The official Elevation Lab Amazon storefront is offering its TagVault Wallet AirTag card holder for $7.95 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $25. Be sure to clip the on-page coupon. Regularly as much as $12 in some colorways, the black model on sale here today typically sells $10. You’re looking at a solid 20% price drop to match the discount we tracked for Black Friday last year. While we have featured a number of Find My wallet tracker cards as of late, including this $22.50 model at its all-time low, Elevation Lab’s holder delivers a similar experience by way of the Apple item tracker you already have for even less with today’s deal. More details below.

We have featured a couple Find My-equipped wallet card trackers around here as of late, like the SmartCard from KeySmart and the Journey LOC8 model, but the Pebblebee Card Gen 2 is now the most affordable rechargeable model of the bunch. Regularly $42 directly from the official site and usually closer to $30 at Amazon, you can now score one down at $22.50 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $25. This is the Gen 2 model that just landed on Amazon at the tail of end of last year and is now at the lowest price we have tracked since. Head below for a closer look at the feature set.

Amazon is now offering the Yummly Smart Meat Thermometer for $49 shipped. This model debuted at $129, but now more typically sells in the $80 range at Amazon. Today’s deal knocks another $31 off that total to deliver the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon.

While you can score the less premium Q6 85-inch model down at just over $900 right now on sale, the Q7 takes things up a notch with higher-end specs, full array PRO local dimming, and better Freesync Premium Pro action for gaming.
