Can't activate Peacock Premium

I can't activate my free Peacock Premium subscription. Every time I try, I get the following message: 

Something unexpected happened

Please close this pop up and try again. If the problem persists, try again later.

I've tried this multiple times over multiple days and receive the same message every time. I've double checked on Peacock and while I do have an account from a previous service, I am currently not enrolled in any plan. Thank you.
