I received an email this morning and logging into my account and going into checkout I can see the promo code UPG50MJ23 in the URL link.

Not sure if it will work for anyone at all, if not I’ll ask mods to delete. Last deal post it worked for most people.

For those who do not have a current subscription, try the following steps (thanks to @idm4)

  1. Subscribe as a monthly user.
  2. Go to Account Details.
  3. Change from Monthly to Annual.
  4. Click Redeem promo code on the same screen, add UPG50MJ23
  5. Success.

    It was worth it when it was $8 for a year

      Oh indeed. Only reason I executed that deal (thanks Apple) was to watch new season of Dexter. Wasn't much else good on it at the time and never would have paid what they were asking otherwise.

  • Lockdude on 25/05/2023 - 08:26

    Noting this discount only lasts for 1 Year. Can you include that in the description and maybe title? "50% off 1 Year of Paramount Plus".

    • Commodore64 on 25/05/2023 - 08:33

      Was wondering that, thanks

  • slinkster on 25/05/2023 - 08:28

    But, but, but it wasn't barely worth the 6.50 we paid for a year.

    My existing annual subscription is due for renewal tomorrow. I applied this into the Promotion field in my account and it says it has applied to my account. Refreshing the screen it still shows $89.99 a year and a 50% discount promo underneath. I'll update tomorrow when the renewal goes through if it discounted.

    • Dolt2020 on 25/05/2023 - 08:51

      absolutely identical to my situation and action, except I chickened out and cancelled my sub. Worth it @ 50% off yep, probably not @ full price

        Mine had the same, but when the transaction was processed it was $44.50 so i thinks it’s all gone through ok

      Same here, I just messaged them, will post here if I hear back.

      Edit: Received an email back "Thank you for contacting Paramount+. We're here to help! We would like to confirm you have successfully applied the 50% annual discount."

      • cunningdrew on 25/05/2023 - 10:25

      Same as you. We must have signed up same time last year with similar deal.

      • GerrardLFC on 27/05/2023 - 17:29

        They charged me today also with 50% off applied.

    • Oceadge on 25/05/2023 - 17:15

      Thanks, my sub was due to expire on Saturday. Was just about to cancel but I'll keep it for another year at $45! (Hopefully applying the code works for me!)

    • x x on 25/05/2023 - 17:22

      Same. My sub ends on Saturday so I tried the coupon but getting error message saying multiple coupons applied and no mention of a discount applied

    • cb2540 on 25/05/2023 - 17:53
      +1

      Haha same here too, so I changed billing from credit card to a debit card and deliberately only put $50 in. If the payment fails then I just don’t renew.

    • x x on 25/05/2023 - 18:52

      I got this reply but not sure if it means I've already redeemed it for the last 12mths and can only use the 50% off coupon once..

      Thank you for contacting Paramount+. We're here to help.

    Only sign up last month to watch A League, but the season is finishing up. Haven't watched anything else. If I were to pay, what streaming service is worth paying for sports?

    • jdreamer on 25/05/2023 - 08:59

      Kayo or Optus sports maybe? It really depends on what you want to watch. Football (soccer) seasons are ending so…

    • Potedude on 26/05/2023 - 00:06

      Kayo has the F1. Although the season has been pretty boring so far.

      • asdfasdfasdfasdf on 26/05/2023 - 08:53

    • tightm8 on 25/05/2023 - 09:14
      +10

      Actually not bad, for 5-6 a month its decent value.

      But it all adds up, with Netflix's 'house only' thing being rolled out, I think a return to the high seas is inevitable for me.

      Currently paying $70 a month in subs.

    • Henrideacon on 25/05/2023 - 09:15

      Yellow Jackets, In the Dark, Wolf Pack. Lots of cop shows. Some older movies. Enjoying it at the moment.

    44 dollars is about 43 dollars too much. They can just about fit their entire catalogue on one page without a scroll bar.

    • HomebrewFC on 25/05/2023 - 10:42
      +2

      This is $3.75/month, less than a quarter of the price of the comparable plan on Netflix. Don't expect it to be the same.

  • dtc on 25/05/2023 - 11:41
    +3

    There are quite a few things worth watching but many of them tend to be on other services (eg Good Wife/Fight, UK Ghosts, plenty of other things). Perhaps Yellowjackets is the only exclusive that is good (some people like Rabbit Hole). Yellowjackets is definitely worth 1 or 2 months subscription/free promo deal. However if you wanted to have Paramount as your streaming option for a few months then most people will find enough to watch. If you are wondering whether to add it to netflix, stan, disney and binge - probably wont justify itself

    • Name on 25/05/2023 - 12:00

      Perfect! Answered the question without me even needing to ask it!

    • GandalfTheCheap on 25/05/2023 - 21:42

    Not sure if I stuffed it up…

    I tried to apply the coupon first and said invalid so then I changed the subscription to annual.. then my phone pinged saying the ful $89 price hit my card.. then i was able to apply the promo code after that.. it now says 50% off for 1 year but my credit card was pinged for the full $89.. i'm guessing it'll settle at the reduced price… just a very annoying setup.. not really user friendly.

    • mikeyb on 25/05/2023 - 12:50

      Yep exactly what I am scared of doing. I get to the screen that asks if I want to confirm changing to annual but nothing to put in the promo code in that window. Not risking it lol.

  • datafellows on 25/05/2023 - 12:27

    Tulsa King is really entertaining, a lightweight Breaking Bad vibe with an heavy weight actor.

    I got my free month once again and considering should I continue with them or not. I love Star Trek and cop series but Primevideo and Disney+ brings a lot of value and one more streaming service starts to be one too many.

    • x x on 25/05/2023 - 16:26

    Be warned that in Australia we get basic 1080p and plain 5.1 audio, no 4K and no Atmos, unlike the US. Plus a VPN cannot be used to access the better quality US content. Outside the US we get a completely different watered down version. I’m not signing up again.

        I signed up with the free one month code "STALLONE" but now when I try to change to annual, there is nowhere to enter the promo code? And it says I will be charged $89.99 immediately? Can I enter the code after being charged?

  • Tommyboy1942 on 26/05/2023 - 11:33

    I applied the promo code and they charged me full price. I lodged a support job under subscriptions. They refunded me the difference with a reply within an hour. When you apply the promo code and change to annual it seems like there is no proceed button it just happens. I assume the website didn't register the promo code. I took a screen shot but it wasnt needed to get the money. back. Great deal though thanks for saving me the 45!

    • MuddyClear on 26/05/2023 - 14:58

    • Cherry12 on 28/05/2023 - 17:51

      Yes, I had it with another service last time it went on sale. Cancelled it, sale had expired and left it like that. I just rejoined now at 50% off.

      Because I had it through another service, even after I cancelled it was still active (e.g. because they charge one month ahead). Paramount wouldn't let me pay on my own until the date on the other service had expired.

  • Junkee on 28/05/2023 - 19:20

    It won't let me change my subscription through the website. It says to do it on the app. When I go to the app and try to change to monthly, it openes up in the Google Play store. There is nowhere to enter a promo code. Am I doing it wrong?

    • Cherry12 on 28/05/2023 - 19:27

      I did it on their website from the computer and had no issues. Are you trying to open it from your phone?

      • Junkee on 28/05/2023 - 20:30

        No on my PC. When I go to my account settings it says "To modify your subscription, please do so in the app store where you purchased your subscription."

        • Cherry12 on 29/05/2023 - 18:14
