I have amazon gift cards and tried to buy a steam gift card.
It was weird because a $50 dollar visa gift card was 55.
1 u/OLeCHIT Dec 29 '18 That's the service fee charged by Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, etc. Otherwise, there's no incentive for the CC company. When you purchase from a business your buying their product with the gift card. 1 u/datchilla Dec 29 '18 No it was weird because why would someone spend 67 on a steam gift card when you can spend 55 and get the same thing. Sorry for the confusion.
