You cannot. Steam wallet is only linked to an eve account created through steam client. Thus, you cannot pay for omega for an account that is not created through steam. Well, not normally. I suppose its possible to buy the steam subscription, contact CCP customer support, and then have it transfered to your main account. But I cant gauruntee that they wont laugh in your face and say “What did you think would happen, dummy”. So I cant gauruntee this method. ---

If by “game card” you mean Steam Gift Card (code), you’ll have to first add that to your steam wallet and then you can use it to buy things in the Steam store; PLEX and/or game-time.

Be aware that STEAM Wallet is only available to those accounts that have been created through STEAM. You cannot link STEAM with an already existing EVE account. ---
