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

On 6/27/23 I received an email from Xfinity offering a free Peacock subscription for 2 years because I am a gigabit subscriber.  About that same time, I could no longer access content on Peacock without a subscription.  I have called numerous times over the last 2 months without success. On 8/2/23 I was given an ECM number ([Edited: "Personal Information"]) and told it would would be fixed within 14 days. How can I get this resolved?

Every chat or phone call with a customer rep is the same process. I tell them what's wrong, they go through their scripts, say they're escalating the issue and nothing gets fixed.

I have 2 issues the customer service reps cannot remedy:

1) I am a platinum level customer and cannot redeem/activate the free Peacock subscription;

2) I cannot access Xfinity hotspots. I get errors saying hotspots are "not available on my tier of service" and "Authorization Error/Unauthorized Service" when trying to logon to the hotspot app.

My credentials work for the Xfinity app and (obviously) this forum.

Does anyone have a sharable contact for a [Edited: Inflammatory] person/dept in Comcast/Xfinity that can correct these problems and does not have to run through a script?

Hello @FerruzAXP we know that it can be frustrating to not get assistance with your concerns, our community is here to support you! Can you please go into more detail on what issues you are having with trying to redeem Peacock Premium? Have you already redeemed the offer via Xfinity Rewards but are unable to activate it, or are you having trouble being able to redeem the offer within Xfinity Rewards in the first place?

 

For WiFi Hotspots, access to our Xfinity WiFi Hotspots is included with Xfinity Mobile and post-pay Internet and would only not be available to Xfinity Prepaid internet customers. Do you have our internet services set up? How are you trying to locate the WiFi hotspots (connecting directly on your device or via the WiFi Hotspots app)?

I'll answer that, the issue for me is I got the offer June 28th saying to go to assistant and click the banner, but banner never arrived. Chatted several times with agents who promised to resolve in 24 hours and nothing. One agent insisted I needed a flex box which arrived and no difference. Another keeps insisting I subscribe to the 5.99 plan and they will resolve it then. You chat agents are terrible, don't know what they are doing and cannot understand or communicate. This is an embarrassment. You need to arrange an offer code that you can email us and that will automatically work on the peacock website. This is literally what you do for a living, the fact that you are unable makes us question how you are still in business.

That said, last agent said long standing diamond customers qualify for peacock for life, I have a printout of that conversation if interested.

I am also unable to activate my free Premium offer.  As a 1200MB subscriber, I received an email on June 23rd saying no action is required.  Logging in to Peacock shows as having no plan and no access to Premium content.  Also, as a Platinum Rewards member, I tried to redeem that offer.  It only shows a 'Use by Jan 1' banner and an 'Exit' button.  No button to activate/redeem the reward as other rewards have.  Opening the chatbot also does not show the offer as the instructions say, nor does the xfinity website have a banner to activate.

How can I get this resolved?

Thanks

After 2 months, I finally have access.  After complaining to the FCC, I had someone call me and look into the issue.  I have not updated my service in several years so they had to update a code on a piece of equipment to allow me to get access.  I only know about it because I got a notice that my Reddit ticket was resolved/closed (no one actually told me it was resolved).  I logged into the Xfinity app and went to the rewards and the Peacock reward was different.  It no longer had a link to go to the Xfinity assistant.  After looking around a bit, I found the banner on the app (it wasn't abundantly clear).  I was able to enter my email (non-Comcast domain), and I once again have Peacock access.

@randman11​ , Can you please let us know how you complained to FCC, maybe this will get this resolved.  I have been given the run around as others have noted including getting the Flex hardware.  The funny part is that Comcast is not even embarrassed about this.  Whoever heads this organization ought to be fired!

@user_c31f19​ Just search FCC Complaint or FCC Complaint Form.  I'm not sure they will allow me to put a link up here.

Hello @sabu1! Thank you for reaching out regarding your Peacock experience. Comcast and Peacock have been working to improve the activation experience, please retry the following activation steps to see if you can access Peacock Premium. 

Restart the activation steps from the beginning: 
*Access the Xfinity Assistant from here: https://www.xfinity.com/xfinityassistant/   (You may need to sign into your Xfinity account)
*Check for an "Activate Now" on banner that states "Your Peacock subscription is ready for activation". Click the banner if it appears, if it does not the Xfinity Reward may already be activated.

*If the banner was clicked, that should route you to the Peacock website to continue activation. 
*You will then be promoted to enter your email and password associated with your Peacock account. Once logged, you can verify your Peacock subscription by clicking “Account,” navigating to “Plans & Payment”, and confirming monthly charges = $0.00.  

