Expiry Date - Expires on - Expires tomorrow!!!

Post by NATURAL ANKLING »

Hi,
Maybe somebody here can give me a concise answer?
My voucher expires tomorrow?
It does really, but I'm confused.
My question is not food related, even though it's a voucher I have earned at a food store.

My guess is that it expires when the clock rolls past midnight on the 5th.

Hi,
I think it's normally when the business closes at the end of the day obviously after that you can't present any vouchers if it's not online.

Anyway the voucher on my app said expires today, and I managed to get me £10 off my weekly shop :)

expiry date is a previously determined date after which something should no longer be used,

Period ends, license expires, so can be used on the last date.
I'll have to look but I think I've got plenty of that in the fridge at the moment :)
But now replaced by best before.

I invariably had the same question about my insurance policies "cover expires 20/5/22" - am I covered on 20/5/22?

Fortunately my current company also includes times on their paperwork - maybe they all do these days.

Hi,
I remember seeing times on vehicle insurance also.
I am trying to think why?

On a cover note, the time it started and expired.
Policy I always assume ends at midnight.

Is "midnight on 8.7.22" midnight 7/8th, or midnight 8/9th? I looked into this a few years ago, and apparently there's no national or international standard.

My insurance policy says it runs from 1.2.22 to 31.1.23, which makes it fairly clear.
