The popular coin-sized trackers are on sale on Amazon right now for just $88.99 (for a four-pack), bringing the price of each individual AirTag down to just $22 each. Compare that to Apple.com, where AirTags start at $29 for a single tracker, you’re basically saving $7 (for reference: BestBuy has the four-pack at its original price of $99.99).

Amazon also has the individual AirTags for $29, but the trick to scoring an AirTags discount is to pick up the four pack at Amazon for $88. That brings the price of each AirTag down to just $22, which is the cheapest price we’ve seen for these trackers this year.
AirTags are quickly becoming a must-have accessory to help people keep track of their stuff, especially when commuting or traveling. The portable trackers measure just over an inch in diameter and weigh just 11 grams, making them super lightweight and easy to hide. They’re an essential travel accessory to help track your bags after checking them in, and they’re great for students who are prone to misplacing their backpacks or laptop cases too.
Tracking your items with AirTags is simple: The AirTags use Ultra Wideband technology to quickly identify and find your items nearby. If your items are further away, the AirTags tap into Apple’s “Find My” network, which many people already use for the “Find My Phone” feature. Simply connect to the “Find My” app on your phone or tablet, pair the app with your AirTag and instantly see where you stuff is. Apple says all communication with the network is anonymous and encrypted for privacy, and your location data and history are never stored on the AirTag or Cloud.
Each AirTag comes with a replaceable battery that lasts for more than a year, and the trackers are rated IP67 for dust and water-resistance too (they can be under up to a meter of water for 30 minutes or less without damage or losing connectivity).

Aside from travel, we stick AirTags on everything from our everyday carry (think wallets, keys, phone, etc.) to our coats and jackets. You can even attach an AirTag to a pet collar, to keep track of your furry friends.
While we simply put an AirTag in our bags and clothing, you can also grab an AirTag holder or keychain to keep the tiny devices more secure.
Apple products almost never go on sale and the AirTags have not been marked down since they launched last spring. As of this writing, the AirTags price is still $29 on Apple.com and a four-pack would cost almost $120. This AirTag sale on Amazon brings the four-pack down to just $88.99 (or just $22.25 per tracker).
While this doesn’t seem like a huge savings, it’s the only way to score an AirTags deal right now and the best way to grab these must-have devices in time for the holiday travel season.
Amazon’s AirTag deal sold out quickly last year during the holidays and this sale won’t last long so we recommend adding to cart soon. See full details here.
Prefer a different tracking device? The best-selling Tile Tracker (a popular AirTag dupe) is still in stock on Amazon and on sale for just $22 each.
