Online Shopping Lingo

Experienced online shoppers know that there’s a lot more involved in finding good deals online than visiting sites such as Amazon.com and clicking on the “Today’s Deals” link. (Although that’s certainly not a bad idea!)

The deals worth bragging about are a lot more elusive, so savvy online shoppers turn to coupon, refunding and bargain sites for help. Yet for online shopping novices, visiting such sites may, at first, seem like visiting a foreign country. You see phrases such as:

GDA! BBW B&M BOGO on soaps, HTH

And you think WHAT? Huh? What are they talking about? What language is THAT?

(Translation: Good Deal Alert! Bath & Body Works brick-and-mortar store has buy-one-get-one on soaps, hope this helps!)

I mean, it’s enough to make you want to TYHO! (Tear Your Hair Out – I made that one up.)

Before you click away in frustration, let me reassure you that it IS possible to speak like a native – you just need a guide to the terminology, acronyms, abbreviations, definitions and common word usage found on rebate and premium product lists, coupon and online code lists, and refunding and trading forums.
