How to Get Walmart Plus and Paramount Plus Free for 30 Days

You don't have to wait for Black Friday to get one of the best streaming deals around. Alongside Walmart's Black Friday deals, Walmart+ members can sign up for Paramount Plus for free.

Offering free shipping, free grocery delivery, and quite possibly the easiest return policy we've ever seen, Walmart Plus is a solid alternative to Amazon Prime for shoppers seeking savings.

The membership got even better after the retailer partnered with Paramount to give Walmart Plus members a free subscription to Paramount Plus. That's not a free trial. That's a full subscription to the popular streaming service for as long as you remain a Walmart Plus member.