 

If there is no banner after accessing the Xfinity Assistant, the Xfinity Reward may already be activated. 
*Go to https://www.peacocktv.com/ and click “Sign In” 
*Enter email address and password associated with your Peacock account. This may be the same login as Xfinity, it may not be. If you have multiple email addresses, please try them all.
*Once logged, you can verify your Peacock subscription by clicking “Account,” navigating to “Plans & Payment”, and confirming monthly charges = $0.00

I did all this. No where at all does it say no monthly charges but on my bill it does. This whole thing is so stupid.

I still do not have access and Xfinity and their great employees have stopped trying to help. I guess they would rather lose a customers $250/month over a $5/month service.

It can't possibly be that hard to get this to work.  They just don't care.

I was told in an SMS chat that I could have Peacock gratis last Spring. I finally have it. I just got an email telling me to open my xFinity app on my smart phone and click "Activate Now." Small print, but it was there. Clicked it and followed directions and now have my Peacock reward. If you do not have a smart phone and the xFinity app, are you still SOL? Why did it take almost 6 months to get this right? I recently signed up for Walmart+. Their Paramount+ activation followed a very similar path with their app. Why can Walmart have a simple activation path long since and xFinity had to struggle for months to get to the same point?

Clicking on the activate now  does nothing for me. Peacock says I don’t have it. Xfinity shows I do on the bill award, but I don’t and they’re not able to fix it.

I'm so tired. Have been trying to get this issue resolved since June, 2023. It was offered to me, I didn't call to get it. If you can't fix it, let me know. Usually when a company offer a digital subscription, they send a link. When I open the rewards tab inside my account, that is the one tab that's missing.

I tried explaining this to the CSR (politely) but it's not a fix they can do. It's a billings' issue between Xfinity and Peacock. I'm in three months deep, even changed over to a Flex device because I thought that would make a difference over using my Roku. Well, that just picked up speed.

Anyway, tomorrow I'll be returning the Flex and calling it quits. This is not a part of my retirement...FROM COMCAST!!!!!!!!

Yes, no resolution for me either since July and they dared to send me an E mail stating my issue was resolved. Make no mistake nothing is resolved still no access to reward for peacock!

Same issue here.  Originally got the email in June that I qualified as a gig internet subscriber.  Never received the offer in rewards to resolved.  Contacted customer service numerous times before they agreed that I qualify.  After the fourth time, they opened an advanced support ticket on August 22.  I have the ticket number, but no way to check its status.  Needless to say, it has not been resolved and contacting customer service just gets me the scripted response to ask the Xfinity assistant to activate my premium peacock subscription, which doesn't work.  At this point, I know that this will never be resolved and it's probably not worth wasting more time on.  Stupid of me to expect anything less from Comcast.

I’m in the same spot. I’m giving it until Monday to be contacted with a resolution, then I’m contacting FCC

@jdpearlin​ You got that right. The agent claimed several times that it would be solved while we were in chat. Thn said 3-5 days then after I complained said they would call me tonight. It would be fixed. xFinity trains their agents to lie, lie, lie. They do it so often that they don't think that they're lying.

@jdpearlin​ I hear some are filing FCC complaints.  You can leave it alone but at the end of the day, it is a service we were promised that we are not receiving.  The deciding factor of me choosing TV Now for  $20 a month because it came with Peacock - which I thought was worth it.  

"If you want to file a consumer complaint about the issue you are experiencing, go to consumercomplaints.fcc.gov and choose from the six category buttons under File a Complaint (TV, phone, Internet, radio, emergency communications, access for people with disabilities)."

I am still having this problem. I am a platinum rewards member and used a reward to sign up for Peacock yesterday. The banner to activate never appeared in my assistant chat. I had a peacock account from when it was free on Xfinity and my peacock account page says no active subscription

Same here. I was given a ticket number as they are supposedly looking into it. I was promised I’d be contacted within in 24 hours with a resolution. Haha. It’s been several days and no word. Ridiculous. Contacting FCC tomorrow

Ok so I guess I’ll have to contact FCC as well as they seem to not want to help

Also, during one of my super helpful chats sessions, their tech tried selling me that new “Now”, thing they have going on. Like I’m going to spend more money to get what I’m supposed to get for free! Insert eye roll here.

@user_616208​  Complaint made today SEPT 18, with FCC.  We”ll see what happens now. I sent a copy of my bill that shows a zero charge for the premium I’m supposed to be getting.

There is now an active investigation into my complaint against Xfinity with the FCC. I urge all who haven’t received their Peacock premium, to contact FCC.
