user_j0mg2l Thank you so much for stopping in for help with activating your Peacock promotion. If it has been more than 2 hours since your plan was updated with the new promotion, you should be able to redeem the offer here with your primary Xfinity ID.

Could you tell me where in the process you run into the error?

When logged in on the Xfinity website, and under the “your Xfinity stream store subscriptions”, I click on the blue banner that says “Activate”.  A pop up comes up for peacock and after getting the three dots for a moment it says “something unexpected happened.  Please close this pop up and try again.  If the problem persists please try again later”.  I have tried for a couple days now.  I have cleared my cache.  Logged out and logged back in.  I was previously a peacock subscriber.  I have since cancelled my subscription.  Logged out of peacock just in case that was causing an issue.

Perfect! Thank you for letting me know where the error is popping up for you. Are you connected to your home network when attempting to redeem the offer, or are you using a mobile device with cellular data?

Same issue here. I've used multiple devices, multiple networks, it has to be something on Xfinity or Peacock's end.
