What is Paramount Plus Cancellation Policy
Paramount Plus operates on a strict "no refund" basis for partial months. When you cancel, your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you pay on the 1st and cancel on the 5th, you can still watch Survivor until the 30th. However, do not expect a pro-rated refund. Complaints on the Better Business Bureau often mention that free trials automatically convert to paid plans instantly if not cancelled exactly 24 hours before the trial ends. It is annoying, but that is the policy.
Before You Cancel Paramount Plus: What You Should Know
Are there cancellation fees?
No. There are no termination fees for cancelling a monthly or annual subscription.
Will my data be deleted?
Not immediately. Your viewing history and account details remain on their servers for a while, making it easy to restart. You have to request a full data deletion separately if you want your info gone.
Can I pause instead?
Sometimes. During the cancellation flow on the website, they might offer you a free month or a temporary pause to keep you around. It is worth clicking through just to see if they offer a bribe.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Paramount Plus Subscription?
If you followed the steps above and still see charges, you likely subscribed through a third-party bundle. This is the most common complaint.
- Amazon Prime Channels: If you watch inside the Prime Video app, you must cancel inside your Amazon account under "Memberships & Subscriptions."
- Roku: Go to my.roku.com to manage subscriptions purchased on your TV.
- Walmart+: If you get Paramount+ free with Walmart+, you manage it through your Walmart account settings.
- Incognito Mode: Sometimes the cancel button vanishes due to ad blockers. Try opening the site in an Incognito/Private window.
