you have to send a support request to ask them to unlock your credit card. Previously they block me because I keep failing to purchase region lock games. Keep fail as I'm trying to buy US region games using asia region.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

I have removed the lock on your account; you will be able to make one more purchase.

Your account is currently on an alert status due to the excessive failed purchase attempts. Any unsuccessful purchase attempts will cause your account to be locked again. Your account will automatically be removed from the alert list after a while, each time you make a new purchase it will extend the alert period.

yeap, they will flag your credit card if you attempt unsuccessfully buying region locked stuff (until the workaround method tongue.gif)

Not sure why they put "one more purchase", clearly after that I bought a couple of games more with no issues anymore

it is only locked for region locked games, for non region locked games still okay one.

for my case , they completely block my credit card number until I send a support request to ask them to unlock back. Cant buy anything with it until they unlock it.

if you access normally the website store.steampowered.com or on your steam, you only be able to see those games available in your region. Sometime steam will post up some games with discount, but when you click on it, it will put not available for your region etc.

However if you force the website to load us region or some region, you can buy through that.
