Does anyone here use it ??

You can add money to it and you can buy stuff from it. Means you wont use a credit card everytime.

I know what it is....Just asking if anyone uses it

I misread that then and yes, I use it.

I use it but there is no real need for it unless you want to watch the amount of money to spend on games closer.

I use it for convenience. It's handy if you want to limit yourself...(I should listen to my own advice though).

I do now seeing as my card gets blocked after so many purchases in few days.

Is it not giving an interest free loan to Valve? All the odds and sods left over in everyone's wallets (how many games are £10/20/30 exactly!?) just swelling Valves wallet

Same here, never occurs to me to use it.

Only way I'd use it is if I somehow couldn't use my card and it'd be a way to kinda get around paypal's risk, otherwise no, I haven't and never would bother.

Yes I use it. I've explained in other threads, but it goes like this:

Every Saturday RPS post their "Bargain Bucket". If there's anything there I want, I buy it. If there isn't, I chuck either £4 or £10 in my Steam wallet.

The next time Steam has a decent sale, I use what's in the wallet to pay for it. This is an excellent way to convince my lady that I have some kind of (entirely fictitious) "gaming budget" that I never exceed. It also means that when a sale happens and I don't have the readies, it doesn't matter because I've already paid, so to speak.

I do not use it but would probably try to work something out if I was short of money and trying to watch my finances, say I had loads of monthly bills to pay that meant I wouldn't have any disposable income each month, I might consider putting £5 per month in there or something so that I could just click on the next full priced game I wanted.

I wouldn't use it otherwise though.
