How to Get Paramount+ Free Trial, Best Streaming Deals
When signing up directly through the streaming service, Paramount+ plans start at $8.99 per month. There are also two little-known workarounds to get Paramount+ for free through partner subscriptions, DirecTV and Walmart+.
Starting off with DirecTV, customers who sign up for one of the streaming service’s Entertainment, Choice or Ultimate signature packages will get the first three months of Paramount+ Premium included at no extra cost thanks to a limited-time premium channel promotion. Meanwhile, customers who opt for the highest tier signature package, Premier, have Paramount+ Premium included in their plan indefinitely. Plus, DirecTV offers a five-day free trial for any plan, meaning new members can stream Paramount+ (and everything else the packages have to offer) at no cost during the trial period.
As for the other “hack” of sorts, streamers can get free Paramount+ access through a Walmart+ membership, which includes the choice of Paramount+ Essential or Peacock Premium in its subscription. To sweeten the deal, Walmart+ offers a 30-day free trial period. Learn more about Walmart+ streaming offers and pricing here.
