This is probably going to sound lame as hell, but I’m that type of caveman who hates giving out their CC# online. Any advice?

Not sure if these are available near you but you might be able to find some steam wallet cards in stores that sell giftcards. You’d then be able to add funds to steam without using a credit card.

Look at your banks and credit cards features. Some of them have virtual cards that you can use. They’re temporary numbers you can use to buy things.

  Ironvest.com (nee blur.com, nee abine.com) also provides a “masked card” service (which can be independently useful, as it can have whatever name and address you want, if you don’t want someone harvesting that). That being said, they charge an annual fee, and your bank may provide free temporary numbers.

Is your concern that Steam might be compromised? If you’re willing to trust PayPal, they’ll use them as a payment processor.

  TBH, I’m just a scared idiot.
  
  One of my friends is a Pulitzer-nominated dude whose CC got hacked, or whatever it was.
