I noticed some of the sales are Thursday Morning -> Sunday Morning...

I noticed some of the sales, such as this 15% zen purchase bonus, end Sunday morning instead of Monday morning like most of the weekend events and many other sales. More than once I have misread the original blog and had it in my mind i had the whole weekend to decide whether to buy or not, only to find out Sunday afternoon I had the dates wrong and it's too late.

Is this happening to anyone else? Do you think there's a method to it or just an accident?

At any rate, it just means I'll wait for the next sale.

    Indeed––I noticed the same with this weekend's Zen sale. If it's intentional, it seems to me a strange decision.

    Yeah, kinda strange that the offer ended on sunday morning.
    But you also have to consider that it sill ran 4 days, so if you couldn't decide what to do within these 96 hours you can't really blame cryptic since they proplery announced the time it ended.

    I missed the last Zen sale by about an hour, got it right this time. I'm learning to pay attention to the fine print these days.

    I will admit that it's not particularly intuitive that "ends Sunday" means Sunday morning, but it is clearly stated.

    Oh I'm not blaming anybody. In fact I'm kinda short on cash right now so its all good.

    I saw the dates mentioned in the announcement title and my mind said "weekend".

    I only mention it in case it was truly intended to BE on the weekend I thought someone should mention something, and in case there was a purpose, I wanted those who had the purpose to know I knew and wasn't going to be caught.

    Huh, I thought it was all weekend too.

    I even had a note to myself to buy some Zen on Sunday before the sale ended, but got distracted by something shiny and never did.
