Users who subscribe to the Paramount+ and Showtime bundle via Apple TV are experiencing billing issues when trying to pay for their subscription. This could indicate that the deal has expired.
Showtime + Paramount Plus Bundle Coming Soon, tvOS 15 for Apple TV, Locast's Latest Setback, and More!
The bundle launched on August 17, 2020 via the Apple TV app, notes MacRumors, and gave subscribers access to both Paramount+ and Showtime for $9.99 per month. The bundle was discontinued for new subscribers in February, prior to the launch of Paramount+, but existing subscribers have been able to enjoy it until now.
If someone wanted to continue using both streaming services without the bundle, they could end up paying a total of $20.98 per month. That’s nearly double the original deal.
Reports and complaints have been piling up on forums across the internet, from Reddit to Twitter to the MacRumors forums. Users started noticing it when they tried to renew and were unsuccessful, with their accounts listing the bundle as “expired.”
