That gives you what, a $300 Mini provided you can resell the touch 100%?

No it give you a $579 mini since the mini is not included in the offer.

Also, keep sales tax in mind - you'll pay it on both the Mac and the iPod...

And it's a rebate, so it's not like you get your cash up front for it.

Unlike in previous years, it doesn't appear that you can buy a more expensive iPod and just pay the difference.

And it looks like it has to be a new Mac. Figures. We just bought a refurb black MacBook which should be arriving Friday.

Twisted logic. Assume an 8% sales tax (only 5% where I live, but I know there are a lot of 8% jurisdictions).
On a mid-model 2.4ghz Edu MacBook tax would be $100 + $24 on the Touch.
End cost a/r @ Apple would be $1224 for both the MB and iPod.
Over at Amazon same MacBook is $1225 after $75 rebate BUT no free iPod.

Actually you can buy a 16GB or 32GB touch and pay the difference. I checked that out on the terms and conditions page. The rebate is $299 for any touch and $199 for only the 8GB nano. No options for the iPod classic; perhaps that means that the classic roadmap is winding down.
