Peacock Plus Removed from my account

Recently I was at the local Xfinity store and one of the folks there, who was extremely helpful getting my wife a new phone and my son added to our plan as well as adjusting our channel lineup, accidentally cancelled our subscription to Peacock Plus, which has been free due to our platinum rewards level.  I tried to get this reestablished on my own but kept running into messages indicating that I'm either not eligible or I already have the reward.

Finally, after about 45 minutes of trying on my own, I called for assistance. I worked with the customer service rep for about an hour and fifteen minutes. I was told I would get a call at 5 the next day, but did not.  I got a message the following day saying my ticket was still open and I'd get an email when it was done.  I called after 5 days and was told it'll take another 15-20 for resolution. 

When I can add Showtime to my account in a few minutes why is it taking weeks and hours on the phone to add Peacock Plus back when, after all, it was a Comcast employee who cancelled it by mistake in the first place?

@user_121945 Oh my, the access is not something an agent can add or remove on an account. The account status grants the access to the Peacock Premium service upon meeting criteria, such as being a long time customer or having Gig speeds. 

Ensure you visit peacocktv.com to log in. Remember the Peacock email and password may not be the same as the Xfinity credentials. You may need to try multiple email addresses. Once logged in, click Account Settings from the Who’s Watching page. Select Plans & Payment and check the subscription status under Your Plan. You want to find the one that says the plan is billed by Xfinity. That will be the one with the full access.

They absolutely cancelled my Peacock Premium. 

On June 29th, while I was in the Xfinity store, I got an email with the title "Thanks, here is your Xfinity order confirmation" and in that email it clearly says "Peacock Premium      Cancelled".  This was the change the associate, <Edited: PII> made to my account when we told him we wanted to keep HBO/Max but get rid of the "rest of the premium channels".  Of course we didn't mean Peacock Premium which we were getting for free because we, like you said, met certain criteria, specifically by being Platinum status.  I also received an email from Peacock a day later saying "sorry you're leaving but hope you'll come back one day".

I followed your instructions but there is no option for "billed by Xfinity".  

In short, we've had it for years, it was accidentally cancelled, and there appears to be no way to restart it without having to pay for it ourselves. I suspect it's because we already redeemed the reward for free Peacock Premium (a few years ago) and the system doesn't anticipate anyone canceling that because it's free, so they never built a mechanism to restart service.  Whatever the case, I have tried through my account on Xfinity, on my account on Peacock, from my Xfinity menu on my TV, by calling support, by going back into the store where <Edited: PII> accidentally cancelled it, and by reaching out here, but I am unable to resolve this on my own.  

Finally just to make sure I'm conveying this correctly, when I go into Peacock, I have an option for Peacock Premium at $5.99/mo. Premium Plus at $11.99/mo. And the same two options with an annual price.  I would be happy to share the email with the account changes (from when I was at the store), the Peacock email saying "sorry you left", screenshots of my Peacock account, or anything else that could help resolve this if I am giving a way to do so.  

Thanks for the reply but it's still not resolved and this happened on June 29th.  That feels like an inordinately long time, but maybe things just take that long. I admit I don't understand the intricacies of the process.

Just wanted to add that I see the name of the associate with whom I worked has been removed and I want to be clear that he was one of the best customer service representatives I've ever worked with in any company, not just Xfinity. If I sounded derogatory in any way, I didn't mean to. His mistake was surely an easy one to make and I don't fault him for it. He, otherwise, saved my wife and I a lot of money and was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, personable, and otherwise top-notch professionally!  

I don't want to leave the impression that he was anything other than a 10 out of 10 individual.

user_121945, I apologize that you felt that way when the post was edited. It was not taken that way at all! You were just explaining what happened. We keep names out of the Xfinity Forums to protect everyone. We ask for any personal details once we are in a Direct Message so it is private and secure. You can see our Xfinity Forums Acceptable Use Policy here which goes over that and other details of posting in the Forums. We are happy to dig into this further and look forward to see a DM come through from you!
