Bluetooth tracking tags are the perfect holiday gift; they’re both high-tech and practical, they’re easy to set up and use, and literally everyone has something they lose, from luggage, to laptops, to car keys, to pets. Plus, they’re compact and easy to wrap. Best of all, these Mate tags from Tile are —especially while they’re 50% off for Cyber Monday.

They work like this: You affix them to whatever you like, and then you can either see where the item is on a map on your phone or play an alarm. But that’s only half of what makes these trackers useful, because also work in reverse: You can click a Mate and it will ring your phone in case you lose that.

A four pack of Mate trackers for $39.99 is the lowest price Amazon has ever offered, so this isn’t an illusionary bargain, and it’s much cheaper than Apple’s competing product: A four-pack of AirTags lists for $99, and is currently on sale for $62.99.

What stores have the best sales on Cyber Monday?

Nowadays, both large retailers and small businesses compete for Cyber Monday shoppers, so you can expect practically every store to run sales through Monday, December 1, 2025. The “best” sales depend on your needs, but in general, the biggest discounts tend to come from larger retailers that can afford lower prices: think places like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Home Depot. You can find all the best sales from major retailers on our live blog. 

Are Cyber Monday deals worth it?

In short, yes, Cyber Monday still offers discounts that can be rare throughout the rest of the year. If there’s something you want to buy, or you’re shopping for gifts, it’s a good time to look for discounts on what you need, especially tech sales, home improvement supplies, and fitness tech. Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save is to not buy anything. 

Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?

Black Friday used to be bigger for major retailers and more expensive tech and appliances, while Cyber Monday was for cheaper tech and gave smaller businesses a chance to compete online. Nowadays, though, the distinction is almost meaningless. Every major retailer will offer sales on both days, and the smart move is to know what you want, use price trackers or refer to guides like our live blog that use price trackers for you, and don’t stress over finding the perfect timing.
