Different server switchover times. iTunes seems to go at 8 PM Pacific Time, so you can check if something is a 1-day deal or not by looking there.

Kobo fluctuates between 8 and 9 PM, so if you're quick and careful, you can actually add something which started out the day as $1.99 but currently says $10.09 when you look at the listings, to the cart and once you click to start the checkout, see it shown as still $1.99, apply the coupon, watch it discount to $1.25, and checkout. I've done this in the past (and today, just now, with this very title) with success.

But I advise you to take a screenshot of your cart price right before and during the click-to-purchase while the little "processing" wheel is still spinning and check the amount on the "We just charged you $ and added this title to your library" confirmation screen, just in case.
