How to Sign Up for Paramount Plus Through Walmart

The Walmart Plus Bundle Route

Paramount Plus is included free with a Walmart Plus membership, which costs $98 per year or $12.98 per month. When you pay for Walmart Plus, you get Paramount Plus at no extra charge — you do not buy them separately. This is the cheapest way to get Paramount Plus if you already shop at Walmart or plan to use the free shipping and other Walmart Plus benefits.

You sign up for Walmart Plus on Walmart's website or through the Walmart mobile app. Once your Walmart Plus membership is active, Paramount Plus is automatically included. You then log into Paramount Plus with the same email address you used for Walmart Plus, and your account is ready to watch.

The bundle does not give you a separate Paramount Plus bill or login — Paramount Plus straightforward recognizes that your email is tied to an active Walmart Plus account. If you cancel Walmart Plus, your Paramount Plus access stops at the same time.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Walmart Plus

Go to walmart.com or open the Walmart app on your phone. If you do not have a Walmart account, create one with your email address and a password. If you already have a Walmart account, sign in.

Look for "Walmart Plus" in the top navigation menu or search for it in the app. Click or tap "Join Walmart Plus." You will see the membership options: monthly ($12.98) or annual ($98). Choose which one you want and click "Continue."

Enter or confirm your payment method — a credit card, debit card, or PayPal account. Review the membership terms and click "Start Membership" or "Confirm Purchase." Walmart will charge your payment method when ready.

You will receive a confirmation email. Your Walmart Plus membership is now active, and Paramount Plus is included. You do not need to do anything else to set up Paramount Plus — it is already part of your account.

Logging Into Paramount Plus After Signing Up

Go to paramountplus.com or open the Paramount Plus app on your phone, tablet, or streaming device. Click "Sign In" or "Log In."

Enter the email address you used for your Walmart Plus account and your Paramount Plus password. If you do not have a Paramount Plus password yet, click "Forgot Password" or "Create Account" and follow the prompts. Paramount Plus will send a link to your email to set up your password.

Once you are logged in, your Paramount Plus account will show that it is linked to Walmart Plus. You can start watching when ready. You do not need to enter a payment method or billing information — Walmart Plus is already paying for it.

What Happens If You Already Have Paramount Plus

If you already pay for Paramount Plus directly (through Paramount, not Walmart), you can keep that account or switch to the Walmart Plus bundle. Switching means canceling your direct Paramount Plus subscription and signing up for Walmart Plus instead.

To switch, cancel your current Paramount Plus subscription first. Then sign up for Walmart Plus as described above. When you log into Paramount Plus with the email linked to your Walmart Plus account, your new membership will be active. You may lose any watch history or saved shows if you use a different email address, so use the same email if possible.

If you want to keep your current Paramount Plus account and add Walmart Plus for other reasons (free shipping, grocery discounts), you can do both. You will have two separate subscriptions and two separate bills, but that is allowed.

Walmart Plus Benefits Beyond Paramount Plus

Walmart Plus includes free next-day or same-day delivery on most items from Walmart.com, fuel discounts at Walmart gas stations, early access to online deals, and a scan-and-go feature in Walmart stores. These benefits come with the membership, so you are not paying extra for Paramount Plus — it is part of what you get.

If you use Walmart's delivery or fuel services regularly, the membership often pays for itself before you even watch Paramount Plus. If you do not use those services, Paramount Plus alone may not justify the cost, and you might prefer to buy Paramount Plus directly for $5.99 (with ads) or $11.99 (ad-free) per month.

Canceling Walmart Plus and Paramount Plus

If you want to stop your Walmart Plus membership, go to walmart.com, sign in, and go to your account settings. Look for "Walmart Plus" or "Membership" and click "Manage Membership" or "Cancel Membership." Walmart will ask you to confirm the cancellation. Your membership will end at the end of your current billing cycle (monthly or annual), and you will not be charged again.

When your Walmart Plus membership ends, your Paramount Plus access stops at the same time. You will not be able to watch Paramount Plus unless you sign up for it separately through Paramount. Any watch history or saved shows in your Paramount Plus account will remain, but you will not be able to access them until you pay for a new subscription.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you signed up for Walmart Plus but Paramount Plus is not working, make sure you are using the same email address for both accounts. If you used different emails, Paramount Plus will not recognize your Walmart Plus membership. Log out of Paramount Plus, then log back in with the email linked to your Walmart Plus account.

If Paramount Plus says your subscription is inactive or expired, check that your Walmart Plus membership is still active. Go to walmart.com, sign in, and look at your account settings to confirm your membership has not been canceled or lapsed. If your Walmart Plus payment failed, update your payment method in your account settings.

If you are still having trouble, contact Walmart customer service through walmart.com or the Walmart app, or contact Paramount Plus support through paramountplus.com. Both companies can check your account and fix the connection.
