The steam winter promotion is here, and I was planning to buy games for my "Screw Christmas. I'm Gaming" list. After testing both my debit card options and my bank's e-card service, it feels like GabeN has dropped me. (My card number has a 3—maybe that's the reason.) Steam support seems overwhelmed since I haven't received any answers since yesterday. Here I am. Do you have any Steam or key services that are currently offering winter sales and are safe to use?

It might be simpler to rely on PayPal instead.

Your bank information should suffice. The e-card service is typically quite good.

Rather than purchasing games, go outside... HA, what am I talking about? You carry the curse of the all-powerful leader we refer to as Gaben, and you can't be saved.

I just returned from an 8-hour workday outside. I’m ready to play some fresh games.

It's well understood that the Steam Store often encounters issues during sales, especially when frontpage titles change. These problems typically resolve within a few hours. Since flash sales have a 12-hour window, it shouldn't be too much of a concern. However, Steam support isn't available 24/7 or on weekends, so you might receive a reply only on Monday. It could also take up to a week for them to respond effectively.

I attempted throughout the entire steam sale: / Yet I managed to obtain the game I wanted yesterday.

Purchase the available Steam wallet codes found in game stores. There are options for 20 and 50 euro, though I’m not sure about the dollar equivalent.
