Pet owners can cut the cost of a satellite-connected GPS tracker by 30 percent through October 25. The discount applies to multiple Fi models when shoppers enter the code SCARY at checkout.

The Fi Ultra, a unit tested by The Verge earlier this year, falls to $209.30 under the promotion. That figure matches the original launch price for the device.

The tracker clips onto a collar or harness and uses LTE, GPS, and Starlink satellite signals to locate pets in areas without cellular service. Fi states this is the first dog tracker to combine T-Satellite with Starlink, GPS, and LTE. The unit holds an IP68 rating for full waterproofing, including saltwater exposure, and offers a battery life of up to five days depending on activity levels. It can also vibrate or play sounds to get a dog's attention.

Testing in remote South Carolina showed precise tracking, though updates arrived every two to three minutes. That interval may be slow for fast-moving dogs. Battery performance dropped in Lost Mode, where a full charge lasted barely two days. The device is large enough that it suits bigger dogs better than small ones.

Tracking features require an active subscription. Fi offers six-month, one-year, and two-year plans with lower monthly rates for longer terms. A one-year plan costs $99 for the first year and $189 for each subsequent year. Service is limited to the United States, with no satellite coverage in Alaska.

Other deals include a Nintendo Switch 2 copy of Kirby Air Riders at $48.99 on Amazon, down from $69.99. The JLab JBuds Talk USB-C microphone is listed at $24.99, a discount from its usual $50 to $100 price range. Amazon also sells the Lego Star Wars Grogu set for $103.99, a $26 reduction that matches its lowest recorded price. The 1,200-piece kit includes a satchel and swappable facial features.
