Received this email earlier tonight regarding an upgrade from monthly plan to 12 months, not sure if it's targeted or not.
Thought it'd be good to take advantage of that instead of paying $8.99 every month for a year.

I think half of Ozbargain is still on the $7.99 yearly plan that Paramount made a mistake with last year :)
And I've still yet to use it LOL
Still looking for something good on it
Beavis and Butthead is coming soon
"uhhuhhuhuhhuhu I said coming"
@bdl: Fingers crossed for King of the Hill.
@bdl: am cornholio, I need tp for my bunghole
@WhatWouldBiggieDo: "Are you threatening me?! My bunghole will not wait for Quilton 3 ply!"
‘The Offer’ has been good so far :)
@Catsfan070911: yea been watching 'the offer' pretty good
made me watch all of GF1, GF2, GF3 again
@edBARGAIN: Working my way through those now, enjoy them even more so far because of The Offer :)
Tokyo Vice!
Mayor of Kingstown, 1883, Yellowjackets, Tokyo Vice, Super Pumped and the South Park Covid Specials, Survivor
@Ge3ks: Yellowjackets is good
I like the "Halo" series and sometimes watch A-league on it.
Nathan For You
1883, Yellowjackets, and Dexter New Blood were all pretty good
Yep and I think $7.99 yearly is the max I would pay for it with the lack of app updates.
Yeah, they've got some good content, but their app is complete trash. Easily the worst of all the streaming services.
Android TV app seems to be even worse.
Have they added a login with device/qr option yet? Making the customer enter a password using a clunky tv remote is not fun. Looking at you disney plus as welll…
Anyone else only getting stereo on Android TV (I'm using a shield pro).
Programmes say they're 5.1 yet only outputs stereo and can't change in the app. Every other streamer works fine
That was for IOS customers only deal yeah?
Yep, was a glitch on the ios store
Yes, signed up on IOS, now i can use on my Android too.
Still haven't used it. There literally nothing on it
Yeah that was such a waste of money. It’s not even a deal if it’s all trash and you never even use it. Just cost a lot of people $8. I definitely wouldn’t keep it again, not even at the glitch rate.
Sell it
I found plenty of great content. Each to their own I guess…
Dexter was good, and there was a doco about the Dream Team that was not bad
Your loss, lots of great content. All the movies are true Hollywood blockbusters.
New series like Halo, Dexter, Star Trek Strange New Worlds are great. Heck they even do sports and live TV.
Ah crap that's right. I guess they are the winners since I've never used it. I donated 7.99 to their cause
I'm the other half totally unaware of it.
$5
When it renews, do we know if they'll charge us the full price or only the $7.99?
No, that's what it said originally but if you look into your subscriptions it now has the tick against the normal annual RRP.
Dexter New Blood
Halo Series (never played the game, but enjoyed the series)
Star Trek Strange New World (only 3\4 episodes), better than that Discovery Rubbish
Tons of old TV Shows (the good ones, some are really poor quality though)
The Movies they have are proper Hollywood blockbusters, not like Netflix rubbish.
The only downside, is Paramount make a lot of good movies and they are leaving other services.
You can link with your prime account, to make it easier to find content. Not that I like the Prime interface, it's crap and not much better than the Paramount app.
I watched the first episode of the Halo series and thought it was pretty bad. The episode started off pretty well with the Spartan v covenant action.
It gets worse… master chief is out of his suit like 70% of the time + DGAF about the rebel sideplot which feel like filler episodes.
@Serapis: Yeah when master chief took off his helmet in the very first episode I hoped out lol. Seems the general consensus is that the rest of the episodes were pretty bad, especially the sex scene lmao.
Sure am. I’ve used it a few times - worth it alone for the full back catalogue of South Park. They also have some titles in 4K which Netflix does not.
Missing about 5 EPs - Super Best Friends", "Cartoon Wars Part I", "Cartoon Wars Part II", "200", and "201".
When was it last year? When does that expire?
Watched 2 movies in almost a year. Pulp fiction and Aquaman
Even at $7.99 a year, I find that a complete waste of money
Hey, if anyone's not using the sub I'd be happy to relieve you of the burden! 😄
Yup
Look like targeted with a special url link.
The link shared in the comments below worked for me.
Think the unique parameters are just for analytics/tracking, rather than making sure this is only limited to certain accounts. Given how crap the app is, I'm not surprised they overlooked this.
