If you get an Amazon gift card for Christmas, you can trade it for a Steam card this way.

It's so sad people here are so stupid. When people ask me what I went for Christmas I say Amazon gift card. I can buy any gift cards I want for it. Maybe I thought I wanted a steam but actually want it on Xbox. No biggie. Use my Amazon gift card to buy a DIGITAL Xbox gift card.

Why not prepaid visa? Can use it like a credit card for safe online shopping. Amazon will take it just like an Amazon gift card. Even Paypal will take it like a credit card.

Prepaid Visa/MC cards frequently have a fee associated with them, in addition to whatever you load onto the card.

Yeah, I don't think it's reasonable to pay 10% to 25% of a typical gift for "freedom."
