Thirty percent off is the current discount applied to Fi’s satellite-connected pet trackers, a reduction that brings the flagship Fi Ultra back to its initial launch price of $209.30. This offer runs through October 25 and requires the entry of the coupon code SCARY during checkout. The promotion applies to several models that utilize advanced connectivity to locate wandering cats and dogs.

The device features an IP68 rating, meaning it is fully waterproof and safe for use in saltwater environments. Battery endurance typically lasts up to five days, though this figure fluctuates based on the animal's activity level. The unit attaches securely to a collar or harness and triangulates position using a blend of LTE, GPS, and Starlink satellite signals. This hybrid approach ensures location updates continue even when standard cellular service drops out. The tracker also includes haptic feedback and sound capabilities to help owners retrieve their pets.

Fi positions this hardware as the first dog tracker to integrate T-Satellite, Starlink, GPS, and LTE into a single unit. Earlier this year, Wire Coverage tested the device in a remote area of South Carolina. While the tracking accuracy proved precise, the data refresh rate of two to three minutes may feel slow for highly agile animals. In Lost Mode, which prioritizes frequent updates, the battery drained significantly faster, lasting barely two days on a full charge. The physical size of the unit makes it more suitable for larger breeds rather than small dogs.

Hardware alone is not enough to activate the tracking features, as an active subscription is mandatory. Fi offers reduced rates for the initial billing term and provides six-month, one-year, and two-year plans that lower the average monthly cost. A one-year commitment costs $99 for the first year, with subsequent years priced at $189. It is important to note that these plans function exclusively within the United States and do not include satellite coverage for Alaska.

Beyond pet technology, several other electronics and toys are currently discounted on Amazon. A physical copy of Kirby Air Riders for the Nintendo Switch 2 is available for $48.99, a drop from the standard $69.99. The game offers deep customization options for characters and karts, with various upgrades unlocking as players progress. The JLab JBuds Talk USB-C microphone is also on sale for $24.99, a significant reduction from its typical retail range of $50 to $100. This microphone provides four directional modes and records at 96KHz/24-bit, offering a clear audio advantage over built-in laptop or headphone mics. Finally, the Lego Star Wars Grogu set is listed at $103.99, its lowest price to date. The 1,200-piece kit features the character in beskar armor, includes a satchel, and allows builders to swap facial features and move the head via a built-in lever.
