You can't, man. Most of us are locked out for a week, too. From now on, add your $6 codes to Amazon in the form of a gift. Then, you can buy Steam Wallet codes, if you want. It's unfortunate, I know...I wanted to build some badges today, but alas...ear wax.

Amazon doesn't actually sell Steam Wallet codes unless you want to pay extra.

Ugh. Stupid M&M money. $6 is not worth not being able to buy/sell cards for a freaking week :( if I email Steam support is there any chance they'd remove the restriction sooner?
Click to expand...
I forgot to bring up the marketplace with my M&M money question, and replayed with that since it's a related issue. We'll see if something comes of that!

Though someone else must've contacted about THAT immediately. Seems the thing to do going forward with Steam money is to use another source as a proxy, like Paypal, or just use that code elsewhere.

You could always just use it as Amazon credit instead though. I mean, I think they have more than Steam codes, probably.

... And less sarcastically they DO put up games you activate on Steam on sale, so there's still another way to use that money for Steam.

With so many good comments about The Blackwell Bundle, I decided to give it a try. I used to enjoy the old point and click adventures from the 90s and for $1.99 it's worth a try.

FUCK YOU M&MS!!! :mad: At least I was able to add my credit card back, for like 30 minutes, I couldn't. I was about to go insane If I had to wait for steam support to contact me via message. Fuck them for not having a customer support phone number, seriously :/

So I'm giving away one of the games in the banner above, which one though is a mystery.

Instructions/Rules/Stuff for participants:

-If you would like to take part in this give away you must draw a picture depicting the chaos of the Steam Summer Sale.

- You can rush it or take your time, the deadline is 10:41 PST; giving you about nine hours or so. (Also if someone could come up with some sort of countdown clock that I could embed that would be awesome!)

- When you post your artwork in the thread, please PM a link to your post so I keep track of everyone's submissions.

- I will not be judging, I'm leaving that job up to my sister. Here is her steam profile if you want to bribe her: http://steamcommunity.com/id/lordpooky :p

- Sometime after 9:41, I will post here letting people know who one and then I will gift that person the game over Steam.



Hopefully it will be fun and plenty straight forward. And if I have money after buying my new monitor and speakers then I will do some more of these before the sale ends, because having one game to give away originally wasn't my intention. EDIT: Also I will be reposting this throughout the day.

Got the same problem too, though I can't really complain since I've won $24 so far.

The only reason the reddit plan worked was the early lead caused the other four to give up as they had no motivation. Now that there is motivation for those teams, there's no easy way to manipulate the entire user base. It was a brilliant solution by Valve honestly.

yea pretty much

basically it was terrible and unfair at first, then rendered useless but fair and now no one gives a shit <3

I crafted a badge today (I needed to get up to level 8) and I felt like I wasted it doing it today. I was wrong! For victory!

Anyone know if this is worth it? I heard it has problems, but RA Salvatore wrote for it so it has to be good in that department!

Yes. It's really fun. There are a few problems that never got patched (on account of the developer being shuttered because baseball players don't know how to handle money) but they're minor-- no crashes, and the bugginess is a 2 or 3 (on a scale of 1 to Bethesda).

More importantly, it's fun. And they put a lot of work into making multiple unique stealth kill animations for each enemy type.

Thanks! How do I do the Amazon thing just in case I win another code? And will my $5 be refunded or was that lost too since it's a gift card?

I have no idea but the problem is people adding the M&M money to Steam wallet. I just find stuff that's under a $6 and just use the card. I've already done it 4 times. I haven't been locked out at all.

As others pointed out, I was wrong about being able to buy Steam Wallet cards with your winnings, but you can still use it to buy anything on Amazon, and Amazon does price match a lot of the Steam sales. You just purchase an Amazon gift card and use the $6 credit card info to do it. It'll ask you where you want your gift card emailed; just pick your own email address, and then follow the instructions in your email. Ta-da!

I'm not sure about your second question. If you added money to your wallet using the M&M credit cards, it'll stay in your wallet. They won't take that money away from you.

Thanks for the tip, if I win more debit cards from the contest I'll go through paypal. Just waiting for the 28th to regain my access.

Amazon has gotten lazy at price matching but if enough people click the option at bottom "tell us about a lower price" they'll probably match. They've been matching the price on the bigger games automatically of course.

The money didn't appear in my wallet. Will try to use the card via Amazon, if it's declined well I guess Steam took it and will be on hold or something.
