Anybody Have a Solution for: Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account.

I recently moved and had new service activated with a new Xfinity account number. Now I cannot activate the Peacock Premium which is part of my Diamond Status as well as Gig Internet Service. I had this working on the old account.... How do we unlink the old account and link the new account??

I get the following message when trying to activate my Peacock Subscription.

Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account.

I tried chatting and calling customer service and they are unable to help, close my tickets, etc.

Hello @John3333 we're here to help get this working! To confirm, are you no longer able to access Peacock Premium with the previous login information you used prior to your move?

Correct. My peacock account no longer has the premium service associated with it and it wants me to subscribe. When I try to activate again, I receive the error message:

Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account.

I am using the same Xfinity login which is associated with my new account now. Support had me unlink my old account from my login while trying to troubleshoot this, but with no help.

I have gone in circles on this with multiple support people at Xfinity and Peacock....this shouldn't be so hard.

As a public update to all, after 2+ weeks, conversation moved to DM, step by step screen shots provided to duplicate the issues, multiple tickets opened, multiple failed promises for call backs, nothing has been resolved.

Still hoping it eventually gets resolved, as there is clearly an internal system issue with Xfinity and/or Peacock. 

Will update if this ever gets resolved.

Same problem. I suddenly lost Peacock Premium access as a Gigabit Xfinity customer in early March 2024. Peacock customer support said problem was with Xfinity canceling my Peacock Premium subscription. Countless empty promises to resolve this problem from Xfinity representatives by phone and chat; no resolution despite their escalations. I have done all the steps everyone else has tried: resets, different emails, etc. Xfinity is impossible to deal with, horrific customer support.

Public update to all: don’t waste your time with Xfinity or Peacock trying to fix your Peacock Premium access. Calling, chatting, forum messages, and direct messages are futile. They’ll ask you to reactivate or re-redeem your Peacock Premium offer using different emails, and once that fails, they’ll create tickets to escalate the problem with false assurances of follow-up that will never happen. No one that you contact has the capability to fix your Peacock Premium access, it’s dead.

4/24/24 update to all: Peacock Premium access finally restored, albeit in a round about way. Through direct messages, Xfinity created ticket on 4/14/24. Xfinity technical support called me on 4/24/24 and provided 24 month promo code for Peacock Premium access. Promo code redeemed on Peacock website, but had to provide credit card info. Apparently, this is the only way to restore Peacock Premium access per Xfinity technical support.🤷🏿‍♂️

Pretty lame. I've been following these threads and it doesn't look promising.

Xfinity Assistance is the worst chatbot customer service I've ever experienced. It's impossible to connect with an agent.

I am having the same problem as everyone else. When I try to activate my peacock services, I get a "Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account. Here’s How to Find It"

Please help me actually use the Peacock benefit before I cancel XFinity entirely...

I have the same Peacock activation problem and exactly the same support experience as the other posters. I do not see that anyone in Xfinity tech support has a clue how to resolve this issue. I, too, have lost my Peacock Premium Plus access. I have Peacock Premium that a chat agent conned me into subscribing to and was told to use my Xfinity Id as "payment"; nope! Was charged $19.99 + tax; chat agent credited me that amount (thanks, I guess). I see no way to get Peacock Premium Plus (no Ads) back without paying to upgrade my account. 

Does any Xfinity employee monitoring this forum have an answer?

I'm happy to say I think I resolved my issue.

I had the same problem where I moved and transferred my services to a new address. One day, I tried to log in to Peacock and it said I had no subscription. I tried activating through all the different prompts but soon as I logged into my account I got the error "Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account."

I suspected this error message was an error because it seems like what is actually happening is the other way around. Your Peacock account is linked to another Xfinity account. I didn't have a long history or large queue so I decided to request a deletion of my account here: https://www.peacocktv.com/help/article/how-do-i-delete-my-account which had a link to here https://www.nbcuniversal.com/privacy?brandA=Peacock&intake=Peacock#accordionheader5 which had a link to this form https://privacyportal.onetrust.com/webform/17e5cb00-ad90-47f5-a58d-77597d9d2c16/2aa79e13-e7d2-4d45-b928-7df9a72bec32

After about a week, I checked back by trying to log in and it seemed the account was successfully deleted. After that, I clicked on the Xfinity banner to activate Peacock and created a new account with the same email and now everything seems to be working.

Now, I don't know if this is going to work for everyone and if you do have a lot of information you'd rather not part with on your account, you might be able to create a new account without deleting your old account. I don't know if deleting the account is essential to the process and if it removed some kind of link between the 2 accounts. I didn't really have much data in my account so I didn't really care if I lost all my Peacock data.

One other note is that the form says you can exercise your rights if you live in "California, Utah, Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut" but it does not ask for your address.

I have this exact same problem but cannot see the DM icon on the top right of this page.  Please assist with changing the link of my old address/account prior to my move to the new account, post move for Peacock Premium to once again function on my registered Peacock email address.

jrhider When transferring services to a new address it is not normal for any of your subscription information to be impacted for any services. Have you attempted to go back to customer.xfinity.com/activate-peacock and log in to your account using your primary Xfinity ID and password?

I too, like the many, many users who have posted, had the issue of not being able to activate Peacock. I signed up for it the offer, followed the instructions exactly as Xfinity said, and nothing worked. I contacted Xfinity multiple times, tickets were opened, nothing resolved. I tried every so often over a period of many months. 

On July 9, 2024, I attempted again. I saw that the many people with this problem posted here, and a Xfinity rep would always respond, 'DM me'. So, instead of wasting more time, posting and waiting for the inevitable 'DM me' response, I direct messaged them without posting (which apparently, you aren't supposed to do!). The rep had me try many things, none worked. An escalation was made, then maybe another. I don't know at this point since nothing worked. As of today, Aug 13, 2024, my ticket with Xfinity has not been resolved. The last message I got around Aug 1 was: "I have reached out to our Peacock team and asked them to look into this with us. We will be in touch."

At the same time, when I suspected I'd get nowhere with Xfinity, I contacted Peacock customer service, also on July 9, 2024. Communication was via emails. After a couple of emails back and forth with Peacock, on July 15, 2024, they sent me a redemption code, where I selected the correct plan, input the code, and voila! I was signed up for Peacock for $0.

So, for those having this same issue, try reaching out to Peacock customer service directly.

For info - I have Xfinity diamond internet service, no TV, just internet with no Xfinity streaming box/device (what is it, Flex now?). I use my smart TV to stream content.

Jesus seems like trying to do the stream saver was a bad idea. Just signed up 45 minutes ago and it’s screwed.

Same issue. Wonder if the "Xfinity account" the error references is the one belonging to the previous resident or something...

I am having this issue after moving as well. They transferred my service and gave me a new account number and now I can no longer use or redeem my peacock subscription.
