USA Giftcard in another country 🌍

[peanutSnack]

Does a gift card have regional blocking? Like if I buy a gift card that's labeled in the store for use in the USA & Canada only and try to activate it in another country, will it work? I've heard that it doesn't affect anything 🌍

First off, Canada has CAD value cards so, no right off the bat for them.

What country are you located in?

Edit: I found your other post listing El Salvador as the country.

GOOD NEWS!

Yes ALL USD cards will work in the LATAM region...

How will retail Wallet Codes be affected by this change? For example, will it be possible to redeem USD wallet codes?

MENA - USD and LATAM - USD countries/regions will be able to redeem USD wallet codes after November 20th. In addition, Turkish lira and Argentine Pesos Steam wallet codes will automatically convert to USD based on the daily exchange rate when redeemed on Steam after November 20th.

Thanks for answering.
I forgot to say that the country I'm in (El Salvador) also has the US dollar as its local currency. So it would be more of a gift card geolocation problem. Does that usually happen as I described?

I'm glad Valve decided to do this instead of having LATAM USD region specific ones.

Happy gaming!
