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

Some people seem to be getting their activation banners by reports on this Forum?  However, many still do not have the activation link. Does anyone know why this isn't globally corrected at once and is just being corrected a bit at a time. Does anyone have a timeline or know anything about successful activation timeline for all those who are eligible?

@user_692a24​ , I have the exact same question.  I was told today to give it another day or two.  Same answer I've been given for the past 3+ weeks.  Really couldn't feel any less valued as a long-term (Diamond rewards) customer.  Extremely disappointed.

@user_692a24​ If you are a rewards member, try checking rewards page.  I have a new reward and it still shows the one I claimed back in June.  You will not, however, be able to add ad-free if you accept and claim the reward.

@user_9c0645​ , I have a new reward that looks like:

But when I click on it, here is what I see:
and the only thing I can do is "Exit".

Sorry,  I don't know because I contacted Peacock customer service before I tried anything to ask about ad-free and, since it can no longer be added, I didn't try to claim it.

This is such a mess. In my case activation is not the problem. I am a Diamond/Gigabit subscriber. My Peacock Premium account has been activated and my account indicates that I am subscribed for $0.00. I can log onto the Peacock app via my TV, Computer or Roku but whenever I try to access premium content I am prompted to buy a paid subscription. FIX THIS XFINITY!!!!!!!

"Activation" doesn't mean it shows up on your Xfinity bill/statement. Everyone has seen that on their bill for the past few weeks. You need to wait for the elusive banner that links you to the Peacock website to actually activate the offer. Then, when you view your Peacock account (not your Xfinity account), it will show the premium subscription there. And you will be able to view all content.

After hours on the phone and on chat with Xfinity with no resolve I have given up and purchased Peacock on my own.  The frustration level with Xfinity is simply over the top. We have not been able to watch Peacock content for nearly a month.  The people I spoke with at Xfinity were courteous, however most seemed uninformed on the Peacock issues and at this point I feel I know more about the problem than those assigned by Xfinity to assist me in resolving it.  I have been told for weeks that Xfinity is aware of the issue and is working on it, well I can only assume after weeks of the issue being identified either Xfinity is slow rolling this fix or the programmers are incompetent and it could be weeks longer if at all. I know some here have had their issue resolved, but it seems to be one here and there out of what has to be thousands. Xfinity please do better. Knowing that Peacock, and Xfinity are under the same ownership group only makes this issue more bitter to swallow. A little communication goes a long way. You have left your customers in the dark and you have failed to communicate intercompany to quickly solve the problem.  Again please do better.

Xfinity is a joke. I have been communicating privately with them. They say that that I have raised a ticket and they have their best people working on it. When I inquired about this today. They said oh you should have access!  I still do not have access and hasn’t watched Peacock for a month. Also, it looks like Peacock just raised their price to $5.99 for premium access. This is a complete <Edit: Inflammatory>.

you guys should try the absolute worthless chat 'support', they dont listen to you, they follow a script, send you links to things that have nothing to do with your issue, promise you'll get a link sent to via email that will give you access, promise it will be fixed in 2 days.

They need to find new call centers and staff them with people who actually try to do their job.

Still no activation banner today, almost one solid month now.  As one forum member recommended I placed a complaint with FCC today for what it is worth. I have been an xfinity customer for over 2 decades and am a gigabit user.  The very least that could have been done was an email explaining the problem and the actual timeline to fixing it which has absolutely no connection to any solution profferred, however courteously,  by the frontline chat, the xfinity assistant  (that is funny), by phone or by supposedly the elevation of the problem to ticket status. After this debacle I would never and I mean never choose Xfinity Mobile services which they always try to sell. Can you imagine a company that cannot provide a digital list of customers to its own subsidiary for subscription activation being in charge of your phone access.

@XfinityDilary​ The banner is not present today in any place, not my computer, not my phone, not by TV, no on Peacock app. . I have had the Peacock App for quite some time, but on the Peacock page it says I am not currently subscribed and offers two paid plans. On my xfinity account billing page it continues to say I am subscribed to Peacock until June 2025.

Thanks for clarifying! Did you redeem the promotion through the Xfinity Rewards? Or is this part of the Gig subscription promotion?

