How to watch Paramount Plus for $1
U.S. viewers are in luck — there’s a savvy way to get Paramount Plus for just $1 (usually $8.99).
Walmart+ is offering a 30-day trial for $1, which includes your choice of a subscription to either Paramount+ or Peacock.
After the trial, Walmart Plus will cost you $12.95 a month (or $98 for the annual plan). While it’s still good value, you can always just choose to cancel if you no longer need the perks.
A word of warning: You’ll need a strong VPNs (not a cheap/free one). We tested the likes of NordVPN (try risk-free), Surfshark VPN (free trial) and Express VPN – all do the trick.
