Hulu/disney bundle activation problem

I can’t seem to activate account for Disney and Hulu without having to pay even though it says included as a bundle. I already activated peacock which was simple, wish I could say the same for the Disney and Hulu. I have already tried every step xfinity offered and still nothing .

@user_ok0u0a Thanks for reaching out. Our team can help.

Can you tell us if you're seeing an error code or error message?

What happens when you try to activate Disney plus and Hulu?

Are you using the same email address for all three or different email addresses?

I have tried the email link, text link, I’ve also tried doing it through the app. I type in the credentials and it asks me to pay even though it should be included. There is also no activate button anywhere

@user_ok0u0a Thanks for letting me know it ask you to pay. Can you check different email addresses for us? There should be one that will log you in and not ask you to pay. From there we can work on changing it but for now can you give it a try?

user_ok0u0a, Thanks for confirming this for us. Can you tell me what you see when you visit this link here? When you enter your Xfinity ID and password and click Lets go to sign into your XFINITY account, do you see an Activate option next to the Disney+, Hulu subscription options?

Some one made it right on the xfinity part. Thank you and I would definitely recommend updating an easier way to activate Disney and Hulu in the near future for users.

Trying to activate Hulu with the newest( a week ago) xFinity bundle. I can log into MyDisney.com. I’m not signed into any Disney family websites, I’ve changed the password nine times, I’ve deleted the browser cache. There is nowhere on the my.disney.com site where you can activate Hulu or ESPN. When I try to log into Hulu is asks which package I want to select.

I’ve been to that page but neither Hulu nor Disney+ is listed. I’ve read so many instructions from others to log into MyDisney and activate Hulu. There is no activation options at that sight. If it were possible to have the promotion email back again I could restart the activation cold turkey and maybe see what I did wrong. I now rue the day that I deleted it.

No. As I’ve explained, neither Hulu nor Disney+ are listed. 
Is it possible to resend me the email that announced the new offer? I will try to activate it again and see if I didn’t complete one of the steps.

This is an absolute joke. I have wasted hours with customer service and got nowhere. All I simply want is an activation link to show up under my subscriptions or get one emailed to me for the Disney+ and Hulu bundle included with the one gigabyte Internet package. Peacock automatically worked.

Xfinity customer service is clueless. They keep pointing me to the same documents over and over and can’t seem to understand that I simply cannot activate anything without the option to activate it.  

If anyone has a success story I’d be very interested to hear about it

Hi, @user_rds83! We are glad to further help with the apps. Did you visit our StreamStore website, https://www.xfinity.com/learn/digital-cable-tv/streaming-services to activate the subscriptions? If you have, do you see the activation button or what error do you get as you try?

Ditto on all the complaints. It's also hard to get resolution when you talk to someone whose native language is not English as the nuances of English is not an easy task.

Having the same issue, just spent the last 45 minutes on the phone with someone who kept explaining the same thing to me. I currently pay for Disney+ premium separately but from what I was told it should have just transferred over to include Hulu but it’s still not showing up as included. Do I need to cancel my premium subscription first?

DW_290  When you access the Disney + app, do you see a Hulu section? If so, what happens when you try to access any of the content there? 

Have you already stopped by DisneyPlus.com to check your plan bundle options there?

Hey folks I had the same frustration not being able to activate the included bundle I did the same steps over and over until I accidentally discovered the trick.   I got the email to activate peacock.  Hit all the activate buttons and took me to a third party app for peacock.  Asked for may email.  I entered.   Asked for my password.    I tried my Xfinity password but that’s not it.  The password they wanted was my email again!

hope this helps

I have the same problem.  I activated the Disney+ with the email I received from Xfinity support but when I use my email and password in the Disney+ app on my ROKU tv is keeps asking me to sign up for a subscrtiption for $4.99/mon.  I have deleted the app on the ROKU and started over several times.  How do I get the Disney+ to recognize I have the bundle deal with xfinity?

Hello there @SkyhgiH did you have Hulu and Disney plus prior to this activation?

We've had the same issue, new email that hasn't had any interaction with either service. Xfinity website will not show a purple "Activate" button for Disney Plus, Hulu, or Apple TV. Netflix sent an email to set up the service almost immediately, and Peacock was also no problem using our Xfinity Login

I can't activate my disney+ hulu subscription. I have tried everything and was even chatting with customer service last night. It tells me that i need to manage my accounts separately and then asks for me to pay. Peacock was no problem. But disney+ hulu has been a pain in the rear. Im not sure this subscription is even real.

Hello @user_2hmfm1, that is quite the amount of time to allocate towards activating a subscription. Transparently, we are pretty limited as to what we can see with third-party services which can cause delays in resolution. We are here to help though, could you describe the specific issue that you are running into a little further?

I chatted for an hour+ in the morning, had a 3 way call with X & Disney+ for about an hour, chatted again almost 2 hour last night (kept getting disconnected, having to start with new agent), then another call last night (disconnected, gave up).

I do have the "activate" button. And I activated peacock with no problem. However, it brings me to D+ to login, and when I do i get a message saying I need to manage my current subscription first. There is no current subscription (confirmed by D+ agent). I tried creating new accounts on D+ with new emails, same message. Ive tried different computers, private browsers, clearing cache.....

Hello,

I have tried calling Xfinity Support with no success.  I am trying to access my Disney+/Hulu promotion AD FREE, and currently pay the upcharge fee. It shows on my account, but I am still receiving ads when my bundle is supposed to be AD FREE. It doesn’t seem like any customer support person is able to resolve this issue. Most are completely unaware of it. Please advise. I see everything on my account, so I know I’m already being charged for AD FREE Disney+/Hulu. I also spoke to a Disney/Hulu representative and said it is definitely something on Xfinity’s end, since they are managing the payment and accounts.

I am having the same issue. The account says active on my Xfinity account but when I log into Disney plus with my Xfinity credentials it is saying I need to choose a subscription. I have this this escalated and they close the ticket and nothing is done . I have been on my Disney plus and Xfinity and they said it takes a few days to sync but it has been 6 days and nothing has changed . Any advise ? Is there a way to reset the account on Xfinity’s side so I can activate again ? I had no issues activating peacock .
