Yeah:


I guess it's an option that they hide for...some reason.

I cant get it to work. This is what message I get.

Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment.

Check it again people, I just tried again on the off chance and it worked.

sounds good :smiley:

Great deal. Heated. Perfect timing too with the summer sale...

and you thought it was hot out side? this is going to be scorching! have some heat OP!

Is this single use or can it be used more than once? T&C doesn't seem to say.

Nicely timed.. especially given that a certain other site [for Steam codes] has seemingly stopped giving me the 5% off now :smiley:

this should get pretty hot, lots of gamers on here

Woooohooo! Just in time for me, I usually see these after I have just bought stuff! Heat and thanks!

I think it's once per PayPal account

Nice

OP deal! waiting to SS

Soooo....can we buy Steam Wallet funds with this discount? £15 for £20?

Best deal on here for a while - this will go mad.

mmmm.
I only get £25 add wallet.
No 20.
Can't remember when I actually last purchased through steam directly. I'll wait for the sales and see.
Hot deal of course!

Problem is there doesn't seem to be an option to add £20 wallet funds? Mine only shows £4, £10 and then £25, £50, £100. I don't really want to get £25 as it lessens the deal a bit as you are buying more than necessary for the £5 back. Is there anyway around this e.g. can you buy two £10? I'm guessing not as it seems to want to take me straight to checkout on picking an amount.

The steam interface is so bloody restrictive in some regards, surely I should be able to add any amount I like to my wallet?

Awesome, Heat

Great deal as the summer sales are on the 22nd I believe. Have no idea how this was found, I tried looking for the offer.

The Enhanced Steam extension allows you to add custom amounts. http://www.enhancedsteam.com/

Awesome find. Thanks OP.


I'm not sure you can. The summer sale starts on Thursday according to paypal so probably worth waiting until then to see if you can find 10quids worth of stuff you fancy to make up the difference.

You can input any number you want? Its the second option.
Edit: Oh, this seems to be an addition by the enhanced edition..

Yeah:


I guess it's an option that they hide for...some reason.

Hot.

Let us not forget, that steam sales have surely gone down a bit in recent years...
No daily sales, no flash sales. They must be making more money, otherwise i'd think it was a bad move (for them, not just us). :confused:
And obviously im guessing steam set this up with them, which concretes the idea sale prices arent so low in the first place.

Steaming hot. Cheers OP!

I will wait to see whats on sale, if there's genuinely £20 of games I want, I will take the offer then. Heat added regardless.

Thanks, worked perfect topping up for a straight £20. Paypal deducted the the £5 automatically despite Steam still showing £20 throughout checkout.

Lets hope they have some decent deal's or this £15 is going on CS:GO cases.

Thanks dude really helped cus i didnt want to spend 25

Thanks OP, £20 credit added for £15, very nice!

Also thanks to those who recommended enhanced steam, never heard of it and would have had to add £25 otherwise.

Big Pimping Respect..

Ok, so you have to use enhanced Steam to get exactly £20 wallet credit?

Also, does the discount show at any point through the Paypal checkout so you can see it has applied before actually spending the money? or do you just have to buy it with it showing full price and hope the coupon has actually been taken off?

This didn't work for me. I would recommend anyone who hasn't done it to hold off doing this. £20 of funds, Paypal has done me for £20. No sign of £5 off anywhere. Wow.

Just worked for me. Did you view the offer and save it to your PayPal wallet like it says in the T&Cs?

I didn't get a PayPal confirmation screen - perhaps because I have PayPal saved as my only payment method.

Worked perfect with Enhanced Steam for me, thanks all! :smiley:

Agreed. Still, their prices surely are less competitive than they used to be, of that I'm confident. At least theres still Humble Bundles, and Bundlestars.

I think you can set it up so that PayPal basically acts like a direct debit and uses less confirmation/authentication than normal.

Just tried with Enhanced Steam extension, worked perfectly. Thanks!

For not-huge purchases, I will still buy from Humble so the money goes to charity!

Do you not consider Gabe's biscuit fund to be a worthy cause? :smile:

Any idea when Steam summer sale starts? Was it not around the 23rd June last year?

Thursday.

Dam, already have to much wallet :disappointed:

Does this actually work? If I add £25 to my steam wallet by paying with paypal I will immediately see something in paypal crediting me £5? It's just that this bit in the T&C has got me worried:

The Offer shall not be available if the aggregate monetary amount credited to customers reaches GBP 24,000.00.The Offer excludes gift voucher payments and gift card purchases and purchases not made through your PayPal account.

