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?

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.

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?

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 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
