So I got into the hole Steam thing with the very recent addition of Team Fortress 2 to the list of F2P games and I dont really have any other games in it, therefore Im stuck with a restricted account (I cant send friend invites or join chats and other minor stuff),  
I would quickly remedy this problem by dumping money into it, the thing is I severed all my ties to banking entities (hence no credit card) not long ago so I have money but no way to put it into my steam account. 
Here is my question: do you guys know of any way I could get money into Steam without a credit card?. Id be glad to buy something from the TF2 store or another game maybe, and I do have the cash. Or maybe there is some sort of site that offers a few cents of steam money in exchange for something else?. I have no idea, help!

You can use PayPal, and you can link a bank account directly to PayPal without needing a credit or debit card.

there is no site that gives you..."steam money"as you call it. Dont you have a debit card? that works too. If you have no card at all, than how do you expect to buy shit online? you cant even use paypal.
 
edit: well according to matty you CAN use paypal. there you go then, i thought you couldnt without some kind of card.

Where do you live? Steam seems to have quite a few options for specific customers. For example, we Dutch are given the option to pay with our iDEAL system.

Purchase an American Express giftcard (or something similar) at your lo9cal grocery store. Use that on steam where Credit card info would normally be used.

You could buy a pre-paid card at a store.  That's the only way I know of if you don't have a bank account anymore.

All ties? So you basically keep your money in your mattress?

Buy a retail game at you're local best buy or something and make sure that its a valve game, then add the game to steam with the retail key or do what everyone above me is saying.

Try to track down Gabe. He'll accept payment directly if it's in the form of a knife.

You can buy "cash cards" at convenience stores and stuff like that. I think they have paypal ones now, but honestly (and I know you won't actually do this) you should really just come back to civilization and get a bank account. Don't be ridiculous.

Wait I don't understand the problem itself... restricted wah?

I think if you get someone to gift you something you get a full account.

Find someone you know, someone that trusts you, get them to pay for you on their card or through their paypal account (paypal might be better as you need their password to spend on it when they are not around and they get email notifications when you try and do this, not that you would! right?) and then pay them back immediately.
 
@project343: Nearest might be a few thousand miiles away, he's in Argentina.
 
@UnrealDP: Does it have to be a Valve game? Won't any game that requires Steam activation do the same thing? Ubisoft games such as Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell games and Assassin's Creed games are all activated on Steam, so is Alien Vs Predator to name a few.

debit card or paypal is your best bet.

Wow you seem really fucking crazy. Nice.

If you have a paypal account you can get someone to send money to your account, then you can use it in steam, thus passing the credit card part. So if you have a friend you can give him $20 or whatever and he/she can send you the money via paypal > paypal.

@S0ndor: Im in Argentina, I haven´t noticed any way to get this done here, no pre-paid cards or dedicated services that would help me out.

A safe in a closet actually, but you were close enough.  
 
I have no bank account access whatsoever.

Find a friend with a credit card.

Some places sell those pre paid credit cards or if you have a paypal that would work as well.

OP is either:

• A drugdealer
• An escaped convict
• A crazy person
• Under witness protection
• All of the above

Anyway, those pre-paid VISA cards work with Steam. Pick one up if you have the chance

I'm still trying to figure out why you would sever all ties to your bank and continue on without a new bank. Maybe things are different in Argentina.

Go ask John Connor. Sometimes being the resistance for the human race has a few downsides.

I use paysafecard.
