I am nothing special and don't believe I did anything out of the ordinary. When the Samsung website went live with the TriFold announcement I simply "signed up" my email for updates.

I was very surprised to get the Samsung Shop notification this morning with the offer to buy ahead of the official launch tomorrow. Based on Reddit, I clearly wasn't the only person that got the early invites. I guess having the Samsung Shop app and a Samsung account is the differentiator? Shrug. Samsung clearly knows about my past Fold 4, Fold 5, and Fold 6 purchases. They know I like the Z Fold series, lol, so maybe that played a small part...or maybe not.
Wow I have all that too but no luck here lol. Congrats though! Please post pics tomorrow if you're able to! It'll give me something to be jealous of this weekend 🙂
 
I cancelled for now. I want to go handle it in the store first. Alot of money to order something you aren't 100 percent sure about
Definitely wise to try before you buy.

I played around with the Fold 7 in stores enough that I feel the TriFold will be very familiar. The TriFold is basically an extension of the Fold 7 -- same front cover screen, same thinness, same cameras, same OneUI, same no S Pen, etc. And by most accounts, battery life is quite good on the TriFold. Hopefully I don't regret it, but I'm not feeling that will be an issue.

Today has been busy at work. Once I get free I need to dig more into whether or not Samsung VIP Advantage truly extends Care+ to the TriFold or not.
 
Truly limited TriFold quantities! Some folks received the following email (but I did not):

I’d say there’s a better than decent chance I end up buying one if they have in store stock and I’m able to get my hands on a display first. 😎
