I have always stored keys in an excel spreadsheet and then deleted them when used but recently I had 4 giveaways come up as duplicate because I had obviously given them away once before and forgot to mark them off or delete them.

Are there any programs for storing keys?

Or if not how do you all do it?

I have an Excel sheet, but whereever a site provides ways to mark keys as used, I also use them. And if the keys are hidden before redeeming, I only open them when I send them.

ArchiBoT keeps them in my MySQL database on my server, so I can easily create trains and other gibs with just a command or two.

Did I mention that I'm utterly lazy? :3

how do you insert your data in the form?

Especially, how do you select the game (only applies if you use js)?

I just post a key to the bot in private steam chat together with game name - bot then automatically tries to match the game name to the store appID, and reports what he matched. If there is no case, I'm adding extra one (very rarily).

When it comes to SG, the name from store is used (the one previously saved).

Do you take the name the seller/page gives you or do you test every key you buy and save the result?

I always test on my account first. I always redeem everything but leftovers, and I'm snatching packageID that is being returned from Steam in order to match it later to appID with given name (or subID, if it's a bundle).

I store them in my Steam account. :P
I have no loose key anywhere and if I do I don't keep it for longer than a week or two.

Am I the only one here who keeps his keys undiscovered on the bundle sites' libraries?
I manage a spreadsheet with just the games written on it, with info on their quantities, where I got them, and their projected CV.
I color-coded them, green for the unused, orange for those part of running giveaways, and red for the sent ones.

I keep all in Excel table that is in Dropbox.
Each colors of foreground and background have own meaning.

Example:
Used keys are black
Unused keys are green
Owned games with cards are yellow.
Owned games without cards are blue.

I don't store them. I just keep a text file with a list of all the games I have and next to each game it says what bundle it was in. When I want the key, I log in and get it.
