Ok, thanks. Apparently I'm just incredibly slow when copy/pasting.
Edit:
What?

If you're trying to win the game, then yes either copy/paste the entire line or just the code will suffice. I think the quote bit refers to the actual giveaway process, not redeeming.
I have posted in there.
When modbot pms you, you are suppose to quote the message that is sent you to and post it in the thread.

Finally bought an Amazon Gift Card, so now I can use Amazon Payments to get Humble Bundles
If I buy a digtal game on Amazon, do I get the Steam key? I've seen others mention that.
Also does Amazon sell Steam Wallet codes? I knows they sell MS Points and PSN codes, you get the codes online.

No, I understand that part completely, thanks though. My initial question was in regards to attempting to win a giveaway. Just wanted to make sure the entire line wasn't required, as I've been pasting just the codes and was hoping my awful luck was just someone sitting on the page refreshing endlessly, not my own incompetence.
What? You were on here with us most of the day how did you miss it?
Ahh sorry, misunderstood. Yeah, paste whatever code is posted (i.e. MB-0B1EEC3F7550F289), and pm that to the modbot. There are some lightening fast jackals so don't think its bad luck.
It will tell you whether it uses Steam or not. If it does, then you will receive a Steam key.
Don't know if they sell wallet codes. :/
Yes, but only if it mentions Steam DRM on the page.
Like this, for example:

Money or Not having a good computer?
If it's money just idle in games to get trading cards then sell them. That's what I did. I've only spent 8 dollars of my own money on this sale and I've got around 6 games.
If it's not having a computer...nothing you can do about that except buy/build one.

Amazon Payment doesn't give you the keys through Amazon for Humble Bundles, the HB website gives them to you still.
You're given a Key that can be redeemed either through Amazon or Steam (I believe); all I know is that I always copy/paste the key into Steam to avoid having half of my stuff on Amazon and the other half on Steam.
I think only Gamestop gives Steam Wallet cards.

If the game description says you need a Steam account to activate the game, it comes with a code.
And no, Amazon doesn't sell Steam cards or codes. I wish they did.

Should i sell my Trine 2 Booster Pack for 70-75 cents?
When I had a booster, I opened it instead of selling it for .75~ish cents. Big mistake..the three useless cards inside were worth .08 on their own.

They do not.
I've been considering using my Bing rewards to get those Tango cards that convert to Target cards to get Steam funds.

Amazon does not unfortunately, and given you're discussing gift card use I doubt it's much help but it's worth noting that Best Buy, Target, and Gamestop all sell wallet cards. Walmart may as well, but I make it a point to avoid Walmart.

Always sell boosters! I sold my Bastion booster and pretty much got enough for five Bastion cards (a whole badge)
whyy?
Both, I neither have a credit card nor a good computer. Can barely scrape off 10-15 FPS in TF2, I plan on building a good computer soon. Mostly the credit card issue though, I can always buy games and then build the computer later when I can afford it.
I have some games from the generosity of my personal friends irl who have "donated" as they call it to helping me get some games for when I get the computer but I can't even play most of them.

Last time I checked out the HB site, there was Pay With Amazon option
Thanks for the info about buying games from Amazon
Best Buy, CVS, 7/11, etc also sell Wallet codes/cards. Either as actual cards or a code printed on a receipt. Just was curious if Amazon sold codes online like they do with XBLA and PSN codes

for people looking for something to play:
Anodyne is on sale for $4.99 on Steam or $4.49 on the Humble Store.
It also has cards!
I love the game so far, really scratches that old school zelda itch

That's a Bad Rats profit! Turn that profit into Bad Rats!

If it makes you feel better I had the same computer from 2003-2011. After about 2006 or so I wasn't able to play most new PC games so I understand. I also didn't have a credit card then either...actually I still don't really have one (just my debit card + amazon store card that's not usable on digital items, sadly). Remember kids: Don't fuck up your credit in college.
Bro buy Trials. So much fun. So little money,

Yup, I have a similar success story. I started with 0 cents at the beginning. After buying. selling, and flipping cards I've made $4.40 without using any of my actual cash.
On the bright side I can play Hotline Miami at least so I'm having fun!
Any tips for this?

It was a good stealth action game but a bad Hitman game. It wasn't the game I was anticipating after Blood Money introduced me to the stealth genre. If you enjoy stealth in general, you may enjoy it, but if you expecting a next gen Blood Money, you might be disappointed

Why is Hitman showing up for $79.99?
And WHA?

Nothing really. I was more trying to see if he was gone for good or not.

Sell 1 cent below the lowest if you can and are willing to settle, then watch a healthy card market (anything that makes 50 cents or higher) for people who get desperate or don't care for funds and scoop up the card if you can.
Example: I once saw Hunter (DmC) go up for $0.12, and I snagged it asap. Later sold it for $0.85. ~$0.70 in profits. After a few scouts and good luck (as well as patience), you can turn a decent amount of profit.

Uh, System Shock 2, but you only get 3 cards from playing.
If you liked Splinter Cell Conviction, you'll like Absolution. They're pretty similar.
