Is this GA for the game or the coupon?

Both. For some reason the description didn't add the + and shows it as a dot. I've edited the description, thanks!

I see. Can I enter even if I am not interested in the coupon?
Also, afaik, + gets converted to bullet points/list, same as - and *.

You could try these

+Text - notice there's no space between "+" and the text.
`+` Text - this will make the "+" inline code, but it should look almost identical to normal "+"

I'm not having any trouble with + converting, myself:
+

That said, bullet points only register at the start of a line, so you can also just place an empty link in front of it.
[](blankline.com)*

Of course, since * is also used for italics, it'll still get converted for that usage, if you type anything past that point (or even put another sentence containing an asterix too close to that first sentence), so that won't work for that particular character. Rather, it's better to use the escape character to disable the function of * directly, with the standard escape character for any variant of BBCode (and many other programming languages) being \.

So \symbol ( \* ) works best.
*

Inline code'll still be the most surefire method when trying to format anything too involved, especially when you're posting elaborate scripts, proofs, or other technical postings containing various symbols within the text that'll clash with any formatting symbols, but you can simply rely on the escape character for basic tasks like cancelling out a bullet point.

I believe the coupon is included in the steam key as I can't find the coupon itself. :)

The coupon is added to your HB account afaik. Could be wrong. Try visiting this.

Oh, the coupon will appear after you claim the choice, not before.
In case you use the HB gifting option, I am certain the coupon will go to the account that you send the gift to. Either way, it's a HB coupon, not a steam coupon, at least from what I understand from here: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/YpQOY/humble-bundle-july-2022-humble-choice-32

I'll have to double check. I didn't use the gift option, but the claim option and shared the key here on steamgifts. It's only now that I saw you can also share the gift url rather than the key alone.

Yes, you can share the URL (SG supports that, but will add their own referral, can be disabled in the settings), or send a gift via email, iirc.

Well, I thought I'd check it for myself. I don't own this months choice, but this is what it looks like to me:

Since it says you'll find it in "Extras", then that means it should be unrelated to weather you claim SRG or not. It's a separate item in the bundle, that doesn't use up a choice.
Go to https://www.humblebundle.com/home/purchases, open the Monthly from there and scroll to the bottom. Hopefully the coupon should be there, as per my experience with HB extras.
In case the coupon isn't there, maybe contact someone who has this monthly, or contact the HB support. They might also have a post in their blogs regarding this.

Thanks! Didn't even see that XD

Wow, this is "very" confusing on their part. It doesn't appear to be any coupon "code" what so ever. It appears to be applying for my shopping cart only. Guess I'll just remove the coupon from the description.

Yeah, that's how HB coupons usually work. But, afaik, they are always visible here: https://www.humblebundle.com/home/coupons

Anyway, it's great that it was figured out before the GA ended.
