Paramount Plus normally runs $12 a month for its commercial-free (and live-CBS-included) offering, while its Essential plan costs $6 a month. Prepaying for a year of either can effectively net you two months free, with the ad-free version running $120 for the year (a $24 savings) and the ad-supported tier running $60 (a $12 savings). 

A note: The option to prepay for a year and save isn’t exclusive to Paramount Plus — streaming services such as Max and Hulu also offer discounts if you pay annually.

Fans of Showtime take note, Paramount Plus with Showtime is currently going for $60 a year instead of the usual $120 for an annual subscription. To be eligible, you must be a new or former subscriber and sign up before the deal expires on July 14. This offer is applicable to the first full year of the service, which means you’ll need to cancel before the 12 months is over if you don’t want to be charged full price for the following year. You can redeem the offer at this link

The normal price for Paramount Plus with Showtime is $12 for the monthly plan, or $120 per year. Compared to the Paramount Plus ad-supported Essential plan, that’s $6 more per month (or $60 more per year). That’s a big difference, but it’s worth noting that along with Showtime, you’ll get live TV from your local CBS station. You’ll also be able to download movies and TV shows and limit the amount of commercials that play on live TV and on a handful of shows. 

This premium deal is pinged to the release of season 6 of Showtime’s hit series The Chi. Subscribers to Paramount Plus with Showtime will also be able to access programs like Yellowjackets, Billions, Dexter and The Curse, starring Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder. For more information on the streaming service, check out our review.

Paramount Plus provides a 25% student discount on its $6 per month Essential Plan that is good for four years, regardless of whether you graduate early. The offer cannot be applied to its Premium Plan or for subscribers who were grandfathered in on the now-discontinued Limited Commercials plan.

The catch? You must be enrolled in an accredited, Title IV higher education institution. To sign up, Paramount Plus will verify your student credentials through a third party. The discount is good for eligible students with new accounts. Those with existing Premium Plan subscriptions have the option to cancel and switch to the Essential plan to receive the special deal.

Beyond getting Hulu in the Verizon bundle, there are a few ways to save on Disney’s other streaming service. 

Students will want to check out Spotify’s Premium Student offer which combines Spotify Premium, Hulu’s ad-supported plan. All told, the bundle would save $13 a month. You need to be a student above the age of 18 who is enrolled at a US Title IV-accredited college or university to qualify, and Spotify works with a third party called SheerID to verify that you’re eligible. 

You will need to verify eligibility every 12 months, with the offer available for a total of four years. Full details can be found at Spotify’s site.
