Eligible items for registration
You can register any functioning Tile that has been sending location updates, new or old. Tiles with a dead battery or not sending a signal due to incorrect permission settings or out of range are not eligible.
Most Tile partner devices, including Skullcandy True Wireless devices, are also eligible for Item Reimbursement. You’ll need to register each device individually.
A list of excluded items from reimbursement can be found in the respective terms and conditions:

Register your eligible Tiled items for Item Reimbursement
Prior to registering your Tiles, be sure to enable location services and confirm the Tile’s battery is working. All Tiles in your account are eligible to be registered.
If in the future you need to update your location from a country where Item Reimbursement was supported to a non-supported country, updating your country will mean you will lose access to Item Reimbursement and your existing item coverage(s).
However, if you need to update your location to a country where Item Reimbursement is also available, this will cancel your current Item Reimbursement coverage and you will need to re-register your item(s) to be eligible for Item Reimbursement. There will also be another 30-day waiting period after you re-register your item(s) before you can submit a reimbursement request.
- In the Tile app, select the Tile to register.
- Scroll down to and Tap on Item Reimbursement.
-
(For New or Existing subscribers who have not provided your location) Confirm that the pre-filed Country and Zip/Postal Code are your correct location.
- If it is correct, Tap on Continue.
- If it is incorrect, enter the correct Country and Zip/Postal Code and Tap on Continue.
- Required: Upload a photo clearly showing the Tile attached to the item.
- The app displays a message saying the registration was successful. The Tiled item that you just registered shows the photo that you uploaded and the shield icon on that Tile in the app.
Repeat the steps for each of your eligible items. Unregistered items will not be reimbursed.
Item Reimbursement Registration
You will know your eligible Tiled item is registered if you see the shield icon below your Tile on the home screen of the Tile app. If you don’t see the shield, you’ll need to register the eligible Tiled item to receive the benefit.
Change registration information on your items
If you have registered your item and you have not submitted a reimbursement claim for that item, you can change the registration information.
- In the Tile app, select the Tile whose information you wish to change.
- Scroll down to and select Item Reimbursement.
- Tap the Edit link.
- Tap on Edit Details or Retake Photo, depending on which information you wish to change.
- Enter the new information or follow the prompts to retake the photo.
- Tap on Done when you have entered the new information.
Waiting period before you can submit a reimbursement request
A Tile and lost item cannot be registered on the same day the item was lost. A registered Tile must be active and working on the Tile’s Network for 30 days after the registration prior to the eligible protected item going missing.
You will need to wait 7 days to finalize the reimbursement claim. This waiting period is meant to give you time to find the item if possible. If your item hasn’t been located after the 7-day period, you will receive a link to finalize your claim for reimbursement.
Submit a Reimbursement Request
- In the Tile app, select the Tile associated with the lost item.
- Scroll down to and select Item Reimbursement.
- Select Reimburse Me.
- Tap on Done.
- XCover.com will send a confirmation email within 3 days.

- US: XCover Warranty Terms

- Australia: XCover Product Disclosure Statement
Make sure to register each eligible Tiled item individually and submit your reimbursement requests separately.
Unfortunately, you cannot make a request if the registered item has not transmitted a signal for 60 days. This ensures your Tile’s battery is operational, permission settings are correct, and there’s a recent signal.
If you are unable to submit a 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.
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.
If you’ve confirmed the above and you still can’t make a request, your item may be ineligible.
Tile Item Reimbursement does not cover Tiled items that were stolen or items located through the Tile Network that cannot be safely retrieved (for example, Tiled keys lost on a freeway).
After You Submit Your Reimbursement Request
You’ll receive an email from XCover.com within 3 business days. It can take longer if additional documentation is needed, such as the proof of purchase.
Registering for Premium Item Reimbursement and Basic Reimbursement
