Why is my account not Premium after adding funds to my Steam Wallet?

Question

I have added funds to my Steam account and used it to buy a game (but I have not added it to my library).

I also believe I have been on Steam for about 30 days, as I have been playing since the 1st of July and it is now August 1st.

Why is my account still not considered to be Premium?

Maybe you're talking about TF2? If you bought a game/added funds your Steam account should already be premium, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. — childe, Commented Aug 1, 2013 at 17:47
Also, there may be a slight delay or something. How long has it been since you added funds? — Ullallulloo, Commented Aug 1, 2013 at 17:49
If you have added $5+ to your Steam wallet, you should have premium access. If you don't, try logging out and then back in. If you don't have access within say 24 hours, I would contact Steam support. support.steampowered.com — Lemmings19, Commented Aug 2, 2013 at 0:14
I think you need to activate the game. If premium is there to force people to have 'skin in the game' for an account to be premium: then buying a game, adding it to your inventory, and trading it seems to bypass this and that is why you probably are not premium. — Colin D, Commented Jan 4, 2016 at 14:30

I am not 100% certain about this, but I believe that you account only becomes premium when you add a game to your library.
