Why am I billed by Amazon not Paramount+?

You may have subscribed to Paramount+ as an add-on channel through Amazon Prime Video Channels. In that case Amazon handles the billing and the charge appears as an Amazon charge, not Paramount+. Go to amazon.co.uk → Account → Memberships & Subscriptions to manage it.

Can I get a free trial refund on Paramount+?

If you signed up for a free trial and forgot to cancel, contact Paramount+ customer support — they will often refund the first month's charge as a goodwill gesture, particularly if you haven't used the service. Contact them before disputing with your bank as it's usually faster.

What is PARAMOUNT+ on my bank statement?

Q: What is Paramount+ on my bank statement?

Paramount+ is a streaming service from Paramount Global featuring content from CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and Paramount film studios. Plans are Essential (£6.99/month, with adverts) and Premium (£9.99/month, ad-free).

Q: How do I cancel Paramount+?

This is your Paramount+ streaming subscription — covering CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and Paramount films.

Paramount+ — Streaming subscription

✓ Legitimate charge

PARAMOUNT+ on your bank statement is your Paramount Plus streaming subscription. Paramount+ is the streaming platform from Paramount Global, offering content from a wide range of its brands: CBS dramas and reality shows, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and theatrical releases from Paramount Pictures.

There are two subscription tiers. Essential costs £6.99/month and includes adverts during some content. Premium costs £9.99/month and is fully ad-free, with the addition of some live TV and sporting content. Both tiers give access to the same main catalogue.

Importantly, some UK subscribers signed up to Paramount+ through Amazon Prime Video Channels or Apple TV Channels, where it was offered as an add-on. In those cases, billing is handled by Amazon or Apple — so the charge on your statement may appear under their name rather than Paramount+, and you'll need to cancel through those platforms.
