The cited wording does not establish one deadline that applies to every reservation. It does specify a payment condition: a non-refundable or advance purchase rate is charged immediately for the full amount of the stay once the card has been verified.
That immediate charge applies to those rate types, not to every reservation. The booking terms may also cover cancellation, early departure, advance purchase and other payment conditions, so the applicable deadline must be checked against the terms for the exact reservation.
What Do the Published Terms Confirm?
| Point | Confirmed position |

| Payment trigger | The card must be verified. |

What Must the Traveller Confirm?
Before relying on a deadline or payment condition, the traveller should confirm:
- Whether the selected rate is non-refundable or an advance purchase rate.
- Any cancellation deadline and related conditions.
- Any terms governing early departure.
- Whether additional payment conditions apply to the reservation.
No specific date, monetary amount or reservation-specific cutoff is confirmed in the cited wording, so none can be stated reliably here.
