Paramount Plus is included free with Walmart Plus, but you log in through Paramount's website or app, not through Walmart
Walmart Plus members get Paramount Plus at no extra cost, but the login process is separate. You don't sign in through Walmart's app or website. Instead, you go directly to Paramount Plus—either the website or the mobile app—and create or use an existing Paramount account. Walmart's role is to cover the subscription fee; Paramount handles the actual login and streaming.
This matters because many people expect a unified login across both services. That's not how it works. Your Walmart Plus membership straightforward removes the monthly charge from your Paramount account. The two accounts are linked behind the scenes, but you interact with Paramount directly when you want to watch.
Key Takeaways
- Go to paramountplus.com or open the Paramount Plus app to log in; do not try to log in through Walmart's website or app.
- You need a Paramount account (separate from your Walmart account) to watch, even though Walmart Plus covers the cost.
- When you create your Paramount account, use the same email address linked to your Walmart Plus membership so the services recognize each other.
- After logging into Paramount, your Walmart Plus benefit should show as active; if it doesn't, contact Paramount support to verify the link.
Creating a Paramount Plus account with your Walmart Plus email
Start by visiting paramountplus.com or downloading the Paramount Plus app from your phone's app store. On the login page, look for a "Sign Up" or "Create Account" button. You'll be asked for an email address, password, and a few other details. Use the same email address you registered with Walmart Plus. This is the critical step—Paramount uses your email to match your account with your Walmart Plus membership.
After you fill in your information and create the account, Paramount will send you a confirmation email. Click the link in that email to verify your address. Once that's done, your account is active and ready to link with Walmart Plus.
Linking your Paramount account to Walmart Plus
The linking usually happens automatically once you've created your Paramount account with the correct email. Log into your Paramount account and go to your account settings or subscription page. You should see a message saying your Paramount Plus subscription is covered by Walmart Plus, or you may see "Included with Walmart Plus" displayed somewhere on the page.
If you don't see this message within a few minutes, wait a bit longer—the systems sometimes take time to sync. If it still doesn't show after an hour, sign out and sign back in. If the link still isn't there, you may need to contact Paramount support to verify that your Walmart Plus membership is active and properly connected to that email address.
Logging in on different devices
Once your Paramount account is set up and linked, you can log in on any device that has the Paramount Plus app or a web browser. On phones and tablets, read the Paramount Plus app, open it, and enter your email and password. On a TV, you can use a smart TV app (if your TV supports it), a streaming device like Roku or Fire Stick, or a gaming console if Paramount Plus is available there.
The login credentials are the same across all devices—your email and the password you created. You don't need to do anything special to set up Paramount Plus on each device; once you're logged in, your Walmart Plus benefit travels with your account.
What to do if your Walmart Plus benefit doesn't show up
If you log into Paramount Plus but don't see that your subscription is covered by Walmart Plus, first check that you used the correct email address—the one attached to your Walmart Plus account. If you used a different email, you may need to create a new Paramount account with the right one.
If the email is correct and the benefit still isn't showing, verify that your Walmart Plus membership is currently active. Log into your Walmart account and check your membership status. If Walmart Plus is active, wait a few hours for the systems to sync, then try logging out of Paramount and logging back in. If the problem persists after that, contact Paramount Plus support directly through their help center or chat feature and provide them with the email address on your Walmart Plus account. They can manually verify the connection.
Resetting your Paramount Plus password
If you forget your Paramount password, go to paramountplus.com and click "Sign In." On the login page, look for a "Forgot Password?" link. Click it and enter the email address you used to create your Paramount account. Paramount will send you a password reset link via email. Click that link, create a new password, and you'll be able to log in again.
Make sure you're resetting the password for your Paramount account, not your Walmart account. The two are separate, and resetting one won't affect the other.
Using Paramount Plus on multiple profiles
Paramount Plus allows you to create multiple viewing profiles within a single account, similar to Netflix. After you log in, you can add profiles for family members or friends. Each profile can have its own watch history and recommendations, but they all share the same Paramount account and the same Walmart Plus benefit. You don't need separate Paramount accounts or separate Walmart Plus memberships for each person watching.
To add a profile, go to your account settings within Paramount Plus and look for a "Profiles" or "Add Profile" option. You can create up to four profiles per account, depending on your subscription tier.
