Steam gift cards are a popular gift item among gamers. They let you give money directly to your Steam wallet to buy new games, downloadable content, and in-game gifts. However, some customers are cautious about redeeming their Steam gift cards immediately because they want to check the balance first.
Thankfully, with a few simple steps, you can simply check your Steam gift card balance without first redeeming the card.
How to Check Your Steam Account Balance
If you have credits in your Steam account from previous gift cards or game purchases, you can check your total balance. Here’s how:
- Go to the Steam website and log into your Steam account
- Click on your username in the top right corner
- Select “Account Details”
- On the right side, under “Store & Purchase History” you will see your Steam Wallet balance
It will show your total balance from any previous redemption of Steam gift cards or wallet deposits. However, it doesn’t specifically show the balance of the unredeemed gift card.
Alternative Method to View Your Steam Wallet Balance
If you want to check the balance of a Steam gift card before redeeming it, there is a handy online tool you can use called DoNotPay.

Conclusion
Having the ability to check your Steam gift card balance before that time is useful. You may check the card’s available cash before determining when to redeem it and add the money to your Steam account.
You also eliminate the possibility of redeeming a card only to discover later that it has a very low balance or has been used by someone else. Checking first provides you with complete control.
DoNotPay allows you to quickly check Steam card balances. So before redeeming a Steam gift card, be sure to check your card balance.
