Free Peacock

I was told that I had free Peacock for 2 years.  I have had it for three months, and now cannot watch Peacock as it says I need to sign up for a plan.  What happened to my free subscription?

I was also told I was qualified for free Peacock Premium streaming, but when I try to activate it Peacock says it is having problems and can't activate. There is no way to  contact Peacock, even worse than trying to contact Xfinity/Comcast.

You can't get help from Peacock unless you sign in, and you can't sign in unless you choose a package you want to pay for.

I think it's all scammy deceit to try to trap you into paying for stuff.

Hello user_e1mtnc thanks so much for reaching out and adding your voice to the conversation here on our Xfinity Forums.  How are we trying to activate the Peacock Premium bundle? The main site for doing this is https://www.xfinity.com/yoursubscriptions. Have you had Peacock Premium at any point previously, prior to the most recent service offers?

Been there, done that. I have never had Peacock before.

Like I said, when I click on Activate, I'm taken to Peacock which says it can't activate my subscription, please try again. Never works.

Thank you for confirming. The error "can't activate my subscription" isn't one that is connected to our free Peacock offer subscription errors. 

Are you by chance able to provide a screenshot of the message you get when you try the activation link?

That's nice, but MY issue is still unresolved. My issue is not like user_ktt35o's.

user_e1mtnc That is odd, and I honestly have not run into that one before. I get the "account is already active" error commonly. Let me ask, are you at home connected to your Xfinity wifi when trying the activation process?

Yes I am connected to Xfinity wifi and using a Mac laptop. Is there an app or hardware for Peacock that is necessary for this? Maybe cookies need to be allowed? Who knows? It says the fault is theirs.

user_e1mtnc In that case, let's cover all the bases so they cant say we missed something. The us make sure it is not an issue with the browser. Could you clear your cache and cookies, as well as close out all your currently open browser windows? At Xfinity.com, we do have an option at the bottom of the page for cookie preferences, which you can check out to see if you need to allow anything.

Once you have that all done, return to the Activation link.

I had Internet installed on Jan 30th 2026. It came with two years free Peacock. I activated Peacock right away and have been watching it daily until 2 days ago. I am still owed 21 months of free Peacock
