Peacock activation loop error (SAME as all these other posts!)

I am stuck in a Peacock activation loop (Error PPG_0017). Xfinity says I am already linked, but Peacock shows no subscription. I need an Entitlement Reset for my Peacock reward. Please check my account provisioning. I have tried clearing my browser's cache and cookies specifically for Xfinity AND Peacock, and using an incognito/private window, and trying a different browser.

I am stuck in the Peacock PPG_0017 provisioning loop. Xfinity shows Peacock Premium as Activation Required, but activation says my Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account. My existing Peacock account uses my longtime Comcast email and shows no active subscription. Phone support opened a ticket yesterday, couldn't fix it, closed the ticket this morning, and today told me to unlink through Peacock. There is no unlink option available to me. Please reset the Peacock entitlement/provisioning on the Xfinity backend.

Hello, @user_x4mqmk thank you for reaching out over Xfinity Forums. I appreciate all the information you've provided it's really helpful, and I'd definitely like to investigate the Peacock Premium account activation further especially if a previous ticket has already been closed. 

With the messaging about unlinking through Peacock, were these the steps provided that you mentioned aren't available when attempting:

 
- Go to the Xfinity StreamStore (https://www.xfinity.com/learn/digital-cable-tv/streaming-services) and log in with your Xfinity ID.
- Click Help & more info.
- Select Unlink Peacock account if available.

You are the 4th agent (5th?) who offered the same useless advice.  Click "Help and More info" is not anywhere on the screen activation screen, so "Unlink Peacock" is also inaccessible. You really need to fix your user interface.

I was able to connect to a live chat with Peacock support this morning, and they fixed it on their end after I explained what the root cause was over and over again.  This is apparently a well known issue, affecting countless of your customers.  You are tarnishing your brand.

I am glad to have access to Peacock now, but the activation process might have been the worst customer experience I have had in my life, certainly the worst in the 21st century.  And what made me even more angry was your agent this morning wouldn't take ownership of the problem.  She made me so angry I hung up on her.  It took over 3 hours to get Activated, a task that should take less than 1 minute.

Case closed.

@jpetrosji22 Are you receiving that same error as well or no? Have you had a Peacock account outside of Xfinity or no?

Good afternoon..

I'm having the same problem with Peacock activation. I have the option to use my Diamond rewards for Premium service, or the 2-year free with home gigabit internet. Neither option works, and I keep getting the same error message of "already being linked to another Peacock account". Trying to activate this service is apparently harder than being an honest politician. Where can I find the missing link to "unlink" my Peacock account?

There is no phone number to speak with any Peacock tech support, and I just talked to the nicest Xfinity tech support person ever but unfortunately she could not resolve this issue either. This seems to be a very simple problem that should have an equally simple solution. As a former employee, I know you have the resources to fix this. Let's make it happen please!!!
