Valve's Steam Gift Cards have been a staple in major retailers throughout the world for quite some time. But today, the firm confirmed they're being phased out.
New Maestro Card haven’t been issued in a while. If you’d replace that card now, you’d likely get one cobranded girocard/MasterCard instead of girocard/Maestro. Works just like a credit card online. There’s a few banks thag issue girocards with no cobranding, but that’s rare.
Even most Sparkassen have started giving out a cobranded Master/Visa by default.
So what you said was true 10 years ago, but likely isn’t/soon won’t be anymore.
It’s called Maestro, which is owned by MasterCard. Which doesn’t help however since it has no credit card number

Ah! I have one of those too. It’s being retired soon, though, and banks using it are now do the switch to MasterCard for newly issued cards.
(Maestro is a MasterCard brand)
Edit: Nevermind, not every country is retiring Maestro as of today.
