Go to your badge page and click "How do I earn card drops?" There's an explanation.

Apparently, we got them for voting during The Steam Awards

UPDATE: Extra cards not dropping anymore. Apparently, it was not a surprise gift from Valve. It was a bug and they fixed it :(

UPDATE 2: You can get 3 cards per day, not 2: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/kgRfq/you-can-get-3-event-cards-by-the-discovery-queue-not-just-2

valve messed up again.

Main page says: 2 cards daily
"GET TWO FREE TRADING CARDS EACH DAY PLUS, FIND GREAT DEALS"

Rules says: 3 cards daily.
"Explore Your Discovery Queue
If you’re Steam Level 5 and above, you’ll get a Steam Summer Sale trading card once you view all the items in your daily Steam Discovery Queue. You can continue and go through your Discovery Queue two more times each day to get a maximum of three card drops each day. (If you reach Steam Level 5 before the end of the sale, you’ll be granted the cards you earned by exploring your Steam Discovery Queue during the sale)."

Took me almost 5 hours of trying to complete the first queue, and so of course I got no bonus by then. :P

so basically valve is half-assing another sale as is standard operating procedure it appears.

i too, noticed that the faq clearly says 3 cards will drop every day. Do people still not believe valve just doesnt give a shit anymore?

the faq said its supposed to be 3, but the queue says 2, so probably at the last second they decided to remove a card from everyone's daily allotment and then never bothered to update the faq.

On steam page it says "GET TWO FREE TRADING CARDS EACH DAY PLUS, FIND GREAT DEALS" Also in last winter sale they gave only 2 cards from queue and 1 for voting for steam awards. So I don't see anywhere they mention for 3 cards from queue :D

on the faq it says "Explore Your Discovery Queue

It says "maximum 3 cards" to get the other one you've to invest 10 usd on store. That's what they meant I guess! :P

no, it literally says you can continue to go through your discovery queue 2 MORE times to get a max of 3 cards. Spending 10 on the store gets you an extra card of which there is no limit to. what i posted is specifically linked to discovery queue and no other means of obtaining extra cards. Its just simply valve messing up, not an interpretation issue.

lol what a joke 10$ in the store for a card XD, I hardly even get bundles now because of backlog, I guess that is it, 2 cards per day, super amazing summer sale.

I have no idea how many cards I got from my first discovery queue, since I already had a bunch of unknown size from crafting badges before the sale :/

I voted, got nothing extra, and going through my discovery queue for the third time isn't working either.
So I only got 2 cards after the first day :/.

I was kinda excited when I first read the thread cause I voted on the Steam Awards but now... anyway It´s a 28 cards total for free without the glitch. They will probably start to lose value as days go by, just like in the Steam Awards.

Wait how many cards are supposed to get someone per day and how? I pass one queue and got 13 cards at once but when i did other tasks i didn't received any more cards. Also when i checked my queue again it said i can get 2 more cards so when i pass queue 2 more times than i got notification that i got 2 cards for passing queue, but actually i didn't received any more cards except those on first queue. Totally confused.

I got 13 at first, second time around I got none, but the thing says I got 2 for the discovery queue so far. Okay, fine. However, I didn't get any cards after I bought some stuff, but it says I got 2. I feel I should complain about this, but I also feel I got extra cards already ... then again, I didn't ask for those free cards, but was then promised cards I didn't get :/

Same here, got 13 Cards for first discovery, and None Cards after for 2nd or 3rd Round also received no Card for buying stuff in steamstore.

My theory now is that since the extra cards were a bug, I'm not getting any new cards until I've "earned" the ones I already own ... so far I'm out 5 cards for purchases and discorvey queue, might be a few days until the next card drops for me ...
(either that or I just have to wait some more and will suddenly get all at once)

I think that's what is happening too. Until we reach those 13 we won't have new drops. But even so, I crafted the badge, have a reminder of this event, so I'm fine.

Same for me. Already thought it was some kind of bug when I didn't get cards for discovery anymore, but also no more cards when you buy something is just rude. (¬、¬)
