Free trials
30-day free trial
There are often codes running (end date unknown) that will give you 30 days free Paramount+. At the moment you’re most likely to find these on promotion backs of Walkers crisps.
Remember to cancel this if you don’t want it to continue.
There are often other extended offers linked to new shows. Previous codes include NACHOS, STARTREKDAY and SOUTHPARK.
7-day free trial
You’ll be able to get a week of Paramount+ for free when you first sign up. You’ll have to enter your payment details, so if you don’t cancel before the trial ends you’ll be charged full price the for subsequent month.
7-day free trial via Amazon
Or if you have an Amazon Prime Video subscription (costing £5.99 a month) you can also sign up for a 7-day trial via your account. As with the other trial, it’s full price once the trial ends unless you cancel.
30-day free trial via Xbox
If you’re signed up to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’ll be able to get a 30-day free trial of Paramount+ from 28 June 2022.
The Xbox membership costs £10.99 a month, but you can try it for £1 for your first month. Remember to cancel this if you don’t want it to continue.
Deals and offers
Black Friday: Save 50%
If you pay for a full year during this Black Friday sale you’ll save 50%. This means it costs £34.95, which works out at £2.91 a month. .
Annual pass: Save 15%
If you pay for a full year upfront it costs £69.90, which works out at £5.82 a month. Effectively you’re getting 12 months for the price of 10.
Sky TV: Free with Sky Cinema subscription
Anyone who pays for Sky Cinema via Sky Glass or Sky Q (not via NOW TV) will get Paramount+ for free. Bearing in mind the cost of this vs getting those same movies from NOW, then it’s not really much of a saving – especially as you’ll likley be tied into a longer contract.
Personally I’d only get each service as and when I wanted to watch something on them – that’ll work out much cheaper.

When entering either SHORE or NACHOS in the ‘Have a promotional code?’ box a message comes back saying ‘This promotional code is not valid.’
There was another promotional code in use called ‘SOUTHPARK’, however it expired on the 27th of July.
So, I am guessing that the 30 day free trail has finished unless there are any new codes.
After doing a bit more research I have come across another promotional code called ‘STARTREKDAY’, which I can confirm is still active and gives you the 30 day free trial of Paramount+
Hi, the 30 day free trial link sends me to the Xbox Game Pass Perks page instead of the Paramount website… Can you post the correct lin please?
