Tile Basic Reimbursement

If you can’t find your eligible items, we reimburse you.

Note: Basic Reimbursement is available in the U.S. only.

How Basic Reimbursement Works

If Tile can’t find your things, we reimburse you $25 per eligible Tiled item.

Basic Reimbursement is included with all Tiles activated after October 2nd, 2020. Just make sure to register each eligible Tiled item within 30 days of activation.

Submit a Basic Reimbursement request

There is a 30-day waiting period per account after you register your first Tile before you can submit a reimbursement request.

Basic Reimbursement Details and Important Information

Eligibility

You need a working Tile to be eligible for Basic Reimbursement. A working Tile means the Tile has a working battery and is sending location updates at the time of registration. You must register your eligible item for Basic Reimbursement within 30 days of activating the Tile.

Eligible items are not eligible for reimbursement if the Tile battery is dead or the Tile is not sending a signal. Your Tile needs a new battery if your Tile app shows a low battery notification for that Tile. Please also check your permission settings for Tile.

If you don't meet the above eligibility requirements, you will not be able to register your item for Basic Reimbursement.

Items excluded from reimbursement

• Illegal items, including illegal drug paraphernalia;
• Prescription and non-prescription drugs and related paraphernalia;
• Controlled substances;

Coverage Period

Basic Reimbursement and Premium Item Reimbursement

Basic Reimbursement and Premium Item Reimbursement are separate warranties, so you will want to sign up for both. Once you sign up for both, you’re eligible for a $25 Basic Reimbursement for each eligible Tiled item.  In addition, with your Premium subscription, you are eligible for up to $100 Item Reimbursement per year across all your registered items. If you are a Premium Protect subscriber you are eligible for up to $1000 Item Reimbursement per year across all your registered items. Make sure to register your items individually, and submit your requests separately. Learn more about XCover's coverage policy about Basic Reimbursement.

Waiting Period during Basic Reimbursement Request

If you’re trying to submit a reimbursement request and are advised that there will be a 7-day waiting period, your Tile is still giving location updates. This ensures you have time to find your item before proceeding with a reimbursement request. If there are any location updates within the 7 days, the holding period doesn’t start over. Once the 7 days are up and you’re still unable to retrieve your item, you can submit your request.

There is no waiting period if there have been no location updates from your Tile in the last 7 days. Your request will go through immediately.

Payment Method

You will receive Basic Reimbursement payments via ACH direct deposit.
