Adding Any Amount to Steam Wallet

I recently got an American Express gift card. For the most part, I've found these to not work at many places in Canada.

I was able to use parts of it on other purchases, and found myself with $9.20 left on it.

I often buy things on Steam, so I figured that I could put it into my Steam wallet and it would just get used when I buy something there. One problem: no custom amounts for adding money.

Hovering over the add funds link I found that it just calls a javascript function with the amount to add (the one I used specifically calls javascript:submitAddFunds( 500 ); for $5.00).

Using developer mode in Chrome (analogs exist in IE and Firefox) allows for you to change what that link calls, so I just changed the number to 920, and I was able to add precisely the $9.20 that I wanted to.

Just thought I'd share this trick in case anyone else ended up in a similar situation.

This page doesn’t exist. We’re willing to bet that it’s because you pasted in some dodgy URL that a “friend” of yours sent you. We think that means you should really take stock of your life and the people in it. After all, friends don’t send friends broken links.

Either that or something really weird and/or bad happened on our end. I mean, I guess that’s possible.
