What differs, and by how much

Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 酷碰; on the Mainland it is 购物券 - both point at “(loanword) coupon”.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 酷碰、購物券 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.

Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.

Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
