Cheap Steam Wallet Codes

Ldude777 on 17/04/2014 - 03:15

Hey OzBargainers, I was just wondering how everyone gets their Steam Wallet Codes and thought about sharing this method of mine. After EBGames hiked up the price and our currency dipped below the US, I've been finding that it seems fairly difficult to get these Steam Wallet Codes at a good price. I found this method to attain 2 x US$20 Steam wallet codes for the price of AU$35 (or $31 if you have an existing Telstra prepaid mobile), though this is more of a seasonal buy (need to wait for $10 starter kits and for G2A to have stock).

Step 1: Buy 3 x $30 Telstra starter kits for $10 when it is on sale and activate them.
Step 2: Buy 1 $5 recharge (or if you have another Telstra prepaid service transfer about $1 to one of the Telstra sims)
Step 3: Transfer some money around (Me2U) to get $45 on 2 sim cards (note: $10 max/day and $0.25 fee/transfer).
Step 4: Go to this link or search up Steam gift on G2A's website ($20).
Step 5: Buy 2 of these and use pay by phone option which allows you to buy US$20 steam credit for $45 Telstra credit (it may seem expensive but considering these Telstra sim cards were already discounted, it's actually a good buy imo).
Step 6: Accept the payment on your mobile service and there should be 9 messages sent, each deducting $5 from your mobile service.

The code should get sent to your mobile phone. I have actually bought from G2A with my mobile phone before, just not this exact method of transferring credit between accounts as I own a prepaid service while credit built up.

I've actually bought a $20 steam code off them with my phone and an error happened, but was fixed and code sent the next day. Their excuse was that I had purchased it at peak hour and their servers was under a heavy load. I've been meaning to share this idea with others though their site had no stock of the steam wallet codes until I checked now. I don't think this is a bad option for stocking up some credit for the Steam sales.

    I have a Telstra Pre-Paid mobile and often buy the cheap starter packs (it's hard to get them for below $12 these days). I might try this when G2A have stock of the $5 gift card. Thanks.

      Yeah I noticed that the prices of Telstra started kits have been pretty hard to find for about $10 nowadays, besides that $8 deal a while back.

      I've taken a look at the prices at G2A now and they seem to have jacked up the prices (probably because of exchange rates) so it's not really worth it anymore ($52.80 credit for a US$20 steam wallet code). It's still kinda useful for me (Telstra prepaid customer) as I eventually build up a lot of credit which I cannot use in the Google Play store as I've bought all the apps I wanted.

        Yes the price is outrageous now so I'm not going to bother. I'd rather use my telstra credit on excess data.

        Are there any other websites that accept telstra billing as a payment method? I'm an iPhone user so I don't use the Goole Play store.

          +1

          Excess data is a good option, but sometimes I don't even use all the data I'm given so might as well put it towards a game or so.

          AFAIK G2A and Google Play store are really the only places I know that allow mobile payments.

    Does this still work? I no longer see a mobile payment method? Or is it hidden under the other payment options?

      There is usually a mobile payment method, but usually right before the steam sales come up G2A does not offer mobile payments for steam credit.

      Right now, it won't work out as our AUD is god awful compared to the time I posted this (was US$45 mobile payment but last i remembered it was like $59.60). Doesn't serve as a good bargain anymore, but if you have enough credit lying around on a prepaid phone then it's better than just letting it stack up.