Yes, it works - I used this about half an hour ago. You'll just see the net amount deducted in your PayPal account and there's an intermediate confirmation page where you should see the offer shown as being applied, once logged in to PayPal.

How do I do this?

I've saved the order to my PayPal account, do I now add 2 x 10GBP to my Steam account and purchase through my PayPal and I'll only be charged 15?

No - you need to make a single transaction to add £20+ to your account. Your PayPal account should be charged £5 less than the funds added to Steam.

So use that Steam extension so I can add a custom amount of 20 to my Steam?

Yes.

Every user of Steam should be using Enhanced Steam as a given, to be honest. :wink:

Good stuff, £20 for £15....now fingers crossed for Elite Dangerous: Commander Deluxe Edition a 60% off. ha

I didn't, what a moron I was, ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffeeeeeeeck

This can only be used once, right?
I just used mine (and yes, it applied correctly), yet the offer is still listed in my PayPal wallet as "Ready to use".
The T&Cs imply it's a one-use voucher though.

Anyone want to test to see if a 2nd purchase is discounted too? (you can back out at the PayPal confirm page, so no 2nd purchase is necessary)

I think that you may just have volunteered yourself. :wink:

Ha!

I was going to leave it to someone that actually wants more Steam credit, just in case something goes wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

Great. Works a treat.
For those concerned you should actually see in PayPal the offer being applied before you hand over your money.

The only problem now is the last time I bought something from Steam was around 2 years ago...

Thursday should provide the perfect time to fix that. :smile:

Awesome! Thanks OP... £20 credit for £15 :sunglasses:

Does it have a lifespan? I should spend it in the sales but you never know!

Same for me too. I once bought a £50 voucher from CD Keys for £42 and it took about 9 months and 3 sales to actually spend it all (during which time I still spent loads on Steam keys from other places). I think this time I'll limit my Steam purchases to DLC because they're the only things that rarely get cheaper elsewhere than in Steam sales.

Anyway, it worked fine for me. Cheers OP.

Expiry is July 5th but there's a £24k limit so to be sure to get the fiver off you might be better off buying Steam credit now.

Is there any way of getting this retrospectively.? Bought Hearts of Iron IV through paypal yesterday.
Not like me to miss an opportunity on HUK :disappointed:

No, I meant once the Steam credit is on your account? Isn't like 3 years or something? Or am I thinking of Amazon :smirk:

You could get a steam refund if you have played for less than 2 hours. Then buy it again.

How much have you played the game so far (in hours)?

Gifted it to my sons account. Guessing he will have played about 6 hours

Help - I have used the link to paypal and it confirms the £5. How does Steam link to paypal to transfer the £5 credit to the steam account?

You're out of luck then, I'm afraid (you can refund games purchased for yourself with <2 hours of recorded game time). Of course, you can still add funds to your account in anticipation of future purchases.

FWIW, right now is about the worst time that you could pick to buy games on Steam - the summer sale starts in less than two days and will see a wide range of games receiving significant discounts.

You add funds to your Steam account, choosing PayPal as the means of payment.

thanks

Thanks for reply.
It was some of his birthday cash ....(so my money really)
Ive been on Steam for 12!!! years. Got my 1st Spectrum in 1983 when I was 16 :smile: Im really that old :disappointed:

Worked ! - £25 withdrawal followed by a £5 credit.

So you would trust your steam account to a browser plugin from a site stating

You can also use this link for €5 off €20 if you are wondering if there is an EU equivalent.
https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/offers?view=details&offerId=QB4YNANJE2RXW

What was the point of the daily and flash sales though, really? They just reduced everything to the lowest prices on the last day anyway, so no one would miss out, so now it's just like that except you can get the lowest prices on the the first or any other day of the sale instead of waiting - no messing around, no worrying whether a game is as cheap as it's going to get, because it already is.
Also, the £5 offer does not mean the sale prices could be lower, it's just an incentive to get you to top up. The sale prices will be set by the developers, because obviously they want to be left with some money after Valve takes their cut.

It's an open source, long lived, highly rated, and popular extension.
In many ways it's more trustworthy than Valve's Steam client itself.

don't get it, rare that steam is not twice as expensive as everywhere else anyway :o

Ace Find

On new AAA games, sure, Steam is usually a rip-off, but in the sales there's still some games at lowest ever prices, and plenty of other games at competitive prices.

