apparently some games are region locked so might need to watch out for that (read it in an article so can't confirm 100%)

Nope, been doing this for years.

I recommend making an alt to send gift cards to main account.

Main account can't deposit any steam money or pay with any payment.
In case of an investigation by any federal entity or similar, I do not have any involvement with this site or with the people in it, I do not know how I am here, probably added by a third party, I do not support any actions by members of this site.

I literally sent Steam a support ticket.

They know that I changed my country/region and told me that I need to change back if I want to buy any games outside of balance.

So Steam does know that you changed countries. But did they ban? Nope.  Kappa

Also, you can't just gift games like that.

There's a 10% currency rule where countries like Brazil cannot give games to USA due to a >10% price difference in the currency.

On July 29 2020 Steam changed their regional pricing system. This method is not working anymore as it should. 

You can't get banned but you should use a vpn on both your phone with guard and steam for the first week. Because faking your real location is against the rules. But if you went there for a week and changed it. Then you have a back story. Let's say Argentina. You need an alt account to send gift cards to your main. Using paypal for example. Or you can buy steam wallet codes at ebay. They work because steam does the currency change. If you do this 5$ are equal to 20$ on most of the games. There are some that don't have a good regional price like Castlevania Anniversary Collection that one for example. Is more expensive at Argentina. You can use steamdb to see the real prices at $. For example Forager the converted price is 2,13.  If you try using an alt to send gifts to your main account it won't work. I've been doing this for 5 years. If you need a vpn please PM me! I can give you a nord account for free that I am using right now for my personal use! Hype :dancinggirl:

Also to give you a better idea of this conversion. Check this out. I recently sent 5$ to my main steam account.

I had 253,98 ARS$  before doing that so we do the math. 5$ = 352.65 ARS$
Now check the price of Darksouls III

So. Doing this is worth it? Hell yeah it is.
