AMEX AC %off promo codes

Quick question regarding the AC %off promo codes AMEX sometimes sends out:

If it says "need to book by Dec. 10", that means "11.59p.m. EST (or possibly city of departure) on Dec. 10", correct?

Might be 12 pm Eastern? Or GMT?

But I would not hold my breath on being departure time. Lise has not retired yet.

BTW still worked half an hour ago. And thanks for the reminder.

Thanks - yeah, I won't hold my breath when it comes to IT compentency.

But making a booking at 10a.m. EST on Dec. 10 should work, shouldn't it?

(My question was more along the lines of whether "by Dec. 10" means "by the beginning of that day" or "by the end of that day".)

Where do they send those out? Is that with certain Amex cards only?

I have 3 AMEX cards - Platinum for business,and Aeroplus Platinum and Gold Rewards AMEX for personal use.

I got an email with a one-time promo code from AMEX (not from AC); saying that as long as I use my AMEX card (it did not specific which card) I will get advantage of the card - expiration date today and promotional discount 15%
