UPG50MJ23

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

    • +2

      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.

  • 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".

    • Was wondering that, thanks

  • Mine is only offering 15% off.

  • +5

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

  • +13

    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.

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

      • +1

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

    • +4

      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."

      • Good to know. Certainly their copy is quite ambiguous on the site.

    • +2

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

      • They charged me today also with 50% off applied.

    • 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!)

    • 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

    • +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.

    • 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. Our records indicate that the account associated with the email you contacted us with has an active annual subscription and an active promo for 50% off that was redeemed last May 24, 2023.

      Update: The discount went through and I was only charged 50%. Nice.

  • There app sucks big time
    Get not available in your country on resume

    • +1

      It does. They advertise Dolby Vision +Atmos. There is ONE movie with it in australia (south park of all things)

  • +2

    Can't download the paramount app or binge to my Samsung TV and I ain't buying a new TV huhh

    • +3

      Just get a Chromecast with Google TV. It is so cheap these days.

      • +1

        I prefer my Fire Stick 4K Max, but they're very similar. With cashback recently it was down to <$50

    • +1

      Paramount is slack with this. No app for Xbox Series either.

    • I've downloaded the Paramount app on Samsung. Live soccer refuses to work on it though so I resorted to using a Chromecast

    • Mine too. I have to cast from my phone instead.

  • +4

    Got a year sub before coz I wanted to introduce classic nickelodeon shows to my daughter. Once she was done, haven't opened it again.. Just waiting for the sub to expire.. Not worth their asking price even on a 50% off..

    • +2

      I only watched Strange New Worlds and Yellowjackets, admittedly if I wait until they are all released I could watch them in one month

  • +1

    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?

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

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

      • True! I usually see the highlights. I'm already sleeping most of the races. 😆

  • +1

    Also just went to cancel my free month trial and they offered 50% off for 3 months.

  • +3

    They could learn a lot from Netflix.. with skip to next episode, skip intro etc

    • +3

      …password sharing

      Oh wait

    • +1

      App is terrible. Even the video quality is bad compared to netflix and prime.

  • Is there anything worthwhile to watch?

    • +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.

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

      1883 and 1923. The prequel to Yellowstone, but better.

    Thanks for the reminder to cancel Paramount+.

    • +1

      And Netflix

      • +2

        That went a while ago, it was only the in-laws using it, it gave them sad-face when I told them.
        I said I'd turn it back on if there was something to watch, this was a lie.

    • Which is a nightmare on the Amazon Site. I still can't find how. The Chat window is running around in circles.

      • I finally got thru via chat and they able to cancel it.

  • +4

    thanks! we were going very slowly through yellowjackets because it's spooky but we love it, so I'm happy to renew and have star trek content for sick days ; and also to share the account with 5 friends

  • I cannot find a way to switch to annual billing so I ended up cancelling completely.

    • +3

      Decided to give it another go now my sub has expired and I'm getting "Unable to complete transaction, please contact your bank" with four different cards from 3 different banks. WTF?

      • Yeah - I'm getting the same issue. Tried 3 cards from 2 different banks.

  • Finally I can watch South park's latest season.

    • +4

      There Arrr other ways.

      • WHAAAAT????
        and
        HOWWW??

  • -1

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

    • +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.

  • +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

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

    • Strange New Worlds is another good exclusive.

  • +3

    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.

    • 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.

  • +4

    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.

    • How much are you paying for Disney+

      • +1

        $120 August last year. It's not easy to juggle between services when you pay yearly :P

  • +3

    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.

  • Don't feed the ^%@^%@#$#$'s is the lesson here, they'll only divide and conquer.

  • Anyone knows how to download the paramount for ps4?

    • If it's not in the PlayStation store then it doesn't have it

  • +2

    Thanks a lot. it's working for me. due for renewal on saturday.

  • Nope doesn't work for me…. Oh well

    • Were you on a free trial or paid monthly?

  • Does anyone know when the offer expires? I haven't been able to find anything on this.

  • Will cop a trial when the Betoota Advocate's show launches

  • +1

    Thanks OP!

  • Has anyone managed to get the 50% offer while being on a free trial, or does it only work if you are an existing paying monthly member?

    • +2

      As per OPs instructions, I signed up for monthly free trial then converted to annual with promo code

      I followed the method OP has written in the deal post and it worked for me

      I guess ymmv

      • 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?

  • +1

    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!

    • Are you new to Paramount Plus? Because there is not much worth watching for a month, yet alone an entire year!

  • I have Paramount+ channel via PrimeVideo which is $9 / month or $90 / year.

    Looks like Id need to cancel via Prime, and sign up directly via Paramount+ ?

    • +1

      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.

  • Does anyone know how long this code is valid for?

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Worth it just to be able to watch MasterChef Australia without ads!

  • +1

    My account had already lapsed,and just paid it yearly with your code. It worked easily.

    Thanks OP!

  • 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?

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

      • 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."

        • Ohh I didn't get that message. Just logged in, account and ask me the choice of monthly or yearly.

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Already had an annual discounted subscription from last year. Added the discount code on the 25th, and got charged $44.99 yesterday when it was auto renewed.

  • Code did not work for me. If anyone who got it working is interested in shearing an account, please PM me.

  • This is no longer valid. Realy annoyed as I had it ready to go yesterday with accepted code but couldn't find my credit card! Today it does not work :(

  • Damn, was waiting for my Prime Paramount+ month to run out (already cancelled) so I could sign up directly with this deal :(

    • +1

      Lately these offers are coming often. Last time I cancelled with Optus subhub but couldn't get subscribed on time and a month or so later this offer came and was able to get it.
