Peacock subscription issues

Peacock Subscription Activations

We’re aware some Xfinity Rewards, NOW TV and Gig 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.

 

If you don’t see the banner in Xfinity Assistant, it may be that your account isn’t current. You can check your account balance while in Xfinity Assistant and then try again. If your account is current, and you’re still not seeing the activation banner, please know we’re working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Note: regardless of account status, Xfinity Rewards customers may need agent assistance. You can chat with an agent while in Xfinity Assistant.

For additional assistance, please see all our Peacock App help articles.

It still doesn’t work! It would be nice if Xfinity actually wanted to help resolve the issue rather than sending customers in circles.

I am sorry, but if this is a true benefit, why can't anyone actually help?  It's been 28 days and all I get is that Xfinity is still looking into this.

@user_lmah78, That is quite a long time without access to Peacock, but never fear we are here to get you up and running. Customers who have had issues gaining access are not all experiencing concerns due to the same reason. Due to this, a universal fix is not available to resolve the specific concern you may be dealing with. That said, I assure you we are well-equipped to get to the bottom of things for you. Please send us a direct message with your full name and complete service address.

Here's the detailed steps to direct message us:
• Click "Sign In" if necessary
• Click the "Peer to peer chat" icon (upper right corner of this page)
• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
• Type "Xfinity Support" in the to line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list
• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
• Press Enter to send your message.

This is useless! There is no activation banner and you consistently disconnect me from your chat and phone connections.

Mine doesn't work. Hasn't worked since I upgraded my package. Can we start a class action suit? I feel like I've been scammed.

I am having the same issue with my recent 1gb upgrade. Followed everything noted here. Talked via chat and on the phone with someone and they just have me going in circles. Unfortunately I have no other option in my area than xfinity for cable internet but rest assured if I did I would drop xfinity like a hot potato!

Get a lot of sorry, you are important to us but it is just words no action. So frustrating!!!

After multiple calls and finally giving up, i just checked my Xfinity Assistant recently on a whim and after almost 6 months i saw the Peacock activation link in it finally. Was finally able to activate it.

They haven’t been able to resolve this issue for me. It’s been several months and multiple calls. Pretty unfair business practice to offer the Peacock reward to some and not others. At the very least they should be offering us a credit so we can purchase an account on our own.

Well, I did as you requested and guess what… they said they’ll have to get back to me. Why aren’t you offering to deduct the amount from our xfinity bill and allow us to sign up outside of xfinity if you can’t fix the problem?

I signed up for the free peacock service for being a platinum member. I watched peacock last weekend and changed my password. Today I can’t login into peacock and can’t figure out why? I talked to peacock and they said my email doesn’t exist. I go to my rewards and it says my peacock account is active. What a joke!!!

Your answer to everyone is to Click the Chat button, but there isn't one. The 'bell' is for notifications and I do not have one. Just like everyone else, I cannot get into Peacock and all the 'links' the chat gives me, do not work

@user_188ff9 Did you change your Peacock password or the password on your Xfinity account?

Xfinity says my Peacock account is activated but Peacock says my email doesn’t exist. I tried to reset my password on Peacock but that failed because Peacock says my email address doesn’t exist. Funny the week before I watched the football game on Peacock. Very simple solution Xfinity!!!! Deactivate my Peacock via Xfinity and then resend me the email to activate it. Then I will proceed to reactivate the account via Xfinity and reactivate the account in Peacock.

I was made to change my password on my Xfinity so I could login to my account. Once I was looged into my Xfinity account I went to my rewards and activated my free Peacock. Once you activate Peacock then it take you to the Peacock app and you sign in.

For the last few days, the peacock app is not working correctly, and when it finally loads, it forgets my information.

This is terrible service considering that one of you is owned by the other.
