November 25 2024, Editor Note: This is a limited-time offer — Paramount usually runs these only a few times per year — so if you're interested sign up before it expires on Wednesday, December 4.
Black Friday sales season is underway. We're seeing major retailers rolling out discounts to cater to early holiday shoppers ahead of Thanksgiving. We're seeing Black Friday deals from Amazon, Costco, Walmart and Target begin earlier than ever this year and you should expect to see offers roll out all the way until Cyber Monday (and beyond.)
A Kiplinger favorite, Paramount Plus, has launched its newest deal, offering new and former users a choice of subscriptions for just $2.99 per month, for the first two months.
Streaming services are getting in on the holiday promotions again this year. Deals and discounts are pretty rare in this space. Services like Disney, Peacock and other entertainment streamers usually only have sales two or three times a year., so when they arrive it's cause for celebration.

On the fence about whether a subscription is worth it? With this deal, you can try two months of Paramount Plus for just $2.99 (either the Essential Plan or Paramount Plus with SHOWTIME), long enough to decide if what's on offer is right for you. So, if you've been looking for an alternative streaming service, now's a great time to test out Paramount Plus for a fraction of its original cost. And if you decide it's not a good fit for you, you can cancel the service at any time.

Paramount Plus Essential plan
With a Paramount Plus Essential account, you'll have access to thousands of TV shows from Justin Hartley in Tracker to Kathy Bates as Matlock, new movies like IF and A Quiet Place, and some live sports including NFL on CBS and UEFA Champions League. With this subscription, however, you won't have access to your local live CBS station, so you'll have to forgo watching any CBS shows when they air live.
Paramount Plus with Showtime plan
With the Paramount Plus with SHOWTIME plan, you'll not only have access to popular SHOWTIME original titles like Yellowjackets, Dexter: New Blood and Fellow Travelers but you'll also be able to access your local CBS station, enjoy ad-free viewing and download movies and TV to watch on-the-go, something you're not able to do with a Paramount Plus Essential subscription.
