Paramount Plus Code Not Working? TV and Promo Fixes

Paramount+ TV activation codes fail when they expire or are entered while signed in to another account. Promo codes need the right plan and account type.

TV activation codes

1. Open Paramount+ on the TV and choose to sign in on the web.
2. On a phone or computer, go to the activation address shown on the TV.
3. Sign in to your Paramount+ account.
4. Enter the code before it expires.

If it fails, close the app on the TV and reopen it for a new code. Make sure the phone or computer is signed in to the account that has the subscription.

Subscription through a partner

Signing in with a different email creates an account without the subscription.

Promo codes

• Many codes are for new subscribers only.
• Codes may apply to one plan, not both.
• Codes do not apply when you are billed through an app store or partner.
• Check the end date.

Gift cards

Redeem gift cards on the Paramount+ website, not on a TV app. Check the card was activated at purchase, and that it is for your country.

Fake activation pages

Sites that copy the activation page and ask for card details or a support call are scams. Paramount+ does not charge to activate a TV.

Still stuck

• Update the app on the TV.
• Restart the TV and router.
• Remove old devices from your account if you hit a device limit.

Showtime and add-ons

Plans that include premium add-ons may have their own offers. If a code mentions a specific plan, switch to that plan first or contact support to apply it.

Profiles and devices

Activating a TV links it to the whole account, not a single profile. Choose your profile after the TV signs in.
