Question about posting a Hot Deal

I work for a retail company that sells a lot of different products. The particular product that i sell is epson printers. I basically go to different retail stores and sell epson printers. Well in the infomemo that i got today it says that there is a particular rebate available starting July 20 (sunday) from a certain store. Together with the epson rebate that is already available it makes this printer very cheap after two rebates. Can i post this or am i violating some kind of policy? I mean the rebate form isn't out yet but i know it will be. Just thought i'd ask.
 
I'd worry less about AT's policy than your employer's policies! Us greedy ATers would just tell you to post the info!
 
At least two AT'ers have been fired for posting HD's in the hot deals forum. NeoV got fired from Staples/OM/OD (I forget which) after he posted a monitor deal, someone printed out the thread and NeoV's profile information and took it to staples. Someone else (I don't remember who) got fired from Home Depot for posting a list of items on clearance.
 
Yeah, just be extra safe and create a new account without a profile and post it. We'll love you regardless😛

I 'think' that was Evadman.

Both cases were pretty sad.

 
Since you said you were going to post it, you could have posted it here too 🙂 Would have saved me the trouble of clicking over to Hot Deals (I swore I'd stay away from there until I got over that spending $ to save $ addiction)

Now look what you've gone and done..... Now I'm back in hot deals....
 
Insider information posted in Hot Deals has lead to the termination of a few employees. Are you willing to take the chance?
