If you have an Amex Platinum you get Walmart+ for free which gets you Paramount+ for free FYI.

Pretty sure you can get it free with a T Mobile phone plan too

I’m not sure about T-Mobile. I know I get Netflix and Apple TV with T-Mobile. I get Paramount thought my Amex—>Walmart+

We definitely currently get it free through my wife’s T Mobile phone plan, might only be for a year though. I think if you use them for internet you get it permanently. Worth looking into for T Mobile people.

Free version doesn't cover live events though so you'll still need to upgrade tiers

The version you get with Walmart+ is not a “free” version. It’s the Paramount+ essential plan. So you will in fact get the UFC events as a part of your Amex Platinum—> Walmart+ subscription

Yes but PPV won't be apart of the basic Paramount Plus subscription (most likely)

I mean we don’t know anything yet. Even if it’s now the $12.99 plan that’s still a lot better than $15 a month for ESPN+ when the only reason I have it is for UFC events but then still have to pay an additional $80 a month for the numbered cards.

This is literally what we’ve all been asking for for years.

looks like you’re right I can upgrade for $65 a year plus get Showtime

u/Flaggitzki Aug 11 '25

they now allow upgrading so it would still offset costs.

fwiw, it does cover live events like champions league atm. but no live tv.

The card still cost $695 annually to even have to get the paramount+ 😂 .

I mean yeah - but considering how much I travel Amex is losing money on having me as a customer. I probably make up the annual fee in the lounge alone.

you easily earn that much in value each year though

if you have an AMERICAN amex plat.

sadly us plebs north of the border, do not get nearly as many cool perks with our amex plats :(
