As of 27 Aug 2020, Valve made some changes to Steam Wallet Codes redemption recently to reduce gift/game card scams. These changes should not impact regular customers who enjoy using Steam wallet codes they purchase in their local currency. You have to buy country-specific codes according to your Steam account’s country.
Example: Steam Wallet Code (USD), is usable by all Valve Steam users with US Dollar Steam ONLY.
Each Steam User Account is associated with a specific currency, which you can see in the top right corner of your Steam Client. Going forward, you may encounter an error if you try to activate a Steam Wallet Code issued in a different currency than the one of your Steam User Account.
If you have questions about your ability to redeem Steam Wallet Codes, please contact Steam Support.
