But you clearly missed at least one day logging on, or failing to collect the reward (i.e., you logged in, but didn't claim the reward [as happened to a guildie of mine]).
It is based off the timezone ZOS has always used; UTC.
It is not a scam, bug, or misrepresentation. Other than one bug the first month, it has worked as advertised since.
It sucks, though.

I believe that the most likely way that the OP missed a day (which must have been the case), is that, due to timezones causing the start of the day at different times in different places, this rewards calendar starts a day earlier than expected if you're in a later time zone such as those in NA...and remember everyone, it's gonna be that way every month...
oh, BTW, not everything in this game is based on midnight, UTC. It may be based on UTC, but not always midnight...otherwise, why do you get dailies restarting at 2am EDT which is, somewhere around 6am UTC or UTC+1?...also, many of the seasonal or one-time events start at around 10am EDT, which is sometime in the afternoon in UTC. I always do have a hard time keeping their schedules straight, as do many others, I'm sure...and then, don't even get me started on the 20 hour cycles on things like stable trainings...<g>
Well, you have to uncover all of the rewards - meaning you have to have all daily logins to get it. Your's is nearly totally covered, so no, you won't get anything. The reward is for people who logged in and claimed their reward every day until they reached the last reward with 100k gold. You will have a new chance next month - but you have to login and claim your reward every day to get to the end - which means all rewards uncovered and claimed within that month.

You are correct in that there are a several different countdowns for different things in-game.
Dailies, mount training, hirelings ...
I merely meant the daily reward has always been the same: UTC. Not that ZOS exclusively uses UTC for all things.

that makes no sense.
tomorrow is September 30th.
If I log in tomorrow, I should get the last reward.
it says the reward resets in 22 hours, which is still September.
I get what youre saying, it makes sense.. but when I rechecked it looks like they didnt say 'collect all your rewards by the end of September'.
What they said was that you needed to 'log in for 28 out of 30 days in September.' Is it possible you may have missed more than 2 days during the month?
No I think I logged in every day.
The issue is that no more rewards are available from this September calendar, because it will no longer be September tomorrow evening at 8pm EDT for the next reset of this calendar, it will instead be midnight UTC on October 1, which is 4 hours ahead of EDT. When you click on Announcements, the popup says "A new month begins", right? It's possible that you missed the first day of this calendar for the same reason, and didn't realize you were a day farther behind than you thought.
You must have missed a day. I swore I collected everyday and it seemed I may have forgotten to log in or claim a prize as well. Not much we can do. It sucks but all we can do is just move on to the next month.

it says the reward resets in 22 hours that will be around 4:45pm on September 30th... which is still September.
When I logged in and clicked my daily reward it then announced that there will be a new month next, that the rewards are resetting.
It did not show the reward of 100K coming up next.
And when I open the reward screen, there is no count down to when I can claim the 100k.
Does this mean I do not get the 100k gold even though tomorrow is September 30th, which means I should still get September rewards 22 hours from now? Or will I still get the gold tomorrow evening?
My internet went down for 3 days. I'm in the same position
The thing that I find frustrating is that they manage to gate the rewards so that if you log in, but don't take the reward, then you lose it and have to take it the next day.
All other games that I have played allow you to claim all of the previous days' rewards if you logged in on that day even if you didn't actually claim them ON the day.
As usual, crap system design in ESO.

Actually, it's more insidious than a "crap design".
It's a 1st year Psychology design, that has made it's way into the F2P business, and ESO has adopted it. Operant conditioning. Ever heard of a Skinner Box?
So, how ESO manages it, is they have a reward and they want to train you in a behavior to get that item. They train you, daily, to open up their Cash Shop, and click a button to get your Cash Shop item.
Skinner Box.
Personally, I find the aggressive methods to push their Cash Shop in our face over the last year to have tipped the scale for me. Well, amongst other things that were tipping the scale.
Even that marketing push to get the Summerset villa had a catch. Did you see October's Cash Shop showcase? Three separate Summerset furniture packages. Wouldn't those be immediately handy for all those people suddenly finding themselves with a large, empty manor. Sure, some will craft their own items, but it's all about convenience at this point, and they've been training and enticing people into the Store for quite some time.

I understand the frustration but even if the rewards restarted on the first of each month you still wouldn’t get it because September rewards started last day of August. If it started first day of September and ended first day of October you would still be a day behind lol.

Umm, actually the rewards do start on the first day of the month. As many in this thread have pointed out, you can't look at the time of day or the day of the month from your own perspective. Because of the way time zones work you must look at the time of day and the day of the month from the perspective of the game. In roughly 9 hours, you will have the first October reward available to you. At that time, it will in fact be October 1 from the perspective of the game, which I believe is based on UTC. It'll still be September 30 for me, being in NA and for many of you. For some of you down under, for instance, it's already October this very moment, yet you still won't get your reward for roughly 9 more hours I believe. (those playing in Australia, please correct me if I'm wrong on that. In other words, it's best not to talk in terms of your own timezone or your own date, you need to remember that this is based on the game's schedule, not your own. If you do that, then it'll be easier to keep track of it through the month, and the end of this month & beginning of the next month...
I logged in this morning and it still shows the 100K gold reward locked with a timer of 8 hours.
I will log back in this afternoon and I better get the gold reward.
I have been counting down the days till I get this reward. It is unacceptable if the rewards reset before then. I am playing on an NA server and it is September till the end of the day. They should not base the time off some other zone in the world that does not reflect the time the majority of players are in.
Either that or they should stop calling it "September" rewards and just call them "Monthly" rewards because today is still September.

@Myyth It's simple: you missed 3 days in September logging in or claiming the reward, so you don't get the last reward since you could only miss 2 days. It may be September for you, but you are the minority here.

Is there a greyed out lock on your final reward?
If yes, you are going to miss out.
Tonight at 7:00, I'm going to get the first of October's rewards even though its still September 30th for me in the US Central time zone. These have been out for several months now - its not like this is a mystery how they work.
