Here's a tip for you merchants...
When you set an expiration date on offers...
DO NOT STATE THAT THEY EXPIRE AT MIDNIGHT.
Expiring an offer at midnight is too confusing. Do you really mean midnight (The beginning of the day - 00:00)? Or, do you actually mean 23:59:59 PM (the end of the day)? The latter seems to be the intent usually, but, who knows? Its ambiguous.
Why be ambiguous?
