TL;DR: I KNOW I can buy it from steam, but I need to buy OUTSIDE of steam cause it's for a secret santa game. :P

Hello, I'm playing a secret santa game with someone from the US, and I'd like to give them a steam gift card code as part of the gift.

Problem is, I can't buy it directly from steam cause then they will know who I am when I send it which will ruin the point of the game, and also steam in my country changed into my local currency, and I can no longer buy gift cards in USD (if I gift him from my local currency with an alt, he will know for sure who I am just by looking at the currency, since I'm the only person in the group from my country).

I also can't buy a real life card cause they are not being sold in my country.

Where can I buy them online and make sure that the code I get is 100% legit and working and comes directly from steam?
I tried to check amazon, but the only cards in stock are $50 or higher, and I'd like to get a code for $10 or $5.

Also, does anyone know any legit place where I can buy a steam code for the game Geometry Dash outside of steam and be sure it's 100% legit?
I noticed that game is on the person's wishlist and thought about adding it, but cant seem to find it anywhere outside of steam, except for G2A but I'd rather not get it there cause there is no way to know for sure where it's coming for.

Thanks!

That looks like what I was looking for. Are you sure it's a legit site? Is there any way to confirm that the cards are coming directly from steam?

I've bought karma koin gift cards twice from them no problem, and know some friends who did too. The site's been around a long time so I imagine they're legit.

Okay, I think I might end up buying from this site, seems legit so far but I'll check some online reviews just to be sure.
Thanks for the help!

Not sure where they source the codes from but I've never had an issue with the codes that I have bought: google play, karma koins, and steam

Paypal has but $20 minimum.
For Geometry Dash, outside of trading or resellers, seems none available.

That's what I thought, thanks. :(
He also has BeamNG.drive on the wishlist but that seems to cost too much for me, I might check again on black friday.

As for paypal, the gift cards option is not available in my country even if I wanted to buy the $20 one.

I see, a trusted friend in us/eu could possibly help. Other than that only these other shops are left.

If you're really adamant on Geometry Dash, it could worth a try to email the developer, telling why you want a single key and offer to pay through paypal. Worst case scenario that they won't react - they are active on Twitter as well ( @RobTopGames )

That's an interesting idea, I sent them an email. Thanks!

alternatively, you could buy geometry dash from a trustworthy store like Humble or bundlestarsfanatical

I have a copy from an old Humble Bundle. Add me on Steam and I'll give you the gift link.

I purchased a dozen Steam gift cards from OffGamers this year, and they all worked fine. I originally tried PC Game Supply, but they refused to process my orders. Since I was outside of Canada, I verified my account with a foreign mobile number, and that must have appeared too suspicious for their system. I contacted their support, and they simply said gift cards could not be purchased from my region.

Oh, thanks for the info. I might try that site then, I live in Israel so I doubt the other site would accept it if they are not accepting everyone...

You can try getting them a game from Humble or amazon. if you know what they like.
Amazon US should have steam cards as well.
Maybe Best buy too.

If you trust me, I'd could buy you a code on Paypal Gifts after your sent the money.

Edit: I also bought on Kinguin in the past with no problems and legit for months.

Edit: only available in EUR for me, not $

I know, just wanted to mention ... and also I believe in the power of grey-market sites as they offer stuff not available in Steam Store of my country ^^

I bought 2 5$ cards from that site before and I got them pretty fast. https://www.offgamers.com/search/index.htm?keyword=steam
I can't remember if that was true or not but I think they put my order on hold for like 30 mins first time then they approved it, I can be mistaken though.

HRK, lootmarket or offgamers should work fine.

I've seen some on local stores (related to videogames or technology) close to the cashiers. Most of the time are paysafecards and stuff like that to make scammy stuff, but there are steam cards, most of the time for 20€ (euros in my case).

Have you checked those or can you check those?

PS: That fucking super cool avatar, my god, so cool.

Yeah sadly in my country those cards don't exist. We used to have our steam store being in USD, which the local stores in here don't use. A few days ago though steam in my country switched into the local currency, so maybe there will be steam cards here at the future.

And haha, thanks!
