    Anyone successful with this? Firstly, it’s Amazon US. Then, it has shipping for non Prime users (even though I’ve got Prime, doubt Officeworks would beat that).

    • wise penny on 28/01/2020 - 08:39

      I tried that at Bunnings for a different item. They did price beat, for the item inc. shipping costs.

        If Officeworks beats this price, but adds shipping to it, then it's still more expensive than buying directly from Amazon with Prime shipping. Unless of course Officeworks doesn't add shipping to it, then it's 5% off.

                @walahbro: My understanding if that as long as you buy it though Amazon AU then it doesn't matter where it's shipped from the cashback from there all works the same, so in this case you'd use the Amazon AU cashback.

          "Nuttag" - had to google it.
          Had to peak through my fingers at the search result in case it was people tagging their nuts.

          That's some shocking branding!

    • jimaiwr on 28/01/2020 - 13:54

      nope. They're trash. App needs to be open at all times. The thing I hate the most is that they seem SO desperate for money, asking you to subscribe to their extra services, and basic functionality where it would alert you if two tiles are separated (eg someone stole your wallet) is a PAID service. Saw it in an advertisement, didn't know it was paid. Geo fencing is another paid service.

      On top of that, it keeps telling me to purchase replacement batteries when it's still working fine for months, and also keeps urging me to "upgrade" to the latest tile with an "exclusive offer"

      TLDR; What you get is trash for the amount it costs, you're better off buying a cheap ebay knockoff as they do the same thing. They also keep pushing desperately for you to upgrade to their new tiles and monthly subscription.

      • 900dollaridoos on 28/01/2020 - 15:30

        Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to hear.

        • monchee on 28/01/2020 - 16:04

          Same. Decided not to get it and removing it from my want list.

    • lostn on 28/01/2020 - 17:59

      its tracking range is very close. The beep is not very loud, so you have to be even closer to hear it. And it's also spotty. It will have the item show up as missing even when it's nearby. That or it takes a long time to locate.

      But it's better than nothing.

      When I was a carer for my dad with Alzheimers, I had him carry one in his wallet. One time we were out in a public place and I told him to sit down and wait for me while I went to buy some lunch for us, but he forgot my instruction and when I went back to look for him he was gone. I panicked. A person with Alzheimers being lost is very concerning. You should never let them out of your sight. Finding them will be difficult.

      I turned on my Tile tracker, and to my relief, it told me he was nearby and in range. And with that I was able to eventually find him.

      Just remember to replace them when their battery goes flat. Or replace the battery if it's a model that allows replacing batteries.

    • GreyRabbit on 28/01/2020 - 21:03

      Absolute trash. Dont buy it. I regret every penny I spent on it. Literally the worse purchase of my life.

    • theknight27 on 29/01/2020 - 02:38

      Huge fan, bought 1 a year ago and bought 4 when the old one died (bought 1 of the above, 1 slim and 2 sticker ones). The 2020 version has a replaceable battery. This model is great for keys, handbags, backpacks but I found it quite bulky in my wallet and the slim is of course much better there. This pack would be great if you're buying for yourself and one other imo.

  • MeagerDollarBucks on 28/01/2020 - 07:23

    I bought 4 in the last deal. They do live up to the hype, especially if your the type of person who misplaces their keys or phone a lot.

    At first, they don't seem worth sticking a $20 tile on wallets, glasses cases etc. But when they literally save you getting angry a few times a week, it's worth it's weight in gold

        I have tried the cheaper Nut tracker. My mum lost her keys at a Coles supermarket. I went back there and used the tracker and walked all throughout the store. I went to every nook and cranny multiple times, and never located the Nut. It never showed up on the radar. I was about to give up and I went and asked the clerk at the desk if they'd found a set of keys. They did. They pulled it out of the drawer right next to me and gave it back. The keys were this close, and it did not even show up on the radar.

        Also, even when it is located, the audible beeping of the Nut is softer than the Tile, which is already not super loud. This would make it pretty unreliable for locating through sound.

        I do agree that these Tiles are a bit too expensive though.

        did not downvote you btw.

        I anticipate Apple's offering will be at least $100 per unit, and you won't be able to replace the battery. Apple will charge $50 to replace the battery.

        After Apple releases their own tracker, you will see new trackers from Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, and maybe even Google.

        Apple leads, everyone else follows. They may not pioneer the idea, but it is only considered a good idea when Apple decides to make one. People don't copy the innovators, they copy Apple.

      Yes and no.

      Yes, you can place it anywhere, small and compact.
      No, interference problem. If the seat or anything covering that is too thick or contains metal. You will get random disconnection alerts.

      Technically yes, but also not really.

      For something like a car or bike, have a look at Telstra's Cat-M1 locator tag offering. Uses GPS alongside their network to track stuff without relying on bluetooth.

      Pricey ($200 upfront and I think $15 a month afterwards), but one of the best in the market right now, and it'll come with 3 bluetooth tags as well.
