Never heard of cs expansion but im sure you will get cs source.

As far as I've understood, CS:Source will be free to HL2 owners, just like CS 1.6. Since you are technically an HL2 owner, you will be able to have CS:Source as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my idea of what's going on. About that CS expansion, I'm unaware of one exsiting. Unless you mean Condition Zero, but you have to buy that one seperatly.

u meant to ask if u will be in the CS:Source beta? yes u should be.

as for getting it for free when it releases? well Doug has mentioned CS:Source being availabe with HL2 at release time.. at least thats my understanding of it.

CS:CZ isn't really an expansion, and it's not part of the bundle.

It's not 100% sure that you get CS: Source with your ATI Key.
On the coupon it is said that you get Half-Life 2, nothing about CS: Source!
So it is open for Valve to decide if you will get access to both games or only H-L 2.

At the time they made the coupon, they hadn't announced CS: Source... of course he will get it.

Yes, it has been officially confirmed. Today an interview came out on Gamespot, regarding CS:Source, and it clearly states that all HL2 owners will get CS:Source for free, included with the game. But the option will be available for non-HL2 owners (if any will exist ) to buy CS:Source and have a standalone version. So basically, it's just like what they did with the old CS, and the old HL.
