Peacock Subscription Activations

**UPDATE 07/18/2023**

We’re aware some customers may have been having an issue activating their Peacock Premium plan. Peacock and their technology partner have implemented a fix and you should now be able to activate your subscription.

Please try again and thank you for your patience.

For additional information, please see our Peacock subscription changes and FAQs article

Having the same issue here. Was able to (finally) redeem the reward days after it was supposed to go live, and I did get the "Next steps to redeem..." email shortly afterward. But the links in the email do not work.

There is no "activate now" Peacock banner, to be found anywhere.

The assistant just redirects you to the Peacock page where you can set up an account, but it wants to bill you $4.99 per month even though it should be no charge, as I am a Diamond Rewards member.

The above doesn't work. My account is current. Have logged in and logged out several times. Spent 2 hours on the phone and in chats with agents. Could never get an activation banner. Log into Peacock and just asks me to subscribe. Agent promised me an email in an hour with a solution but it never came. Very frustrated. This changeover should have been seamless.

I'm trying to access the rewards area of my account to get my free Peacock Premium code but all I ever get is a black screen with 3 dots that continually loop. I've seen this all over the forums but no answers on how to fix it. My account is in good standing, I'm a Platinum Rewards status, tried multiple browsers and the Xfinity App, cleared cache. It's definitely not on my end. I'm trying to watch the Tour De France so need to get my Peacock account activated ASAP. Can you please assist.

I am having the same issue some others are. Up until now, instead of taking the free premium I was getting the discounted premium plus through xfinity instead. So it charged me $4.99 on 6/11 for premium plus, to renew on 7/11. Since the xfinity offers ended in the middle of the billing cycle, it downgraded me to only some free peacock shows, even though I was paid through 7/10.

And now, even though it says in my account "not subscribed", when I try to activate this platinum reward the peacock site says it could not link my account because I already have premium!

So now I am stuck unable to get the offer and I am also in the middle of a paid month with no paid access. Only way I'd be able to redeem the offer, I assume, is sue a new email address or MAYBE on 7/11 it will work to actviate. But it even says it's already going to charge me again on 7/11 despite me being unsubscribed! The whole thing is a mess.

I'm in the same boat.....diamond and gig internet.  Question is, what are we as a group going to do about this?

Actual support response I received "you can wait til 07/08/2023."

I'm in a situation similar to everyone else.  Diamond Rewards Member, have selected the reward and it tells me,
"Nice! You’re on your way to enjoying Peacock Premium.

We’re getting everything ready for you in the background. In about ten (10) minutes, follow these simple steps to activate your reward:

  1. Navigate to the Xfinity Assistant and click Activate Now on the Peacock banner. This will redirect you to Peacock’s website.
  2. If you had a Peacock account, enter your existing email and password. If not, sign up with your email address
  3. Click the Log In button, follow the prompts, and that’s it! Your Peacock Premium is now activated.

Additionally, be on the lookout for an email from Xfinity with instructions on how to activate your Peacock Premium service at no extra cost (currently $4.99/mo). Please note it may take up to two hours to receive this email."

The Xfinity Assistant does not have a Peacock banner, whether accessing it through the link, through xfinity.com/chat, or through the Xfinity App (as well as clearing browser cache and cookies like some have recommended).  I have also not received an email with instructions, even though I completed the reward claim over 12 hours ago.  I have also tried opening the app to look for a claim banner there (to no avail) and also to log out of the app, clear app cache and memory, reinstall app.  Not sure what else I am supposed to do here..... 
Any tips that I have forgotten?

I have continued to be told to "wait while the technical glitch is fixed". I think that's the only remaining tip you could try...unfortunately.

From You,

Good to know this is being worked on.  I also have no activation banner showing for the free Peacock Premium reward even though it shows in my account that I claimed this offer.  I did get the e-mail listing next steps to activate the offer, but it doesn't work.  I'm wondering if there is a time frame on getting this resolved and whether those of us who are having this issue will receive notification when it's fixed.  Will the two-year offer be extended to start on the date we were able to activate the offer since it was supposed to start on 6/26, but it's now six days later and counting.  Thanks!

I'm having the same issue as everyone else in this thread. I received the email to activate my peacock premium account, but the banner isn't showing up on my account page or in the Xfinity Assistant. I chatted with a customer support agent and they weren't able to resolve the issue. They elevated my case with ticket ECM0002502840. I haven't received any updates on the ticket yet.