It's targeted.
Also if you don’t mind going via US route, you can probably get 9 months for US $4.99 (AU$7.09) via Sportsline

What you didn't choose the
$119.88 Monthly
??
Note that there are differences in content between the AU Paramount+ and US Paramount+ services. For example "The Gilded Age" is available with the AU service but not the US. This is because HBOMax has it in the US (HBO is the producer of this series but HBOMax is not available* in AU).
Thanks! Did this instead. $7 for 9 months is much better! Especially as I have access to the Aus specific content from other services.
You are welcome:) Just confirming did you get offered 6 months when trying to cancel?
Actually it looks like I’ve got 7 months total? Signed up to the quarterly deal. So think I only got offered 4 months for cancelling? Can’t remember what it said exactly as I was just busy clicking through and following the steps. My expiry is now 04/12/22.
Not sure how to share images online (excuse my lack of computer skills) but when clicking on the email, it takes me to a page where it says the following.
Annual:
PROMO CODE: 50% OFF FIRST YEAR
Standard price: $89.99 AUD/Year
Your special offer: $44.99 AUD/Year
Upon switching to annual billing, your account will immediately be charged the annual plan fee with the discount provided above already applied. If you switch before the end of your current subscription period, your account will be credited for the remainder of your subscription period. After the promotional period is over, your account will be charged $89.99 AUD/year plus taxes, if any, on a recurring basis beginning today. See the Subscription Terms for more information.
So what the code?
This is the link I click on. Not sure if it's the same for you guys.
https://www.paramountplus.com/account/switch/?promo=up50perc…
Thanks, worked for me
Worked for me too. Thanks.
@MrDog: Worked
I get a 404 error when using your link, and the promo code says it's not valid
Promo code seems to be 'up50percent'
Thank you worked for me. $44.99 and cancelled membership straightaway so have access until 26 May 2023.
What was the link?
Is there anything actually worth watching on Paramount?
Nope
You can check the library here
Both must watch…
- Escape at Dannemora
- Full Metal Jacket
Halo
Star Trek New and Old series , Movies
Man who fell to earth
I just had a look….almost had me at 50% off but the content is pretty bad
1883 is a great western. Ignore that it's a Yellowstone spin-off - it's set 150 years earlier and is a totally standalone thing.
Super Pumped was pretty good
A-League
Be aware that the content is very limited. IMO it's is not worth the sub. Terribly small library. Unappealing shows. Paid $5 for a year on the Apple app store. It's worth $5.
This post remind me that I have already had a sub via Apple subscription.
Not worth it, coming from someone who got it for $7.99 per year. Don't waste your money.
Buy yourself a Bottle of cheap whisky, might be more enjoyable.
For $7.99 a year it was a bargain. Watched last season of Star Trek Discovery on it as Netflix has ditched it, and now started Star Trek New Beginnings… got my moneys worth!
Lol we all thought we scored a bargain that day, we were wrong.
Probs our email addresses were worth more. Well played paramount Argentina
up50percent …is the code for 50% off
I feel ripped off for the $7.99 I paid for the year.
Lol Paramount + is a joke. I'll never sub to them ever again.
My account somehow got hacked ( I think ) and the hacker changed my log in email (Without Paramount even emailing the original email to confirm this is what I want). I can no longer reset the password because the account is under a different email. So I email paramount asking for help, they replied to ask for more details, which I gave then they never replied.
I email them again submitting a new ticket, they reply asking me for more details, I do that and they never reply.
What a pathetic back end. Poor customer service, and even worse security features.
I also suspect that maybe they knew I underpaid for my account ($5.95 for the year) and just closed it off. They aren't replying to avoid the situation. Who knows.
Report hacker to police
Don't be silly, they won't do anything.
Bikeeeessss
Thanks OP, was going to cancel my monthly subscription but at < $5 a month worth keeping for Star Trek …
Thanks OP. I recently subscribed and have been finding content I like. I didn't get this email but your link worked for me and I was able to use it.
Probably a good number of subscribers are people wanting to watch the A-League (yes, there are some) and FA Cup. Not surprising that they're giving 50% off with the A-League season ending this weekend and the FA Cup final having been a week or two ago.
Syncler and good debrid service excellent value 0
Said promote code invalid.
Still better value than eBay Plus through ShopBack
