I receive notices that my Platinum Membership qualifies for free Peacock Premium yet Xfinity will not let me activate.

As the title says above, I either get stuck in website loops that go nowhere, or it states I do not qualify even though Xfinity advertises to me that I do qualify. 

Can an Xfinity support rep help looking this? I tried both phone and online chat support and both instances were either dead ends or I was getting passed from one rep to another. 

It's really disappointing and I am shopping for a new wireless carrier and was considering Xfinity, but this user experience and support I have been receiving allowed me to change my mind.

Same problem here, but no help from the un-assistant and no link I can see to send a direct message

I was instructed by a member of your team (@XfinityCarolyn) above to do exactly that and I followed their steps.  If it's a violation of guidelines why did an Xfinity employee instruct me to do so?

@user_lrw9aa Thank you again for allowing us to help out to get this resolved for you. It seems the promotion was missing from the account which was causing the issue. Once our teams were able to add the service that allowed you to complete the activation. I appreciate you reaching out to us on our Xfinity Forums and allowing my team to help out. If there's anything else that you need in the future create a new post and we will jump in to help out. I hope that you have a wonderful week!

I am also having a very frustrating time trying to "redeem my free Peacock subscription"- I've been a Diamond member over 20 yrs, and clicking on the link doesn't work. I've tried to chat and call only to be stuck in a very inefficient chat, or to follow instructions that don't work. I've called on 2 different days and requested callbacks between 12 and 29 minutes or 13 and 31 minutes only to NEVER receive a callback. Yesterday I spoke with someone who told me to login to Peacock on the TV with my Xfinity username and password to get connected. That also does not work. As someone else in the forum has said, "it's maddening." I don't understand why you can't push a button on your Xfinity end, to allow me to just be connected to my free Peacock instead of being stuck in a customer support loop of zero support. Links on Xfinity don't work, I'm told I'm not the primary user (I am), going to the activation page doesn't work, going directly to Peacock doesn't work, it all just doesn't work! Something needs to be done!

@user_360ude​ I'm having the exact same issues as the user above, and have tried all the fixes recommended, so frustrating!  Did AI chat, direct chat and went to an xfinity store nothing has resolved my issue.  There is no button to activate Peacock, yet it says I'm a diamond member and can get Peacock at no cost to me.  Clicked on explore and redeem, nothing for activating Peacock.
