Think online prices are final? Think again.
Retailers use clever tactics to get you to spend more, but if you know the right shopping hacks, you can flip the script and save a lot of money. From hidden coupons to abandoned cart tricks, here are 12 powerful online shopping hacks that most people don’t know—but Promosera.com does.
Retailers hate unfinished checkouts. Many will email you a discount within 24 hours just to win you back.
Pro Tip: Use this tactic for mid-sized brands and DTC (direct-to-consumer) stores. Combine the email offer with a Promosera coupon for double the savings.
Retailers sometimes raise prices based on your browsing history or location. Incognito mode hides your activity.
Pro Tip: Compare regular and private browser prices—you’ll be surprised.
Didn’t get a follow-up discount? Try adding an item to your cart, starting checkout with a second email, and leaving. Often, brands send a first-time user promo code to that inbox.
Electronics: Mondays
Travel: Tuesdays
Clothing: Thursdays/Fridays
Biggest deals: End of month & major holidays
Pro Tip: Promosera has deal calendars for every season—check them before buying.
Open a live chat and say: “Do you have any promo codes or new customer discounts I can use?”
Pro Tip: Many agents are allowed to give out unlisted codes if you ask politely.
Sign up to get a welcome discount. Once you’ve used it, unsubscribe. Rinse & repeat with your next purchase using a new email.
Ethical Tip: Don’t abuse this on small/local businesses. Use it strategically on big retailers.
Many brands quietly offer discounts for:
Students
Teachers
First responders
Military members
Pro Tip: Combine these with Promosera coupons when allowed.
Use sites like Raise, CardCash, or Gift Card Granny to buy gift cards at 5–20% off—then use them on top of promo codes.
Example: $100 gift card for $90 + 15% off code = stacked savings.
Some brands drop exclusive flash coupons on Instagram Stories, tweets, or TikTok videos.
Pro Tip: Promosera monitors many of these and surfaces verified versions for easy access.
Set alerts for price drops using tools like:
Honey Droplist
CamelCamelCamel (for Amazon)

Retailers can raise prices if they know you’re serious about a product. Clear cookies or use a fresh browser profile.
Best for: Flights, electronics, limited-edition items.
Most retailers raise prices slightly on weekends and lower them mid-week to drive weekday traffic.
Pro Tip: Plan your big purchases for Tuesday–Thursday, unless it’s a known sale day (like Black Friday or Memorial Day).
Retailers know every trick in the book to get you to pay full price—but now, so do you. Whether it’s using incognito mode or stacking codes from Promosera, these hacks can turn any purchase into a win.
