How to get a Paramount Plus free trial in Australia

You can sign up for a free trial of Paramount Plus in a few ways, including via the mobile or smart TV app. But given you'll have to provide information like your email address and card details, we'd consider it a laptop job. If that's your method of choice, head to the Australian Paramount Plus website in your preferred web browser.

On the Paramount Plus landing page, click the big blue "SIGN UP FOR PARAMOUNT+ button.

On the next page, you'll be asked to enter your full name, email address and password, before you're shown the plans. Save yourself the trouble and compare the Paramount Plus plans further down this page before entering your personal details. 

Once you've decided if one of the plans below is for you, go ahead and create your account by entering your full name, email address and password. To get the free trial, you can't use an email address already associated with Paramount Plus. 

Note: Be sure to uncheck the box under the password field if you don't want Paramount emailing you about new releases and offers. 

Click the big blue 'Agree and Continue' button

Next up, you'll be given the option to choose between the three plans detailed below. Once you've selected your plan, you'll also be asked if you'd like to subscribe to a monthly plan or an annual plan. Every plan has an annual equivalent that saves you some money in the long run. Here's how much each annual plan costs and what it will save you: 

• Paramount Plus Basic (With Ads): $61.99 per year (Save 26%)
• Paramount Plus Standard: $97.99 per year (Save 25%)
• Paramount Plus Premium: $124.99 per year (Save 25%)

The seven-day free trial still applies for annual plans but if you choose to take the discount, you'll be charged the full year upfront once your trial is up. So be mindful about what you choose and when your trial ends. 

Next, it's time to enter your payment details. Enter your Name, Address, City, State, Postcode, Credit Card Number, Expiry Month/Year and CVV (the three digit code on the back of your card.) 

Before you proceed, now is the time to use a promotional code if you've got one. On the right-hand side of the screen, under 'Trial Period,' there is a dropdown. Click that and enter your code if you've got one. The discount should be displayed immediately after that. 

Note: Before you move forward, take note of the First Payment Date and First Payment amount. If you're planning on taking advantage of the free trial experience, you must cancel your account before the First Payment Date, otherwise, you'll be charged for your first month or year (depending on what you chose earlier.)

If you're happy with that, click 'Agree and Subscribe.'

If you've followed these steps, your seven-day free trial of Paramount Plus has begun. Remember to cancel a week from now, before the first payment date, if you don't want to pay anything. Otherwise, enjoy the selection of Survivor, South Park and Star Trek shows on offer.
