This is wordy but I want to fully explain in the hope of helping someone else. I signed up for this promo on March 13th and had given up but today, April 24th, it finally linked. I had let my Paramount+ membership lapse, hoping this promo would eventually activate. But today I decided to give up and logged into Paramount+ to re-sign up on my own. Then, I thought, I'll log into Verizon and try one last time. When I clicked 'activate', I couldn't believe my eyes...I got a pop-up to click 'yes' to link accounts and it worked! Previously when I clicked 'activate', the pop up was to create a Paramount+ account and when I filled in my name, email, password the response was that I already had an account and to log in. So now I'm just wondering if that's what I needed to do all along...be logged in to both Verizon and Paramount+ at the same time. Otherwise, it's just coincidence that it worked today. Hoping this helps anyone else who is getting the same response. I also want to mention that as soon as it linked, I was billed the $99.99 fee and, my Paramount+ account updated to show I was enrolled through Verizon. I then logged into Netflix but that was not updated, so I went back to my Verizon account and found there was one more step to finish the process and Netflix now shows me signed up through Verizon also. Since I was just billed by Netflix a few days ago for my normal monthly subscription, I called them and they prorated the charge and giving me a refund. Huzzah!
