Serious Sam 3 steam coupon, tradeable?

Closed

So, I just discovered a 75% off coupon for Serious Sam 3 in my steam inventory. At the bottom of the coupon, it states that it is tradeable. But, it does not display any options for gifting/trading it to another person, only the button that links to SS3 on the steam store. And I can't even use the coupon at the moment because SS3 is currently on sale.

So... like... what's the deal here? Is it actually not tradeable and that's a typo at the bottom, or is trading coupons done differently than trading games?

Trading coupons has always worked for me, but it has to be done over Steam chat trade window.

So it's kind of the opposite of the way I do it then... I usually go to the item in my inventory first, hit the "trade" button on the item, then select the user I want to send it to.

I guess from what you're saying, I have to go to the user first, request a trade with them, and then select the coupon to send?

Or maybe I'm confusing gifting with trading... since on the inventory screen, it's actually a "gift" button and not a "trade" button.

I think like you said, you just have them backwards. I just sent one the other day, using the trade window.

Yeah, from Inventory is Gifting, while the Trade window allows both of you to send something if you wish (though you don't need to). I like doing it that way since it lists Trades in a history.

A shame the 85% coupons are dead.
