Paramount+ will not treat this gift card as "cash" and will not allow you to use any coupons or promotions along with the gift card usage. It is a much better deal to just sign up for Paramount+ with a promotion code rather than buying this card even when it is on sale. I attempted to sign up for Paramount+ during a promotional offer (25% off annual). They showed me the promotional rate ($74.99 instead of $99.99) during sign up and then proceeded to charge the full $99.99 amount to the gift card anyway. Upon requesting a refund, they state "Unfortunately, per our gift card Terms & Conditions (viacomcbs.legal/us/en/pplus/sub-terms), we cannot issue any refunds for full or partial balances on gift cards." Here are the words they used about combining the gift card with a promo code: "Unfortunately, gift cards cannot be combined with the 25% coupon you redeemed, hence the charge was taken from the gift card alone. However, you can still enjoy the 25% discount coupon you redeemed and it will take effect on your next renewal date which is on January 17, 2023." I do not believe that the 25% off coupon will still be applied to my account a year later. I also have no faith that they will charge me the correct amount.

I purchased this gift card for myself. Why, you ask? Because I got the bright idea that if I had a gift card added to my Paramount+ account, I wouldn’t have to wonder if they charged my yearly fee to my bank account yet or not, then possibly accidentally spend it & get an overdraft fee, lol. Well, it worked. So if you want to take full control of your transactions like that, maybe just for your own peace of mind, you should buy gift cards like this. I do this with ALL my streaming services now.

I like the Paramount network I purchase it and showtime with no adds for a one year price of $130 plus tax so $141ish. The gift cards are perfect and with the Best Buy 15% discount the deal can’t be beat. In total I buy $150 worth of gift cards for $127.50 and also get 6% back in rewards with Elite+. With the rewards counted, the deal is only $120 for $150 or about 20% off. So the one year is only $113ish out the door cost after discounts for CBS/Paramount+ and Showtime. I am a Star Trek fan! I do like the $30 for one full year of Showtime. With the discount it was only $2 more a month.

I love that I can purchase a gift card to use for my annual plan. I do not like keeping my debit card on file, so having these to add to my account is perfect.

I like that I could obtain this digitally and gift it to someone. Best buy.com made this easy and I'm grateful!
