Paramount+ VIP offer

Mr+Ripley — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 13:09:21 GMT

The Coupon King was on This Morning on ITV today and he said if you go to your MySky app VIP section, you'll see an offer for a free subscription to Paramount+. It may be for 3, 6, or 12 months. He didn't say anything about having Sky Cinema, so it must be a different offer. So I immediately had a look but there wasn't any offer to be seen.

The thing is, I do currently have Sky Cinema which includes P+ for free, but I recently cancelled SC & only have it for another 5 days. Would this be why I'm not seeing the VIP offer & if so, what are the chances I'll be given the VIP offer when my SC subscription ends on the 22nd of February?

Does anyone who doesn't have SC see the VIP offer?

The system currently says that you have Paramount+, so it's likely that's why you don't see it. It also could be a deal for new customers to Paramount+ who have not had Sky Cinema during the Paramount+ offer.

I found this article: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/33402926/sky-customers-unlock-free-access-to-hollywood-movies/

I think it's Paramount+ with ads for 3, 6 or 12 months. One comment says "12 months with ads here". So I think all customers regardless if they have the Sky Cinema pack can access Paramount+ for a limited time.

Another comment says: "It says it’s for VIP Diamond which are those who have been with Sky 15+ years", so if you've been with Sky less than 15 years, you may not see it.

The comments are from the original article on UKHotDeals: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/free-one-year-of-paramount-plus-with-a-standard-plan-4533465

@Anonymous Thanks for the quick reply & information. I have been with Sky for more than 15 years, so that's not stopping me from seeing the deal. I guess it is most likely because I currently have Sky Cinema. It will be annoying if I can't get the deal after the 22nd though.

@Mr+Ripley

I don't have SC and I do have an offer for P+ (mine is for 6 months and for the basic tier).

I have a sub for P+ directly already, not connected to Sky.

Also, the current Sky VIP deal is for new Paramount + customers only.

Obviously the way to get around that is to use a different email address to create a new Paramount + account but anyone who has used one of the previous free trials via Sky VIP, the voucher code won't work against the same paramount + account.

So, I may or may not get the offer, but if I do I will need to use a different email address which may or may not work, but if it does it will only be for the basic package, which means ads & presumably no UHD option, so do I choose the offer & get the basic tier for free, or pay for the higher tier with no ads & UHD content which will mean the VIP offer is of no use to me anyway. 🤔

So glad I posted. 😀

Yeah - always a catch with those pesky T&Cs isn't there.

@Mr+Ripley I don't have Sky Cinema and see the offer for a year's subscription (Diamond) with ads the thing is I've still got 6 months left from last year's Sky VIP offer ParamountPlus Standard no ads probably the new offer will expire before I've got time to redeem it.

@Mr+Ripley

I've had a previous 6 month trial of P+,

that was with Paramout directly and a year or so ago (also using a different email address). The Sky VIP offer I can see now if the first time I've had that from Sky.
