Redeem guide

How to Redeem a Showtime Gift Card

Q: How do I redeem a Showtime gift card?

Go to paramountplus.com/redeem, sign in to or create a Paramount+ account, and enter your gift card PIN. Select Redeem , then choose the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan so the balance applies as credit toward that subscription. The old showtime.com redemption page no longer works.

Q: Can I still redeem a Showtime gift card at showtime.com?

No. The standalone Showtime streaming service was discontinued on April 30, 2024, and showtime.com no longer accepts gift card codes. Showtime gift cards now redeem only at paramountplus.com/redeem toward a Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan.

Q: Where do I enter my Showtime gift card PIN?

On the web at paramountplus.com/redeem, or in the Paramount+ app under your Account menu in the Gift Cards section. Some smart-TV and streaming-device apps don’t show a gift card field — if yours doesn’t, redeem on the web and the credit syncs to every device on the account.

Q: Why isn't my Showtime gift card code working?

The usual causes are trying to redeem at the retired showtime.com page, a Paramount+ account billed through a third party such as Amazon, Apple, or Roku, a country mismatch between the card and the account, an already-redeemed PIN, or a typo. The troubleshooting section above has the fix for each.

Q: Can I use a Showtime gift card from another country?

No. Showtime and Paramount+ gift cards are country-specific, and Paramount+ checks the card’s country against your account’s country when you redeem. Use a card issued for the same country your Paramount+ account is registered to.

Q: Do Showtime gift cards expire?

The gift card itself does not carry an expiration date, but it can only be applied to a Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan billed directly by Paramount+. If you hold an older Showtime balance that the redeem page won’t accept, contact Paramount+ / Showtime Customer Care to convert it to Paramount+ credit.

Showtime now redeems through Paramount+ — here is the current, working flow

The standalone Showtime service closed in 2024. Your Showtime gift card now redeems at paramountplus.com/redeem toward a Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan. The steps below cover the web and app flows and the errors to watch for.

Quick Answer: Redeeming Your Showtime Gift Card

To redeem a Showtime gift card today, go to paramountplus.com/redeem, sign in to or create a Paramount+ account, and enter your gift card PIN. Showtime merged into Paramount+ in 2024, so the balance applies as account credit toward a Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan and starts streaming immediately. The old showtime.com redemption page no longer accepts codes.

Where to Redeem Your Showtime Gift Card Now

Since the standalone Showtime streaming service was discontinued on April 30, 2024, redemption runs entirely through Paramount+. Enter the gift card PIN at paramountplus.com/redeem on the web, or through the Paramount+ app — either way the balance lands as credit on your Paramount+ account and funds a Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscription until it runs out.

On the Web (paramountplus.com/redeem)

The web flow is the primary and shortest path, and it works in any browser on a phone, tablet, or computer.

Go to paramountplus.com/redeem and sign in to your Paramount+ account, or create one if you are new.
Enter your gift card PIN exactly as it was delivered, then select Redeem.
Choose or confirm the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan so the credit applies to a subscription that includes Showtime programming.
Confirm to start your subscription — no payment card is required while the gift card credit covers the plan.

Make sure your Paramount+ account country matches the country the card was issued for; gift cards are country-specific and a mismatch is rejected at redemption.

In the Paramount+ App (phone, tablet, or TV)

Use the app flow when you are already signed in to Paramount+ on a device and would rather not switch to a browser.

Open the Paramount+ app and sign in to the account you want the credit on.
Open your profile or Account menu and select Gift Cards (labelled Redeem Gift Card on some devices).
Enter the gift card PIN and confirm to apply the balance.
Open Account → Subscription & Billing to confirm the credit is set to fund your renewals.

Some streaming-device and smart-TV apps do not show a gift card field; if yours doesn’t, redeem on the web at paramountplus.com/redeem and the credit will sync to every device signed in to the same account.

What a Showtime Gift Card Gets You Today

Redeemed through Paramount+, the balance buys a Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscription — the plan that folds the former Showtime catalog (Dexter, Billions, Yellowjackets, The Chi, and Showtime films) into Paramount+ alongside CBS, Paramount movies, and live sports. The credit is applied to your account and automatically funds each renewal until the balance is used up, at which point you can add a payment method to continue.

The card is not redeemable for cash, and it cannot be used as a standalone Showtime subscription anymore because that product no longer exists. It also will not pay for a Paramount+ plan that is billed through a third-party app store or TV provider — see the troubleshooting below.

Use it for: a Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan billed directly by Paramount+, including renewals funded from the remaining credit.
Best match: someone who wants Showtime series and films without putting a payment card on file, paid for up front by gift card.

Why Your Showtime Gift Card Code Isn’t Working

Most Showtime redemption problems trace back to the 2024 move to Paramount+ or to how the account is billed. Match your situation below before contacting support.

You’re trying to redeem at showtime.com

The standalone Showtime streaming service shut down on April 30, 2024, and showtime.com no longer accepts gift card codes. Redeem at paramountplus.com/redeem instead — that is the only working flow now, and it applies the balance to a Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan.

Your Paramount+ account is billed through a third party

Gift cards only apply to a Paramount+ subscription billed directly by Paramount+. If you subscribed through Amazon, Apple, Roku, Google Play, Sky, or a cable, satellite, or telco provider, the redeem page will refuse the credit. Start or move to a Paramount+ account billed directly by Paramount+, then redeem the PIN there.

Wrong country for the card

Showtime and Paramount+ gift cards are issued for a specific country, and Paramount+ checks the card’s country against your account’s country at redemption. A card bought for one country will not redeem on an account registered to another. Use a card that matches your account’s country.

“This code has already been redeemed” or the PIN is invalid

An already-redeemed message means the PIN was entered successfully somewhere before; an invalid message is almost always a typo or trailing whitespace. Re-enter the PIN exactly as delivered, ideally pasted straight from your MyGiftCardSupply email. If you bought from MyGiftCardSupply and have not redeemed it, contact MyGiftCardSupply support with your order number for a replacement.

You have an older Showtime balance that wasn’t converted

When Showtime closed, Paramount replaced Showtime gift cards with Paramount+ gift cards of equal value, but some legacy balances were not auto-converted. If you hold an old Showtime card that the Paramount+ redeem page won’t accept, contact Paramount+ / Showtime Customer Care to have the remaining balance applied as credit when you subscribe to Paramount+ with SHOWTIME.

Where to Buy a Showtime Gift Card Online

If you used your balance and want to keep streaming, or you landed here while planning a gift, a Showtime gift card is the simplest way to fund a Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan without saving a payment card. The code arrives by email, so you can redeem it at paramountplus.com/redeem the same day you buy.

Buy a Showtime gift card online from MyGiftCardSupply — delivered by email in minutes and redeemable toward Paramount+ with SHOWTIME. Pick the country that matches your Paramount+ account so the code redeems on the first try.
