But will it work, or will miners gladly pay the extra $100? AMD would love that -- miners won't redeem the games or the discounts, so that extra $100 is pure profit.

Is that how those bundles work? AMD only pays when the game gets activated/redeemed? I always thought they just buy a bunch of game licenses and pay upfront.
Miners might want to sell the games/discounts to recoup their losses. After all, if you get a $50 discount on a $200 monitor then you can just re-sell it new for $200 and get your money back.
