If you aren't aware, Paramount+ has free 1 month codes 1-3 times a month. You can do multiple free month promos as well. If your account is active the codes do not work. But if you cancel your account then let it expire, you can use another new code to get another free month. So you can keep getting 1 month free then cancel, expire and rinse/repeat.
Paramount+ is free with Walmart+, which is also free with AMEX Platinum, which is also free for any active duty military.

When I search the thread I find "The promo code expires 3/31/23" in the OP but when I click on the link the post no longer shows that so it looks like the Staff edit took it out. Is there any question about when the code expires? When does Teen Wolf come out?
So it sounds like it has to be expired already, and if you've cancelled but have a little bit of time left in the billing period it will not work until the end of that period right?
Yes the account has to be expired and inactive.
If you still have an active account, cancelled or not, that is still accessible it won't work.
At least thats may experience.
Hmmm just tried on my cancelled but still active until Feb 13 account and it says "This promotional code is valid for new subscriptions only". Whomp whomp ☹️
Just got charged for a free month as well. I paid with a debit card, though. I've gotten several free months and I figure I'll eat the charge and use promo codes every month from now on and cancel. Disputing the charge with my bank will likely result in permanent cancellation from a decent platform. Oh well
Yeah just read this... I'm worried about what's going to happen to my sportsline sub. I don't really mind if I lose it, but soap operas without commercials is huge loss

JimR2075 answered this in the post just about yours (47) - it has to be expired.
As some others have said here about being billed, before your free trial is up. Just happed to me this morning. My next billing date was 3/4/23 I did a promo code then cancelled in Jan. they offered a free month when I went to cancel, I accepted. Today should have been the end of the extra month but thier system gave me 2 months per when my next payment will be hence the 3/4/23.
I used Privacy card with $3 cap, they tried to charge me today and payment failed. Went in and cancelled still have it till 3/4.
Something fishy going on with their system. I would recommend everyone be careful about what you use for payment.

Also got charged after the first free month (of the 2 that they said was supposed to be free after I tried to cancel). Would not suggest anyone take up the 2 month free offer because it feels like 1) it will auto charge you after 1, and not give you a refund no matter how nice you ask them to and 2) your account might be messed up like mine? I can no longer redeem a coupon and also when I cancel my account it tries to offer me 1 free month, it gives me an error when I accept it.
I think I might have to create a new account now to be able to continue using the free codes :/

Yeah, when I went to cancel last Sat they offered another month then errored out. So I just canceled. I'm not worried about my account right now still have it til 3/4 and will let it expire.
The messed up thing right now is my subscription is canceled and yet they have still tried to bill my card each day since up to yesterday. Probably will happen again today. Feel like reporting it, but don't want to mess with it.
You should be fine if you cancel before the next billing date. I would guess it is 3/2 instead of a date in Feb. because it's 30 days and February is a short month. Anyway you can always cancel several days early and it will still be accessible through that end date, I just did that and I'm able to. Also just a good idea to screenshot everything.
I talked to customer support. There is a glitch on the website and the free month for cancelling is effectively a coupon. if you have a coupon on your account (free month trial) it can't apply a 2nd one. I believe though it applies the 2nd coupon ON the billing date so your next billign cycle incorrectly shows 60 days even though it is not possible.
