🎮 Steam gift cards are hugely popular in Nigeria, but nothing feels worse than seeing an ❌ “Invalid” error when you try to redeem them.

Here’s Recard’s official troubleshooting guide, designed to help you fix errors and, if needed, turn those frustrating cards into real 💵 cash with ease.

🔍 Common Causes & Quick Fixes

🛒 1. Card Not Activated

• Return to the retailer with your receipt and request activation.
• Always confirm activation before leaving the store.

💡 Example: In 2024, over 28% of invalid card reports on Steam came from unactivated cards.

🔢 2. Code Entry Mistakes

• Carefully check for similar-looking characters:
  • 0 (zero) vs O (letter O)
  • 1 (one) vs I (capital i) vs l (small L)
• If possible, copy-paste codes from digital receipts to avoid typos.

---

🌍 3. Region Mismatch

• Steam cards are currency-specific. For example, a $50 USD card won’t work on an EUR or NGN account.
• Solutions:
  • Use a VPN that matches the card’s region.
  • Or trade the card instantly on Recard for cash at the best rates. 💰

🖥️ 4. Wrong Redemption Page

• Only redeem here:

  Steam → Account Details → “Add Funds to Wallet”

• Never enter codes on third-party websites that claim to activate cards.

🆘 When All Else Fails…

Contact Steam Support with:

1. Clear photos of the card (front & back)
2. The original purchase receipt
3. A screenshot of the error message

💡 Recard Pro Tip: Always take photos of new cards immediately after purchase. It makes problem-solving faster! 📸