Worked, thank you :smile:

Not working for me, get the following when I click on the link...
"Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment."
:disappointed:

Same here. :disappointed:

Got the same. I didn't have any saved offers for Valve/Steam in the first place.

I think it might be account-specific in some way:

"To apply this Offer, you must a) create or have a UK PayPal account in good standing, b) receive an email from PayPal providing the Offer"

yea i got the same error on 2 accounts ;(
just tried two family members accounts and no luck either

yep, I've probably spent too much on steam through paypal, thanks for being a 'loyal customer', no offers for you today.

Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment. Looks like they've reached the limit on this offer :disappointed:

Nope. Not working here. I get the following.

Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment.

Same , "Thanks for being a loyal ..blah blah .. ) doesn't work for me. I don't have any offers from this merchant.

Deal expired! - Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment.

Hopefully the links come back online

Just tried to save it but it said

"Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment."

I don't have any saved offers at all. might try again another day. heat added though OP!

Same , Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment.

yup. expired apparently.

Yep here too, Nothing :disappointed:

"Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment."

No idea what I am doing wrong, but it wont let me save the offer

Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment.

:disappointed:

Also getting "you can't save any more offers"... Think this deal needs to be marked expired

Looks ike the might of hukd has taken them over their 25k budget.

Surely this offer must come back? Hardly seems fair an offer supposed to be good till 4th jul is gone by 21st june?

Also what about those that saved the offer, will it still work for us e.g. is it reserved? Or not?

I had a feeling that might happen and that's why I told everyone in the OP to add the coupon to their PayPal account yesterday. That £23k will probably be based on value of coupons redeemed and not those actually used for purchases.

Thanks guys, had saved to paypal when I saw it last night, and redeemed just now. So if you've already saved it, you can still use despite them running out of new ones

I saved it to my account last night. The thing is I'm in Ireland so if I spend the Euro equivalent of £20 stg will it work? Any other Euro users out there?

Check it again people, I just tried again on the off chance and it worked.

Working for me as well, I've reported it to a mod to request it is unexpired.

Definitely working again. Nice find. Thanks!

Just added it to my account, thanks should go nicely towards NieR.

Worked for me just now. On mobile so had to do £25 rather than £20 but Dota will eat it all up anyway.

Can you top up your Steam wallet and it will be added on to that?

Yep, that's what I did

Nice! Saving this for the Dota 2 compendium bundle!

Some people saying it didn't work? I did it 2 minutes ago and £15 charge to paypal with £20 into steam wallet so works fine.

PayPal stopped issuing the vouchers for a while (most probably because of me :laughing:). It's working again now though.

So now i have "saved the deal" do i just need to spend £20 on steam via PayPal yeah?

Zombie Chronicles

Yes boys, working again:

Offer saved successfully to your wallet. This will be applied automatically when you check out with PayPal.

28 Hours!

Offer saved successfully to your wallet. This will be applied automatically when you check out with PayPal.

YAY!

What if I have a steam £20 gift card and redeem it on steam will I still get £5 off can someone confirm?

No, because it wasn't bought with paypal while the offer was active. Steam don't really have anything to do with this offer, as far as Steam are concerned you are paying full price, the £5 off comes from Paypal, so any existing steam credit you have won't benefit, you have to make a new purchase using Paypal BUT remember to save the offer first. If you have done it correctly it will show during checkout before you confirm the purchase, if it doesn't show cancel it and try again...

Sweet £20 steam credit for £15

What? No.

The discount is given by PayPal.
Make a purchase on Steam (£20+) using PayPal as the payment method, and your PayPal account will be charged £5 less than it would otherwise be.
It's a really straight forward and verbose promotion.

Cheers op... glad I ignored the "expired" notice.

balls... sorry i hit expired. it must have glitched for me as it didnt work ... again... but tried again and it did. i guess this is going up and down depending on load

Not sure why this has expired... Just worked for me :-)

I followed the instructions,
"Save the Offer" in Paypal.
Followed this guide to enter £20 as my top-up.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=228410859
Completed the checkout via Paypal.
Voila!

By the way, if you want to buy £20 credit direct from steam, and you don't want to use the browser extension mentioned elsewhere here, you can just go to the normal steam wallet fund page : https://store.steampowered.com/steamaccount/addfunds

and then enter this in your browsers console (F12 if you have chrome) :

javascript:submitAddFunds( 2000 );

My body is ready

Im saying that those sales would often bring discounts of like 90% which really shined, while now its more like 75% at most, stagnating for two weeks. Ah well.

