Peacock not linking

I just got internet and a flex box. Was told I get peacock premium for free. When I signed in on the flex box it told me I have to pay for the premium. So I went online to my peacock account and tried to link them with the link Xfinity button. This is what I get. I wish Comcast had better customer service! I would like this to be fixed so we can use the app to watch. I’ve been trying to get this resolved for a couple days now with no help. So now I’m here to see if I get the same run around or if I will actually get help fixing this problem. Thank you for your time.

I have been having the SAME problem. I have Xfinity internet and the flex box but I have the Peacock app on my tv so I don't use the box.  The last time I spoke to Xfinity customer service, on Monday, I was told that I only get the free version which is not true.  I was on the phone with him for about an hour and finally had to hang up because he didn't know what he was talking about.  This should be an easy thing linking the two accounts but for some reason it's the hardest thing in the world.  I even tried getting Peacock to delete my account so I can just start over but their useless too.  I wish SOMEONE would figure out what the problem is, this is really pissing me off.

@user_0f7b51​  The reason peacock is just as worthless as Comcast/Xfinity is because they own peacock. It should be easy but they don’t care. Piss poor customer service! That’s why they have such a bad rating and no one I’ve ever met likes them. I wish they had competition but they are allowed to be a monopoly. I’m glad you responded and mentioned trying to delete your peacock to start fresh. I was just going to do that myself today! Now I know it won’t be worth it. I have been trying to get peacock to help me but they just keep telling me to do the things I’m telling them isn’t working. I guess we wait to see if we’ll get any help.

So, the last time I spoke with an Xfinity rep, besides being told Premium wasn't free for me, which it is, he also had me get a comcast.net email which I didn't have, at the time that made since because it would help to link both accounts, but that still didn't work.  However, I just finished chatting with a Peacock representative who confirmed that I have 2 accounts, 1-Free one (under my personal email address) and 1-Premium (which is the comcast.net address), and she said she would merge the two so that I get the Premium Pass like I'm suppose to.  She said I will get an email when it's done.  Fingers crossed this finally works.  I'll keep you updated.

I gave up trying to solve this issue with both Peacock and Xfinity, it shouldn't be this complicated.  I plugged the flex box up and it looks like I have access through that but I shouldn't need to use that if I have the app on my tv, but I'm tired of the back and forth, cancelling, resigning up, I was even charged for 1 month of service by Peacock because someone at Xfinity told me it was ok to enter my credit card info and that I wouldn't be charged....they were wrong, and for some reason every time Peacock sent a password reset or verification to my Xfinity email it never came through and that's a big part of the problem because I was unable to verify my email in order to link my account.  I'm done with this, it's exhausting.

@user_0f7b51​ thank you for letting me know how it’s been going for you. I have been emailing peacock back and forth for some time now and still haven’t got anything resolved. They finally asked for my phone number so they can call me to work the problem out and when I gave it to them they never called and then just asked for the email I used. Again I gave it and then they said they’ll work on it and let me know. Yeah right! I’ll probably never hear from them again. When I signed up for Xfinity they automatically gave me an email but used my personal email when taking all my info to give me internet services. I was being told I had to sign in using my Xfinity ID and password, which is not correct cause peacock asks for an email NOT an ID. They don’t even know what they are doing or how to fix issues. Oh, also they offered me 3 months free! Are you kidding me!? I’m suppose to be getting it for free, not just for 3 months. They are doing that so after the 3 months they can charge me. I won’t do it. Terrible company!

They removed my image to show everyone the message I get. But they took it down and lied saying it had personal information! Such a lie! It did not contain personal information. Shame on Comcast/Xfinity for not wanting others to see what I’m trying to show. And lie about it!!
