Method:

How we verify

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

Beginner-friendlyNo logins, payments or coding needed. Low risk: paste the prompt and you should get something useful.

Outcome

Grok told the poster not to cancel Paramount+ through the website but to use the call or chat option, where they might be offered 30–50% off to stay. The poster did, and says it worked: they got 30% off their annual subscription.

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to.

Goal: Tell me the best way to cancel or downgrade a subscription so I see any retention offer before I leave.

Fill in before running:
- The service and my plan: [SERVICE + PLAN]
- What I pay and when it renews: [PRICE + DATE]
- Whether I'd stay for a discount, and how much: [TARGET]

Rules:
- Tell me which cancellation route (chat, phone, website) is most likely to show a retention offer, and say this isn't guaranteed.
- Give me a short script to use in the chat.
- Remind me to check the offer's terms (length, renewal price) before accepting.
- If I don't get an offer, tell me how to make sure the cancellation is confirmed in writing.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: The route to use, a short script, and what to check before accepting.

You'll know it worked when: I either get a discount I'm happy with or a written cancellation confirmation.

Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.
