WalMart+ has a struck a deal that all members will get access to Paramount+ Essential and have the ability to stream a wide array of content as a perk of membership. Ordinarily, a Paramount+ Essential plan would cost $59 a year so this is a great little add on and it’s now live!
Why should you care? If you recall, WalMart+ is a benefit of American Express Platinum and this is effectively a backend streaming credit if you don’t shop at WalMart and take advantage of the free membership via Amex Platinum. I’m a big fan of Yellowstone, amongst other Paramount+ shows, and will most definitely use this to recoup the fee I currently pay.
First make sure you’re signed up for WalMart+ with you Amex Platinum
