Can't activate Peacock Premium for Gig subscribers

My understanding is Gigabit Xfinity subscribers get Peacock Premium for free for 2 years. When I click the banner inside the "chat" bot to activate, and I enter my Peacock information, I get the error: "We were unable to link Peacock to your account. You may already have Peacock Premium."

I had a premium subscription, but I canceled it and let it lapse like the FAQ pages say to do. I even created a new email and a new Peacock account to test if I could link those and that was also unsuccessful.

This is a waste of time. I've been on with phone and online support 6 times in the last 4 days, still no Peacock activation.  I spoke with a L2 tech who after an hour, said this is a 'known issue' with no resolution time.  FIX THIS.

I am having the same problem and have been through 6 advisors and roughly 2 hours on calls trying to get this fixed.  No one solves the problem.  How do I talk to EVP of care at Xfinity to give feedback.  Comcast is certainly confirming their image as the worst in customer service.

@user_c6worm That is definitely not the experience we want our customers to have. There is and has been a known issue with Gigabit speed customers redeeming their Peacock offers. Our engineers are working to resolve the issue but at this time there is no ETA I do apologize.  Feel free to leave your feedback about the experience you can use these link here:

Having the same issue. If there is no access yet, how do I ensure the timer doesn’t start until we get it fixed?
