Bluetooth trackers have become a travel essential, with the tiny coin-sized AirTags or TileTags tracking every move of luggage or personal belongings it’s attached to. If you’re jetting off on holiday soon, we’ve found a lightweight Apple rival that mimics a card that slips into wallets, and stacking two deals drops the price to £5 after cashback.
For more than £100 cheaper than Apple’s pack of four AirTags, the Eufy SmartTrack Card is £19.99 at Argos but can be bought for £4.82 ahead of spring and summer holidays thanks to a lesser-known deal from Top Cashback.
The shopping site gives shoppers a proportion of their money back when they buy the product through its link, which is how the price drops down to less than £5 for new TopCashback members. The tracker is designed to fit in wallets like a usual bank card and works with Apple Find My to track items if lost.

It means shoppers can set up alerts on their phones and track through the eufy Security app. A winning feature over the AirTag is that this works with both iOS iPhones and Android, so it doesn’t matter which software your phone runs off – making it useful for a lot more people.
Like the well-known Tile trackers, the eufy gadget also tracks an alarm when lost, which can be activated through the app when a user realises they’ve misplaced or lost the belonging it’s hidden within. “I bought few to replace my Apple Airtags. The card is easily fit wallet and hides inside cars or luggage” said one shopper.
They continued to share how it also has features similar to Apple, as they said: “Also easy to link with iOS just like Airtags. Overall I am very happy with the experience so far, the price is also reasonable.” While another shopper said: “This is an easy to use and set up AirTag functioning card.
“Simply press the button add a new device in find my and name it. I have mine in my wallet and have already had pay back in finding wallet after it had slipped down back of chair etc. useful for anything slim – wallet, purse, passport holder etc.”
The Mirror shopping team is clued up when it comes to these tracking devices, having reviewed competitors Tile and AirTag when flying out on holiday. And similar to the shoppers’ comments, we know that these devices can be essential when flying and popping into check-in in baggage – just in case they don’t turn up at the set destination.
Another shopper said: “I love the fact it blends in my wallet and was also brilliant hidden in my luggage it’s such a slim design and brilliant at making sure my valuables are safe.”
The downside to this particular eufy model is its battery, which puts it behind Apple and the likes of Chipolo devices – that are £18 at Amazon. Once the battery runs out of juice, there is no way to charge it. As one shopper highlighted: “Nice tracker, works well for people like me who constantly forget where they’ve put their phone.
“Negatives: For the price, there’s no charger or way to replace the battery – you’d have to re-buy a whole new one.” Amazon, however, sells a different model of the eufy SmartTrack Card, which is rechargeable and costs £29.99.
If you’re already a member of Argos then the rate will be slightly cheaper, as you can see below:
