Steam Card Codes

[whtwulf]

Is anyone else frustrated that when you peel off the strip, it takes off the numbers?! I have lost two gift cards because the numbers are simply not there, lifted off by the strip. This is not a case of simply taking a picture of the card and submitting it to Steam; the numbers are gone! Does anyone have a suggestion?

Aren't they scratchers?

You're supposed to scratch it, not peel it.

Use super glue to glue it back the way it was and then scratch it off like a lotto scratcher.

The strip is the numbers.

I have had this happen once or twice. Peeling the shiny stuff off like a sticker is not the right way and it often, but not always, takes the numbers off with it. Take a coin and scratch it. See if you can reattach the shiny stuff and scratch it with a coin. That has worked for me in the past.

Well, don't I feel stupid! Okay, the next card I receive, I'll try scratching instead. Thanks to those who responded.

Where are you getting these cards from? some places give you the receipt with the code on it.

Also, on the back of the card, it mentions "scratch off gently with coin" I don't know how you were able to peel off anything. Mistakes happen so, no worries.

Figured I'd post a link to the image of the Steam Gift Card showing the front/back of it.
