house, with the correct address and information for myself, will this work? Also a side question, someone told me if you have a vanilla mastercard and you try to purchase something but there is an error or the purchase did not go through then your money was wasted, is that true? Thnx :)

The zip code is the important piece of data when purchasing games with gift cards. I would use your home address just to keep things consistent.

There is always a chance of a purchasing problem with any card. Things break. However, your money is NOT lost. If the transaction doesn't go though, your money stays on your card. If the transaction goes through but something happens in the Steam Store, you contact the Steam Store and either have the transaction completed or get a refund / credit.

Phantom Strike had a related question. I answered it. What's the problem?

Thank you! some of my friends are really superstitious about where their money goes and so they came up with this theory that once something goes wrong and the transaction doesn't go through, then you lost your money, so that helps a lot.

is there something im missing, when i set up my card it only asked for my zip code(i live in Canada), and i set up my card on the Mastercard website and Paypal, but its still not working. HELP PLEASE.

Yip they do work
When you need to verify the Vanilla Gift Card, you must log onto their web site https://www.vanillavisa.com/home.html. And go to your account history, you will see that steam took some money, it could be any amount from $1.15 - $1.75 but take both of those amounts that steam took, and use them to verify your card on steam. But make sure that your address is also correct, and also make sure that you register the zip code on the card. I hope helps.

Ugh I'm getting some stupid error message when I try. I just tried to use this card on another online source and it worked fine. This is what im looking at: http://gyazo.com/ca9f4a9a34df935720d2fe51e81a26bf

Oh well.

Based on your screencap, I would have rejected your transaction too. You have no name, no billing address, city, state, zip code, or telephone number.

A suggestion -- use whatever name and address is associated with your Steam account when purchasing games with your gift card. I've done that many times when I receive a gift card and it always, 100% of the time, works without error.

ive enterd all of my informaton correctly but it says there was an error intiliing or updating your transaction every time i try to enter my info

[ParzivalZero]

I got my card from my mom's friend on my birthday and she activated it already. I entered the gift card number and the zip code and the expiration date but what do i put for the name and billing adress and all that?

[Greebo]
