Whether it&#8217;s attached to a suitcase zip, wallet, car keys, or a pet&#8217;s collar, these somewhat discreet pieces can assist in locating lost items.<\/p>\n<p>Although not the original tracker, many people will think of the <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=76202X1587086&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk%2Fproduct%2F9441804\" target=\"_blank\">Apple AirTag<\/a> &#8211; a coin-sized accessory that, according to the iOS brand, &#8216;tracks all your stuff&#8217;, and is exclusively for iPhone or Apple Find My users. I&#8217;ve personally used the AirTag on several holidays, placing them in checked luggage or my passport holder in case they go missing, and I&#8217;ve just discovered a way to get the gadget for less.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">The AirTag usually sells at Apple for \u00a335, but a recent <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=76202X1587086&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk%2Fproduct%2F9441804\" target=\"_blank\">deal at Argos<\/a> has reduced the price to \u00a329, but there&#8217;s even more savings to be had. In addition to the \u00a36 sale saving, shoppers who purchase the products through<a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=2459&amp;awinaffid=213635&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.topcashback.co.uk%2F15bon25a-tm%2F\" target=\"_blank\"> TopCashback<\/a> will save a further \u00a315.36 &#8211; as the AirTag drops to \u00a313.64.<\/p>\n<p>As a keen traveller outside of work, and a tech editor during my 9-5, trackers are something I&#8217;ve been able to test out for myself. From the AirTag to the<a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=76202X1587086&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.samsung.com%2Fuk%2Fmobile-accessories%2Fgalaxy-smarttag2-black-ei-t5600bbegeu%2F\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0Samsung SmartTag,<\/a>\u00a0Tile Tracker, and even a sleek card-like Chipolo SPOT.<\/p>\n<p>For those seeking a more discreet way to track their belongings, I&#8217;d suggest the <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=76202X1587086&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fchipolo.net%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fchipolo-card-spot\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a321 Chipolo SPOT,<\/a> which can be slipped into a wallet like a bank card. Alternatively, the<a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/44yLDuA\" target=\"_blank\"> Eufy SmartTrack,<\/a> currently \u00a318 on Amazon, is another lightweight option.<\/p>\n<p>Next up is the <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4ddEVw7\" target=\"_blank\">Tile Tag<\/a>, available on Amazon. Personally, I find the Tile Tag design easier to locate in a large suitcase compared to the smaller round AirTag, although the downside is the subscription fees required for better tracking. Apple&#8217;s main drawback, from my experience, is its limited compatibility with other phones. It relies on iPhones being in the vicinity to ping through once lost.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">To secure this deal, there are a few steps to follow. If you&#8217;re a new customer, start by creating <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=2459&amp;awinaffid=213635&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.topcashback.co.uk%2F15bon25a-tm%2F\" target=\"_blank\">a TopCashback account<\/a> and search for Argos.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve found the AirTag deal, shop as usual. TopCashback will register the sale and refund a portion of the money after shopping through its link.<\/p>\n<p data-mce-linkchecker-status=\"valid\">This is how the AirTag&#8217;s price drops from the already discounted \u00a329 to just \u00a313.64. However, it&#8217;s important to note that this offer is only for new <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=2459&amp;awinaffid=213635&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.topcashback.co.uk%2F15bon25a-tm%2F\" target=\"_blank\">TopCashback<\/a> and Argos members. Existing Argos customers who are new to TopCashback will pay slightly more &#8211; \u00a313.76 for the AirTag, to be precise.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to note that the cashback takes a few days to appear in users&#8217; accounts, but once it does, it can be withdrawn.
