While this year’s Amazon Prime Day(s) officially starts tomorrow, the powers that be have graced us with some stellar pre-day sales. Namely: a 4-pack of Apple AirTags for just $67.99 — the lowest price we’ve seen in months, if not ever. For context, according to our previous reporting, AirTag sale prices typically range from $69.99 to $74.99, so this deal is likely to sell out quickly.
Have you ever lost something — luggage, your keys, a backpack — and thought, “Man, I can’t wait until a Jetsons-style future when I can immediately push a button to know where my belongings are, and track them with a small techy device until I find them again?” Welcome to the here and now. Apple’s AirTags do exactly that. making them a tiny yet must-have travel companion that lets you stay on track of your items, whether you stick one in your wallet or keep one in the glove box of your car. It’s no wonder they’ve been a consistent bestseller here at HuffPost.
Here’s how they work: Each AirTag can ping its own location, so when you attach it to one of your belongings, you can track that item via Apple’s Find My app, which is available in the cloud and on Apple devices like iPhones, laptops and more. Through Find My, you can even tell your AirTag to play a sound so it’s easier to find.
Each one is completely encrypted for privacy, and even when it’s far away, it can anonymously and secretly use a network of Apple devices to send its location back to you. When you move away from an item like your keys, it can even send you a notice.
In addition to being water- and dust-resistant, AirTags have a wildly simple setup, and you can assign each one a name to keep your most valuable belongings sorted. After my car was stolen a few years ago and the thieves ripped out its GPS system, I bought one to keep in the spare tire in my trunk as a backup — and found it so useful I bought another to place in checked luggage (you never know where your bag might end up!). I haven’t lost my car in a crowded parking lot since.
AirTags have so many five-star reviews on Amazon, with an incredible 4.7-star rating. “The durability is outstanding,” wrote one reviewer, who added, “With their simple setup, tracking precision, durability, elegant design, and intelligent features, they are an investment worth every penny. If you’re an Apple user who values the security of your belongings, AirTags are an unbeatable choice. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and can’t recommend them enough.”
Join the hordes of others taking advantage of a rare Apple sale and grab a pack of four for the whole family or multiple valuable items. This price won’t last — and don’t forget to snag the AirTag holder as well for extra security. You can get a 4-pack to match your AirTags for less than $7. You’ll never want to travel without these again!
And don’t forget about these other lightweight Airtag holder options in case you need something a little different.

A lightweight Airtag wallet holder
This handy Airtag wallet holder can hold a single AirTag snugly in your wallet. It’s smaller than a traditional credit card and it’s flexible, making it a perfect fit for various wallet types.
Promising review: “I bought a different holder that proved to be too thick and rigid for my wallet. I can use that one with a different air tag for an alternate purpose. This one works better for my “back pocket” wallet. (So far, no problems with the air tag falling out).” — Ctexhowlin
