And that begs the question, why would you buy wallet cards instead of using a debit card, PayPal or a pre-paid debit card?

Nah, the 50€ cards are around 440~450SEK. Also, in Sweden it's € since we're part of EU, not $ as in US and ROW.

No.
Differs per sale, usually 50-75% off.

Only if explicitly told. Which makes it an almost never.
Most big publisher bundles don't for above 50$ I believe, but it depends on the deepest discount and the items in the bundle, as they often change.

I never understood why you never get copies of games already owned. :)

I think it's because those bundles come with awesome discount prices. If they were give you exra copies for every game you own, you could just buy the bundle, trade the games separately for their lowest sale prices and still make a huge profit out of it.

To be more specific with the answer to #2, bundle costs vary greatly and depend upon multiple variables: the prices of the games included; the discount of the game prices; the discount of the bundle itself. Sales discounts vary from 10%-90%, and newer games often have no discount at all or are not included in bundles.

I had Portal 1 and 2 in my account, then I bought valve's bundle as a gift and activated it, for some reason Portal 1 and 2 appeared in my inventory, Portal 2 was the first giveaway I created here.

So, maybe if you do the same you will get the games in your inventory, dunno. I'm thinking about buying this Bethesda bundle as a gift to see if it works again.

This pretty much ONLY applies to Valve bundles. You almost never get gifts for games you own.

This.
Giftable copies are nice exceptions, not a common habit among publishers unfortunately.
