It's typically done as a credit on your bill up to some maximum value per night's stay. So, you could probably do either day, but not both.

It's one breakfast for two people per night. You would just get one. Since check-in is usually after noon it would be breakfast on the day of checkout.

If you book a one night hotel stay, typically, your free breakfast amenity is the following morning. Also, typically you cannot check in until sometime in the afternoon. So this really is not as issue as breakfast is long over by check in time. HOWEVER, one nice thing about AMEX is that I have have VERY GOOD luck at arrainging fo early check in as well as the complimentary late departure. If you do arrange an early check in, simply ask the hotel if you can use your voucher the morning early. You will not get vouchers for both days though and if you want to try and move it to the first day, you will have to talk to the hotel. PTS will not be able to effect the validity of their amenity package.

On a few occasions, I've checked in very early in the morning (flying to BKK or HKG overnight, for instance) on an FHR rate and the hotel front desk has comped breakfast the morning of arrival (without asking, btw). Don't count on it, but you can luck out. If the hotel goes strictly by the book, you are out of luck.

This is a good general guideline, but not always the rule. Always check how your amenity is credited on check in. Some hotels, often in Vegas, apply the credit to your "card pass". You actually have to swipe it. (Not the Wynn where it is just taken off at check out). I always just ask, and on occasion I have been asked how I would like the credit offered to me.

One of the nice things about FHR, is that more often than not, you receive a nice letter at check in, or waiting for you in your room, which explains exactly how to use your amenities.
