Can anyone confirm that this is still true?

I have a $ off e-cert, which the T&C's show that the purchase by and travel by date is in mid-Sept. this year. I used the cert to search for a trip in October, and the discount still showed up on the page where I could choose flights. Is there a chance that when I try to purchase the ticket, .bomb will tell me that the cert is actually not valid?