Sorry to hear that, @user_d3d7dc. If you reach back out to us, privately I can check to see if there have been any updates. Just send a private message to Xfinity Support with your full name and full address by clicking the chat icon in the top right and I'll take a look.

REALLY? What is this even for an answer?! This thread is 13 pages long (so far)... Why not get the act together and inform us ALL publicly??

I mean seriously! What is this? -.-

(Not sure if this is the right thread...)

Diamond Reward + Gig member here.

Received an email 6/27 that said our Peacock sub was automatically extended by 2 years bec we're Gig members, that we didn't have to do anything. We still do have Peacock, so no difficulty there (which is wonderful).

But I want to redeem the Diamond Reward for Peacock and it isn't on the Rewards page. All that's there re Peacock is an informational image ("Learn More").

Also: No other emails and no activation banner on XfinityAssistant or the Account page.

:)

I’m a gig customer and have not been able to gain access either… this is frustrating and infuriating!

tried the following without resolution:

Xfinity.com/chat

Xfinity Assistant

 Incognito to sign in as well and no resolve…


Tried getting through to y’all online and through the phone for 2 days to finally get told I would have a call back. 

Got the call back and they told me to try with the flex box. 

Tried setting it up on a flex box too but since I never used it to begin with it tells me to go to Xfinity.com/account and there’s nothing there either.

——— Fail.

Hello @user_2ea4df! We’re aware some customers are having difficulty activating their Peacock account. If you’re not seeing an activation banner on xfinity.com/account, please go to Xfinity Assistant and select Sign In. The activation banner should appear at the top of the chat and should work once you click it. We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for being an Xfinity customer.

@user_2ea4df - The banner may not appear if you have a past-due payment on your account. Have you checked your balance recently?

@user_2ea4df, did the email state if it was to remain free after your redeemed a reward, or did it state it would remain free due to being a Gig customer? We have seen where some have an issue finding the banner after redeeming in the rewards, and others are Gig customer which is a different issue. It helps to know which one you are part of to continue to assist.

How can I activate my Peacock subscription. Nothing seems to be working on the website or on my cable box. I have gigabit internet and understand I should still be getting access to Peacock for free.

Hello @whoanellie have you had the opportunity to check through all the above criteria to confirm eligibility for your Xfinity rewards? Such as no past due balance, checking through the Xfinity assistant at xfinity.com/account to see if that banner pops up.

Thank you for your response. I have giga internet. I only have gold reward status - I don't know why. We've maintained comcast/xfinity service for many years although we did move about 6 years ago. I just confirmed that I have $0 due.

After a week of this, one can only assume that this might be some sort of experiment, waged by white-coated masochists in some underground lair, ala Cabin In The Woods, to gauge interest in the service, and to also potentially dupe people into agreeing to pay for it in the hopes of being reimbursed at a later date.

I never even cared about Peacock. I never opened that tab on my tv. I may have even deleted it from the menu. I honestly gave Peacock zero percent of my attention. Didn't seem to offer anything that I couldn't find on any of the numerous other streaming services that I already pay for, and I certainly have no interest in streaming ads. I didn't even know it was going away until they emailed me about getting it for free as a "reward". And considering the almost-a-car-payment amount of money they get from me every month, I would hardly call it a "freebie". But why not add yet another option to endlessly scroll through, hoping to find something to watch? Seemed like a no-brainer.    

But this hilariously botched roll-out has finally got me considering severing ties with this company. Which just might be the greatest reward of all.

You had me at "white-coated masochists". It would be funny if the "gauging interest" aspect is even partially true. I've read that Peacock is still hemorrhaging money and struggling to build a paying-customer base.

The fact that they can't seem to figure this out is just baffling to me. As is my level of irritation over such a banal subject. I don't even want the freakin' channel! Their inability to address and correct something that should have been sorted long before the notices even went out is very telling. The customer service responses I am seeing in this thread are laughable, akin to "did you try closing it and reopening it?" malarkey we have all been hit with at one time or another. Let them stew in their own flop-sweat. Being a holiday weekend, I don't expect any miracles in the immediate future. I guess we are giving a cable and internet company far too much credit to assume they can handle cable and internet stuff.
