How to check your Steam gift card balance
Steam gift cards do not have a balance page. Redeem the code in the Steam app or at the Steam website under Games, then Redeem a Steam Wallet Code. The funds are added to your Steam Wallet, where the balance is shown.

Why PC gamers stock up
Steam runs legendary sales. Summer Sale, Winter Sale, and weekly deals offer 50-90% off major titles. Buying gift cards at a discount and shopping during a Steam sale means massive combined savings.
New game releases run $40-70. Your discounted wallet funds work on everything in the Steam store.
Common questions
Do Steam gift cards expire?
No. Wallet funds don't expire. See our guide on whether gift cards expire.
Can I add multiple gift cards?
Yes. Each card adds to your Steam wallet.
Do they work on any game?
Yes. Your wallet covers any purchase on the Steam platform.
Can I get cash back for a Steam gift card balance?
Usually gift cards are not redeemable for cash, but some states require it for small leftover balances. California, for example, requires retailers to cash out gift card balances under $10, and several other states have similar rules with different thresholds. Check your state law for the exact amount.
Steam promo codes and coupons
Searching for Steam promo codes? Codes are hit or miss, expire quickly, and often exclude what you actually want. A discounted Steam gift card works differently: it gives you a guaranteed discount on every purchase, stacks on top of any sale or coupon you do find, and never expires. Check the current discount above, then apply the card at checkout.
