How to Get a Paramount Plus Free Trial With a Virtual Credit Card

With CBS Sports, major movies, and original shows like 1883, you may be interested in a Paramount Plus free trial to see what all the fuss is about. Of course, you need to be prepared to cancel the service before the free trial ends, otherwise you'll be charged for your first full month and every month thereafter until you remember to cancel it.

Don't risk forgetting to cancel and winding up with an unwanted charge on your account. DoNotPay can help you start a free Paramount Plus trial with a virtual credit card, so you can enjoy your trial without worry or hassle.

Does Paramount Plus Offer a Free Trial?

Paramount offers a free trial. You can sign up for a 7-day trial of their Essential or Premium service if you are a new subscriber. Both services offer the NFL on CBS, major soccer games, thousands of shows and movies, and around-the-clock live news with CBSN. From there, Premium offers a few additional perks:

• No ads except on live TV and select shows (Essential includes limited ads)
• Your local CBS station
• More live sports
• The ability to download your favorite shows to watch later

How to Sign Up for a Paramount Plus Free Trial

It's easy to sign up for a free trial with Paramount:

1. Visit the Paramount Plus sign up page.
2. Choose the Essential or Premium service, each of which comes with a free 7-day trial, and whether you prefer monthly or annual billing.
3. Create an account with your name, email address, and password.
4. Enter your credit card information.
5. Click "Start Paramount".
6. Enjoy your favorite Paramount Plus shows.

Does the Paramount Plus Trial Automatically Renew Into a Subscription?

If you decide you don't want a subscription, you need to cancel before your free trial is over. Otherwise, you'll be charged for your first month or for the entire year, depending upon whether you chose the monthly or annual payment option.

If you're afraid you might forget to cancel, you'll probably want to choose the monthly billing option when you sign up for your trial. That way, if you get charged, it's a much smaller amount and you can still cancel before you get charged for your second month. If you choose the annual option and get charged for the whole year, you won't be able to get a refund—though you will have a full year of Paramount Plus to enjoy.

This is how to cancel Paramount Plus:

1. Go to the Paramount Plus website.
2. Click your user initials in the upper right corner.
3. Choose "Account".
4. Click "Cancel Subscription".

What Does a Paramount Plus Subscription Cost?

If you proceed with your subscription, the cost depends upon your chosen service and whether you did monthly or annual billing. Annual billing offers a 16 percent savings:

You also have the option to bundle Paramount Plus with Showtime. This also comes with a 7-day free trial; after that trial period, you will be charged the following:

• Essential + Showtime: $11.99 per month or $119.99 per year
• Premium + Showtime: $14.99 per month or $149.99 per year

How to Avoid Automatic Renewal With DoNotPay Virtual Credit Cards

In one survey by Chase, 60 percent of respondents said they've forgotten about at least one recurring payment. That charge can add up after a few months, so it's important to keep track of your subscriptions and cancel the ones you don't need or want.

With DoNotPay, you can enjoy a free Paramount Plus trial or any other free trial without having to worry that you will be charged. With free virtual credit cards, your service will cancel automatically when the free trial ends. This is how it works:

• We generate random credit card info that you can use to subscribe to the service.
• There is no money or account associated with that card, so it can't be charged. When the free trial ends, you'll automatically be unsubscribed.
• Read this article about virtual credit cards to learn more.

You can use virtual credit cards to sign up for any type of free trial without worrying that you'll forget to cancel. This is one of many ways you can use DoNotPay to reduce hassle in your life.
