Peacock Premium Activation Email - 2025

Hi!

Background: We have Peacock Premium, have had it since it landed. As Diamond Level Reward customers we should have it included w/o cost. As Gig speed customers we should have had it included w/o cost for 2 years. There was supposed to be an activation banner (in the Rewards Section of our account) so we could redeem the Diamond Level coverage. That banner was missing for a long time & when it appeared it was non-functional. No redemption ever posted to our Rewards. But our bill said that we had Peacock Premium included for 2 years as Gig speed customers. 

I asked for help here in November 2023 & thanks to several customer service representatives our account was set for the Diamond Reward Peacock subscription (no cost). But nothing I could find ever reflected that specifically in our account. I assumed that the internal coding was OK - it probably is - even tho the billing details weren't. We've been enjoying Peacock ever since. No cost. 

However, a few days ago I received an email telling me to activate Peacock so we can continue our Gig speed reward subscription at no cost. Also, the Peacock Account page (in-app) says we need to activate. There's an "Activate" button in the email. Curious, I checked the Rewards page yesterday. Once again there's a Peacock Reward banner there but it's non-functional. I can only click to exit (which makes the banner go away). There's no Peacock Reward displayed with our other redeemed rewards. 

Here's my dilemma: Do I just leave everything alone and wait to see if Peacock stops working in a few days, then ask for help if it does? Or do I start clicking things now & risk creating a new problem? I don't want to re-activate the Gig speed reward if our account's internal coding is OK for the Diamond Level Reward. 

Advice?

I'm not from Xfinity, but just wanted to tell you that anything having to do with Peacock, there is always a problem. In particular when it comes to activation, and that's the problem I've had for these last few days for which I've gone thru several "Chat Live" persons who don't know what they are doing, and a zillion AI who I absolutely refuse to deal with anymore. Xfinity can't figure out how to do anything when it comes to Peacock. So good luck.

Hi!

Thank you for your reply.

:)

The Peacock-as-a-Reward rollout seemed to have a lot of difficulties. I wonder if some of them were patched, not thoroughly fixed, & have resurfaced now that the first round of "Gig speed Peacock free for 2 years" rewards is due to expire (assuming that's the problem). 

I'm only worried that I'll make an unnecessary mess in our account if I start trying to activate something that doesn't really need to be activated.

Right now I'm leaning toward just waiting until the expiration date passes. If Peacock disappears or we start getting charged I'll come back to ask for help. It's been my experience that the representatives here are knowledgeable & patient, always a pleasure to deal with.
