Good price considering the 3 pack is $60 on the tile website. You might want to add that its not free shipping and it takes a min of $45 to get free shipping.

According to Tile's site... We do not control the lifespan of your Tile; the battery is guaranteed to last a full year from your purchase date. Your Tiles are covered for 12 months by our worry-free warranty!

Actually supposed to last three years according to the description:
"The new Tile sticker sticks to anything. Our small, waterproof Bluetooth tracker has an adhesive back, 3-year battery life and 150 ft range. It provides effortless, long term convenience."

I was expecting it to be sold by Tile. And then they take all these orders. And then cancel them. And give you a 10% off coupon code.

I was thinking the same thing, my buddy ordered the last Tile deal directly through the manufacturer. His order was automatically cancelled/refunded. A week later the two-pack showed up at his door...

In for one of these though, as I'm keen to try out the stickers for the price.

Don't bother, tile is shit, not the product itself but due to recent privacy implementation/restrictions on modern phone operating systems. It will neve run in the background thus make it useless.

Can you link to a page explaining this? Can't find anything that gives a simple explanation (when/how it changed, the implications, etc.)

What I am reading, this tile is only good till its battery last? Once battery is discharged, it's useless?

This is correct, in this respect you might consider them an expendable/disposable. But the typical real-world lifetime is ~3 years. Given the frequency of sales on these it's at least a reasonable value.

Changes in privacy/background app allowances as noted above are a bit of a concern though. The app needs to be running full time to actually be useful.