It's possible that it's functionality they're just accidentally left out so people have to buy a little bit more (or equally a lot more) than they need.

That or they're just not validating the amount, and don't really care because you're just giving them money.

still working for me.

now what to buy?

whats weird is this morning I saw this deal elsewhere, and i got the error message everyone says. then now I see this on HUKD and try it again and it works... cant complain!

It's hidden because they have a feature where, if you have say £1.50 in your wallet and you want to buy a game that costs £17.99, an extra option appears letting you add the necessary funds for that transaction (Add £16.49). The extension hooks into that option.

Nothing. You wait until this time tomorrow. Those are the rules of the HUKD game. :laughing:

I cant get it to work. This is what message I get.

error
Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment.

Same here

Getting the error here too!

I've had around £50 in my steam wallet for years, always seem to find the games I want cheaper elsewhere.
Added heat but pointless for me to do this offer

You still get 90% off on loads of titles. It all depends on the game, how new it is and how well it's currently selling, but it's very rare that a game will go on sale with less discount than the previous sale. The flash sales were just to generate excitement, they weren't cheaper.

If it was working again for a while it doesn't seem to be now. Still can't claim this.

Hmm, maybe you are right (at least in some situations no doubt). But I swear they were cheaper lol! :stuck_out_tongue:

The psychological effect of flash sales. :stuck_out_tongue:
But if you ever want to check whether a game is as cheap as it gets, you could always use steamprices.com to tell you when it was last on sale, at what price, and the cheapest it's ever been in the Steam store, or there are browser plugins like Steam Inventory Helper which will give you the cheapest ever and current cheapest price, checking a few (but not all) key sites as well as the store.

Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment. i keep getting this everytime i try and use the offer never used this before never used any codes to be honest

yeah same for me :s

Not working for me either right now. Got an effectively free copy of Isaac:Rebirth last time they offered this (just for linking Steam:Paypal accounts that time) <3

Will be great for snagging a bundle deal - got most of the Endless Legend dlc and Borderlands Pre-Sequel from those nice deals!

From the small print.

Not working here.

Still down :disappointed:

Yeah I just get this message:

Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment.

Maybe they have a daily limit so they don't all go at once as we thought. I will try early tomorrow.

Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment. excited

Aaw dang! I wish I hadn't held off on this yesterday :disappointed:

Hopefully they'll reactivate it again.

Funny you should say that, I have Endless Legends base game and one or two dlc's-there are quite a few now and I was considering completing the set in this sale. I've played a few hundred hours single player, maybe it's time to brave multi.

Now seems to be expired - 'you cannot save any more offers from this merchant'. A shame as Steam is brilliant, an I do spend a lot on there.

I got the same 'Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment.' message as others..

£24k limit reached?

Doesn't work for me either - says "Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment. "

It's a bit daft to have said it expires in July if they couldn't fulfill this deal for everyone. Surely they'd have known it would be popular.

THANKS YOU

Lol

Hopefully they will restock it as it ran out literally the day they introduced it then came back again, so think it likely it will. Would be a bit embarrassing for them to have a promo for the steam sale that is over before it even starts.

As a last resort, if it doesn't get restocked I'd advise anyone that can't get it to call Paypal and complain, I did this with a previous similar £5 promo I couldn't get to work via the sign up page and they just put £5 straight in to my paypal account, found paypal are usually very good to deal with on the phone....

Heat from me.

Really? I've found them to be completely inconsistent and total jobsworth douchebags to be quite honest.

Hi guys, so how does this works? When i want to save the offer i get this "Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment."

I'm getting the exact same message :disappointed:

I'm getting the exact same message.

I think it's to do with the small print.
"The Offer shall not be available if the aggregate monetary amount credited to customers reaches GBP 24,000.00."

Unless I'm wrong that means less than 5,000 people can add the offer to their account.

I've used Enhancedsteam for ages and never knew this! Cheers.
Then again this is the only time I'm actually adding wallets funds through Steam rather than just buying stuff :smile: .

no, the voucher expires 5th of July for those who managed to get one before they reached the £24k redemption limit

There was a Paypal tweet about this promo, but it appears to have been deleted now :disappointed:

Ah, gotcha! I didn't see that. Should've read the T&Cs. Fair enough then.

"Thanks you for being a loyal customer. Unfortunately, you can't save any more offers for this merchant at the moment." WTF?

Same message for me, looks like it was insanely popular (it's been all over the gaming news websites) and has ran out. Needs to be expired I guess

Glad I didn't rush to top up the wallet. Poor sales.

