How to buy and redeem stc gift cards

What an stc sawa voucher actually does

If you or someone in your family runs an stc prepaid line in Saudi Arabia, a sawa voucher is the fastest way to add credit without walking into a store. The voucher is a recharge code tied to the stc network. You enter it on the phone, and the balance lands on the line within moments.

I have seen people confuse these with data-only packages. They are not the same thing. A sawa voucher adds general credit to the prepaid account, which the user can then spend on calls, SMS, or data bundles according to whatever plan they are on. Think of it as cash on the SIM card.

The denominations range quite widely. You can grab something small for a quick top-up or go large if you want to cover a full month of usage. The key is matching the amount to how the line is actually used.

Available denominations and rough pricing

We carry eight sawa voucher values on the BlinkCodes store. All prices below are approximate and converted to USD for reference.

• SAR 17.39 voucher, about 5 USD
• SAR 20 voucher, about 6 USD
• SAR 25 voucher, about 8 USD
• SAR 30 voucher, about 9 USD
• SAR 50 voucher, about 16 USD
• SAR 100 voucher, about 31 USD
• SAR 200 voucher, about 63 USD
• SAR 300 voucher, about 94 USD

The smaller values work well for occasional users who just need enough to stay reachable. The SAR 100 to SAR 300 range makes more sense for heavy data consumers or for sending credit to a relative abroad who relies on their stc line daily.

How to buy a sawa voucher on BlinkCodes

The purchase flow is simple. You pick a denomination, pay, and receive a code by email. Here are the exact steps.

1. Go to the stc gift card page on our store at blinkcodes.com.
2. Select the sawa voucher denomination you want from the options listed.
3. Add it to your cart and proceed to checkout.
4. Enter your payment details and complete the purchase.
5. Check your email for the voucher code, which arrives shortly after payment confirmation.

That is it. No account creation is required, though having one makes it easier to track past orders if you buy regularly.

How to redeem the voucher on an stc line

Once you have the code, redemption happens directly on the phone connected to the stc prepaid line. There are two common methods, and both take under a minute.

1. Open the phone dialer on the stc line you want to top up.
2. Dial *155* followed by the voucher code, then press #.
3. Press the call button and wait for the confirmation SMS from stc.

Alternatively, you can send the voucher code as a text message to 900. Either way, you will get a reply confirming the new balance. If the code does not go through on the first attempt, double-check the digits from your email before trying again. Typos are the most common reason a redemption fails.

Things worth knowing before you buy

A few practical points come up often enough that they are worth mentioning upfront.

Vouchers are tied to the stc network in Saudi Arabia. They will not work on other carriers, so confirm the recipient is actually on stc before you buy. If you are sending credit to a family member, ask them which carrier they use rather than assuming.

The codes do not expire immediately, but I would not sit on one for months. Redeem it soon after purchase to avoid any issues. If something goes wrong with a code, whether it shows as invalid or already used, contact us at support@blinkcodes.com and include your order number. We will look into it.

Pricing on our store is listed in USD, and the SAR amounts above reflect the voucher values that get applied to the stc line. The conversion is already handled on our end, so you pay the USD figure and the recipient gets the full SAR value as credit.

Picking the right amount

For a quick refill, the SAR 17.39 or SAR 20 vouchers at about 5 to 6 USD are enough to keep a line active for a few more days. The SAR 50 voucher at about 16 USD is a solid middle ground for someone who uses their phone moderately throughout the week.

If you are covering a full month of calls and data, the SAR 100 or SAR 200 options at about 31 and 63 USD respectively give enough headroom for most prepaid plans. The SAR 300 voucher at about 94 USD is the largest we carry, and it suits users who burn through data quickly or who share a line with multiple people.

The right choice always depends on the person holding the SIM. When in doubt, start smaller. You can always buy another voucher in minutes if the balance runs low sooner than expected.