Thanks for sharing, @user_692a24! Some customers have been able to access the App already, but some have not. We are still working with our engineering team to resolve this issue. The same is happening with some of our Xfinity Rewards members. I am sincerely sorry for the inconvenience. At this time, the best we can do is wait for an update. I'd be happy to keep an eye on it for you. And we can also check the Xfinity reward's member status for you. If you've been with us for more than 20 years (Awesome by the way) thanks for your continued business for so long. We can correct your member status as well. Could you please send our team a private message with your name and service address? Our team can take a look.

On July 18, I received the email regarding getting Peacock Premium for free through June 25, 2025.

I still do NOT see the activation banner after logging into Xfinity assistant.  

My other gripe - I'm being shortchanged nearly a month with the delayed email and the activation not working.  

I, along with everyone else having issues, should get the promo extended since we are getting short changed!

Sign into Xfinity, then click on the TV & Streaming tab.  I found an activation link there.

I only have internet service but this is where I found the link. Clearly, it's not working the same for everyone.

Thank you.  Sadly I still don't see the activation banner.  I am also Internet only customer.

I think it is absurd that it has been a month and your "engineers" are still working on the issue.  You are saying after a month, no one can figure out how to give your customers what you offered them?    Remember, no one asked for this, you offered it!!  It should have worked from day 1.  I shouldn't have to redeem the offer, then activate the offer.  It should have just kept working. 

If I was getting something for free that I wasn't supposed to, you would have figured it out in a minute.

Hi there, @Jason_r21 Thank you so much for your time today. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience this is causing you. I understand how frustrating this is for you, and definitely not the experience we want any of our customers to have. Have you recently tried the Xfinity Assistant? We do have customers letting us know that some are now able to redeem the Peacock offer. We also had some questions relay to us that they found the activation link by logging into Xfinity and going to TV and Streaming.-Richard

Diamond, gig speed on 2 accounts, and this. So now, 2 years is looking more like 23 months, just make sure you pay your bill on time,

The funniest thing is below - from their email

Your gig-speed internet from Xfinity now includes Peacock Premium at no extra cost for two years through June 25, 2025. No action is required, so stream away..

@garfeeld1​ yep. no way to manage it on xfinity. so this "gift" is so far really useless... I don't want to waste even more time to watch Peacock with ads...

God this is horrible.  I had Premium using a different email than my Xfinity and now with the changes I can't even cancel it via Xfinity or Peacock. Account says its gonna bill me 59/month and is controlled via xfinity.

Logged in to Flex and mobile and PC and Xfinity says I have no Peacock and  Peacock says I have Premium billed through Xfinity.

So... I try to get this new offer since I have Gig internet and nothing pops up. Same as everyone else.. I like how the employees just keep saying the same thing over and over like that is the actual solution to anyone's issue....

@user_asdfgf45645​   

If Peacock says you have Premium billed through Xfinity, then that means Peacock will not bill you directly. And if Xfinity says you don't have Peacock, then Xfinity isn't charging you either. So where are you seeing a $59 charge?

It would be great, if y’all just sent us that qualify a redemption code. Directv and Spectrum both give their customers redemption codes to apply. 

this no banner thing is ridiculous. Chat agent told me it was escalated and a banner would show up in 24 hours… that was 72 hours ago and I’m still without peacock premium….. so.

@Calturtle13​ Seems like a super easy fix for all but yet here we are almost a FULL MONTH later with no resolution. How is this acceptable to them?

It's really funny that Xfinity is reaching out to "help" you.  I've been direct messaging them since July 16th, and all they ever tell me is that they are aware of the problem and are working to fix it.  I am both a gig-speed customer and a Diamond rewards member.  I like the idea of a redemption code and suggested it to them as well.  How can anyone in support find this situation the least bit acceptable?

@XfinityEricB​ How do we upgrade to the premium plus(no ads) plan? It says on Peacock that everything is handled here now.

Thank you for the question, @garfeeld1. This page has the FAQs for the Peacock Premium change. If you slide to almost the bottom it addresses Peacock Premium Plus. There is no way to upgrade to Premium Plus if you have Peacock Premium through Xfinity at this time. If you’d like to keep Peacock Premium Plus, you can redeem a limited time offer from Peacock to continue watching.

As of 7/24/2023 it's supposed to be "resolved".... I still do not see any of the activation prompts on my account. Is there a specific process to get this working?