Boo... :disappointed:

Worked for me, be aware Steam will still show £20 total on the last confirmation, but if Paypal said "You'll save £5" then you will, I was a little worried about that but Paypal definitely only took £15.

Load of nonsense, doesn't work. Clearly they've retracted it due to sheer volume

Worked for me just now processing it through however I activated the voucher when the deal was first posted.

Pfff, very disappointed this has run out. If it expires July 5th, it should be available to claim until that date.

Guys guys guys... It was a limited first-come-first-served offer.

PayPal have now officially tweeted that the offer has reached its cap but that we should "Watch this space for more great PayPal promotions" (which I guess doesn't necessarily mean Steam offers).

It's a bit shady that they've deleted all previous tweets mentioning the offer, almost as if they didn't want anyone to know about it! And apparently it was capped at £24,000, or 4,800 users, which is a bit ridiculous considering Steam has over 125 million active users.

it`s not so much it was time limited but that the offer page is still live to click on. switch it off or show a message saying the offer is now closed.

nope, you've got it wrong...
if you read the t&c's you would see there was a redemption limit of £24k (4,800x £5 vouchers),
and for those lucky 4,800 who saved the offer to their Paypal wallet... the voucher expires 5th July,
its pretty straight forward if you read the t&c's

erm, No.
first off.. thats a world wide user number,
and secondly this offer was UK only hence the £24k limit
other countries had their own separate deal (5euro off a 20euro spend, $5 of a $20 spend etc..)

Crap, should have claimed this the other night when it was still valid, although I would have bought lots of little random stuff to get over the £20 =)

Does this work if you add several games to your basket so that they total over £20?

I am very aware that it is straightforward, if you had bothered to read my post properly, you would discover I was merely saying that PAYPAL themselves should have made this offer available until July 5th, rather than limit it to the first few people. I wasn't having a go at the OP or anyone else so no need to be a white knight.

but that would cost them an unlimited amount of cash well into the millions.. that was never going to happen,
thats why they capped it, and made that clear in the t&c's :smiley:

Not working - I can only assume it's expired, 4800 people is a tiny amount..
I thought it started today with the summer sale, but turns out it started 3 days ago, that sucks.
It could at least say "Sorry this offer is now full".

The problem with this offer wasn't the end date, or the number of uses, it's that you had to login and you got a vague message once it had expired - rather than a simple page saying 'this offer has ended'.


I have to disagree - if the offer has ended, why would anyone want tweets about that advertise a now-ended offer? Bear in mind it's not just people following Paypal, it's people following people that retweeted the offer. There's nothing shady about that.

Oh, okay, my bad, 4,800 is a huge proportion of the 8 million UK users.


Because there was an offer and then it ended - why would you delete tweets about something like that? It's not like tweeting something controversial and thinking better of it. Most people/companies wouldn't bother deleting tweets about expired promotions - so why did Paypal bother? And I'm pretty sure they deleted the tweet before the limit was hit, almost as if they didn't want people to hear about it.

I gave a reason - so people don't click on an expired offer not knowing it's expired. That's a clear benefit of deleting it - could you give a clear benefit of *leaving* links to expired offers that don't say they've expired? Perhaps others *should* delete tweets to expired offers - just because many others don't do it doesn't make that the 'right' option.

And if they deleted the tweet before the limit was hit, can't see how that matters - they hit the limit.

if I activated it a day or 2 ago can I still use it?

You should be able to - I used mine an hour or so ago fine. It showed at checkout as a £5 discount before I bought.

Yes, I bought just over 10 games and the total went through as normal, but when I checked my paypal account the bill was £5 less :smiley:

argh, didn't realise i had to activate and was waiting till payday before purchase cos saw the 5th of July thing. argh. argh

dunno if this works for the uk but paypal singapore has a $5 off when buying from steam. it said it added the voucher to my uk account ok. unfortunately i bought stuff in the sale already so i`m not going to test it but it can`t hurt to try i guess.
https://www.paypal.com/sg/webapps/mpp/offers?view=details&offerId=JN66A29CCNMBL

It could work but unfortunately the T&C's say this:

Spark: i thought it was probably the case. just curious because it allowed me to save the code to my account.

Mine is in my account, does that mean it will still work for me ?

Where do you find it in your account?

Answer myself, well it worked for me, so all good.

Think it was under either Wallet or Benefits & Offers tab, but not there now as its just been used, just try pressing all tabs in pay pal.
