Walmart+: 6 Months Of Paramount+ With Showtime Included

View Comments (30)

• Forgot to downgrade to Paramount+ Essential before 6 months was up and was charged $5.49 for the Showtime upgrade. Whoops!

• I see essential only, i.e. ads and no showtime. Was this time limited offer?

• There's no way to cancel. I wouldn't have signed up had I known that.

• Paid members only. Not included with w+ trial.

  • A lot of people are paid with Amex cards covering the fee.

• No Free Oil Change, Dental Cleaning, Eye Glasses ?!!
  Come On WM, Make the the minimum order $50 Now
  Amazon did theirs, is your turn now,
  Add free Housekeeping too,

  • Jokes aside. You must be part of the 1st world problem, entitlement culture. You'll fit in perfectly, if not already, in some US cities where WM employees are told NOT to stop shoplifters if they take items under a certain amount.

  • Walmart's in a unique situation, they use their brick & mortar store employees for some of the shipping. I've ordered stuff that was just put in a brown envelope at the local store and driven to my house by one of the employees, same as they do with grocery deliveries. That probably makes their shipping costs much lower on average than Amazon's.

    • I hate this and this is why I'm thinking of using Target when I need items shipped. Walmart thinks that they're being nice by delivering your items early and sometimes same day. But, when you mark items as 'gift', they will still sometimes leave your items at your door in a gray Walmart grocery bag. Aside from this being tacky, there are some items that I would want delivered in tamper-proof containers, especially since they partner w doordash for this svc...and I like items that haven't been touched by everyone in the local store. I want it from the warehouse and delivered in a company vehicle, not a local doordasher's car.

      • I also hate this because the driver probably expects a tip. I specifically chose shipping so I wouldn't have to tip. If it's routed through Doordash, the driver doesn't know that it was Walmart.com that decided to fulfill the order locally and not the customer.

      • It's the thought that counts or I guess we need to stop being lazy...

• And don't forget that Walmart+ is free if you have a personal Amex Platinum, so . . .

  • Business Gold / Plat too.

    • Not business plat

• Instacart+ also offers Peacock Premium. Nothing new for Walmart+.
  Walmart probably just copy whatever Instacart is doing

  • Peacock != Paramount. Peacock "Premium" also has ads so it's not really premium.

  • I think you have that backward, Instacart copied Walmart+ in offering a streaming service.

• "Direct link to offer" links to regular site with regular Essentials offer
  Not seeing the Showtime offer

  • Disregard this comment.

• Sucks for those with Showtime already.

  • Cancel it and take the free one instead?

    • I did and switched to essential. I think it has to expire first which will be next week. It harms my pockets because I only need showtime for a couple of months. No crying over spilled milk.

  • I don't think it harms people who already have showtime in any way whatsoever. Your life is exactly the same as it was before.

    Good things happening to other people is ok.

• Sharing this info from the FAQ on the auto renewal:

  Yes. Your Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscription will be auto-renewed after your offer period has ended. Your plan will auto-renew on a recurring basis of $6.49/month for monthly members & $64.99/year for annual members, plus applicable taxes. You'll be charged on the same payment method that's used for your Walmart+ membership & charged an initial, prorated fee to match your billing cycle with your Walmart+ billing cycle.
  You'll be able to opt out of auto-renewal at another time. Please check back later for details. Also, please note that if you opt out of auto-renewal, you'll immediately lose access to SHOWTIME.

  • That last part is hilarious. It's like they hate their customers.

    "You’ll be able to opt out of auto-renewal at another time."
    Translation: "I don't have time for this right now."

    "Please check back later for details."
    Translation: "Please stop bugging me"

    "Also, please note that if you opt out of auto-renewal, you’ll immediately lose access to SHOWTIME."
    Translation: "you now what, f**k you"
