Got a Steam gift card you won't use? Maybe you already own the games, switched platforms, or just want cash instead of store credit. Steam cards swap quickly on Swapio — especially during sale season when lots of people receive them as gifts.
What you'll need
- Your Steam wallet code (from email or the back of a physical card)
- The current balance on the card
- A payout method — PayPal, Cash App, Zelle, Venmo, Bitcoin, or bank transfer
- A valid email for order updates
Step-by-step on Swapio
Search "Steam" on the homepage, enter your balance, and pick your payout method. You'll see your exact cash offer instantly — 95% of your card value with the 5% fee shown upfront. Submit your wallet code and receive your order code (SWP-XXXXXX) immediately.
How much will you get?
A $50 Steam card pays out $47.50. A $20 card pays $19. The rate is the same as every other brand on Swapio — no special gaming penalty or bonus.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Scratching the code before you're ready to submit — codes can be hard to read if damaged
- Entering the code with spaces or dashes — copy it exactly as shown
- Submitting a code that's already been redeemed on Steam
