The simple gadget is giving travellers peace of mind
A nifty £19 travel accessory is a must-have for holidaymakers who want peace of mind on the go. Shoppers praise it for helping them ‘accurately find luggage’ and keep track of valuables, making travel far less stressful.
Now, the Tile by Life360 Mate is up for grabs for £19.90, down from £24.99 on Amazon. This is for the black model – there are various other colours to choose from, for different prices.
The tracker is easy to use – all buyers have to do is simply attach it to everyday items like keys, water bottles, or bags, and use the free app to track them in seconds. They can also stay secure with the SOS feature, which discreetly alerts loved ones in unsafe situations.

As an extra feature, the listing says: ‘Phone hiding under a cushion? Use your Tile to make it ring — even when silenced.’ Plus, it integrates with Life360, a family connection and safety app, so buyers can see everything and everyone on the same map, keeping their household connected and organised.
An alternative option is the Samsung SmartTag2, which costs £34.99 from Argos. The listing says this device has a battery life of up to 500 days, and ‘keeps your valuables located and helps control various IoT devices with a simple click’.
The Tile by Life360 Mate is available from Amazon
To use it, buyers can simply attach it to everyday items like keys, water bottles, or bags, and use the free app to track them in seconds.
Or there’s the popular Apple AirTag £29 from Currys. This tracker helps shoppers keep tabs on their essentials by either popping it on their keys or in their bags. It’s said to be water and dust-resistant, with a battery life of a year.
The Tile by Life360 Mate has been bought over 500 times in the past month on Amazon and also got a 4.2 out of 5-star rating. One person said: “The real win has been for my daughter.
“She’s not always the best at remembering things, including, on one memorable occasion, which car park she’d actually parked in. Let’s just say this tracker would have saved us a lot of walking (and mild panic) that day. Since using these trackers, finding keys (and cars) is much less stressful.”
Another added: “Not remembering where my keys are is a thing of the past. I travelled recently and dropped my keys in my suitcase. I was able to locate my suitcase in the airport after being on a connecting flight and having a gate change. It is completely accurate, and the sound is very clear.”
A third commented: “Great product. I’ve had to use it twice already to find my car keys and phone.” Some disagreed slightly as one person said: “The battery is supposed to last 3 years. Then it’s time for the bin as the battery can not be replaced. It seems to work well at the moment.”
Another added: “Brilliant finds my keys every time I misplace them. Changing the battery is a little more complicated.”
