No Peacock Premium Despite Claiming Xfinity Platinum Reward

In June, when complementary Peacock Premium was taken away, I signed up for the 12 months @ $2.99/month offer. In July, Xfinity Rewards offered free Peacock Premium for Platinum members, and I claimed the reward on the Xfinity Rewards site. When I received the activation email, I clicked the link, and clicked "Activate Now" on the banner that appeared on the Xfinity site. It took me to the Peacock website, and I logged into my Peacock account, followed the prompts and got a confirmation. After completing the process, I got an email that my paid Peacock subscription had been cancelled, but the currently paid month would run until 7/28.  After 7/28, I no longer have access to Peacock Premium content, and my Peacock account shows "No subscription" despite having claimed and activated the reward offer.

After contacting Peacock support (who just directed me to Xfinity support), I contacted Xfinity support, but the Xfinity rep frustratingly kept trying to troubleshoot technical issues with logging in on my end, not seeming to comprehend that it was an account/subscription issue, not a login issue.

This is extremely frustrating, and someone at Xfinity needs to get it sorted out.

user_8qc6vf, Thank you for reaching out to Xfinity Support. I am sorry that you have had trouble accessing your Xfinity Reward. We would be happy to help. Please give the following a try and let us know if it works for you: 

Please head to https://www.xfinity.com/xfinityassistant/, and sign in using your Xfinity user ID. Click "Activate Now" on banner that states "Your Peacock subscription is ready for activation" and you should be directed to the Peacock website. You will then need to enter your email and password that you would like associated with the Peacock account, or use the one you already have. At this point you should be good to go.

If your Peacock account is linked to a 3rd party biller, you will need to cancel the existing subscription first before activation will be successful with the Xfinity offer for Peacock. You may have to wait for the account to “expire” or “cycle”. before you can complete setup. You may have to contact the 3rd party biller to determine that date.

I'm having the exact same issue! No reps on both sides will help, both point the finger at each other. Even though we all know it's Xfinity's fault.

Thanks but no---I did that 30 days ago, actually. Xfinity provided no instructions on how to follow through with it, so 1 hour later signed up for the 2.99 plan accidentally, which was promptly cancelled the next day. That's how I've been watching it for the last month. ON day 30, my Peacock shut off (which was probably the 2.99 overriding both) and have had nothing for a week. Platinum Rewards aren't getting me very far :(

There is NEVER a banner. Why does Xfinity keep instructing people to click the banner when none exists???

I agree, my bill states I have Peacock premium but there is no where to activate it - no banner anywhere

Hello, @user_638493 and thread. I apologize that you are still not able to activate Peacock. The activation banner would show up in the Xfinity Assistant after you log in with your Primary User ID. I see that you already sent a direct message so I will continue over there.

Just a follow-up...

I DM'd Xfinity Support as instructed, and they opened a ticket with Xfinity Rewards support. After a dew days, the issue appears to be resolved as my Peacock subscription now shows "Peacock Premium - Billed by Xfinity" and I once again have access to Peacock Premium content.

@user_1a9733​ Yes, after transferring around to SEVEN support team members who couldn't help me, but sure offered to "lower my bill" and give me cell phone service and change my plan, my ticket was created and elevated as well. It's only been 2 days, I'll just keep going without TV (cord cutter--only have internet and zero cable: this is my only form of network) and be patient until they hopefully do the same and resolve this. Thank you!

I’ve been fighting this since 7/1. Spent over 4 hours between phone, chat and Twitter support, with no resolution. Redeemed the offer but have never gotten the prompt to activate. 

Had a case opened on 7/1 that has apparently had no activity. I’ve been following up every couple of weeks, and it seems that every time I do, I a starting the process over. 

Very frustrating company to deal with.

Follow-up as well...

An elevated ticket did the trick. On day 5 they called me back and the issue appears to be resolved as my previously-activated Peacock subscription is now connected to my account and shows "Peacock Premium - Billed by Xfinity". So if anyone else has this problem, customer support can not help you, you must submit an elevated ticket to get somebody smart to look at your account.

There is no "direct message" icon, bell or anything else described.  Typically Xfinity tells you things like this to get the customer to move on and leave them alone while the customer tries to find the resolution offered (which does not exist).  

I've been trying to get my "free" Peacock as a platinum customer since the Spring.  The customer service people always tell me they are opening a ticket and Peacock will call me which they have never done.  Offering this "reward" seems to be geared to driving customers so crazy they will have to seek therapy.  I also want you to know that your "rewards" stink.  After I pay my bill I don't have any money left to travel and use them. I'd like a few free movies instead.  That is something I might be able to use IF it would work.

Almost the same thing happened to me. Activated my platinum rewards for free peacock. Never got an email. Have spent about 16 hrs 6 different times  trying to explain to xfinity I do not have peacock eventhough it's showing on their end. An escilation ticket was created 3 seperate times and still have heard FROM NO ONE!!!! This is beyond frustrating.  Xfinity doesn't give a shit about their customers. Time to look for another service because they are the WORST!!

I am having the same issue signing up for the free Peacock Premium that I qualify for. I have followed all the recommendations from above after consultation with customer support. A service ticket was produced to escalate this to another team approximately 2 weeks ago but to date no response.  I had to end up signing up with Peacock Premium and paying monthly for their service until this issue is resolved. I would really appreciate some help in solving this issue.

my bad i assumed that it was okay if it wasn't any direct person's account and that the support account was open like support accounts usually are on social media. noted. 

edit: btw just to source so it doesn't look like I'm trying to grief, I did read the do's and don'ts commonly posted guidelines and didn't see anything about it outside of any specific/particular persons. i get unsolicited dm's to personal accounts that makes sense just wasn't clear if that applied to the general 'xfinity support' bid.

I am having the same isue and all the tell me is that I claimed the reward but no one can get me logged in without signing up for a plan.  I have made numerous calls and still no Peacock.  I get promised they will call back from technical support which one time they did and that person was no help.  Still waiting on another call back once they have a "meeting"  that was over 3 weeks ago  It is now October and still not able to watch my free Peacock.   Shame on Xfinity and your extremley poor cusotmer service.

Hello, I posted a comment almost a month ago to no response.  I've placed various tickets through other means and I keep getting denied.  I am a platinum subscriber and keep being denied the service your web site says I am eligible for.  This customer service experience has been an absolute nightmare.  How can I receive a response from an actual human being to discuss this?  I keep getting ignored.

Thank you.

I am having the same issue as everyone else, very frustrating as a long and loyal Xfinity customer (Platinum). I claimed the reward, but the "banner" never shows up in the Xfinity Assistant. Tried Xfinity support and Peacock Support with no help to get this resolved, its been 3 months back and forth with nothing.  I'm happy to submit a direct message, which is suggested above, but I do not have a direct message icon in the upper right hand of my screen, next to the bell icon. Can I get some guidance on how to submit a direct message?
