Peacock premium activation issues with gigabit internet service.

I have the gigabit internet which includes peacock premium service. However I am unable to activate it. If I try to active using xfinity.com/activate-peacock, it says that account is already active and forces me to pick one of the two paid plans.

I looked through various posts in the forum and often found a response from xfinity that please DM us using a chat icon on top right corner of the forums page but I don't see an option to DM xfinity. I have reached out to xfinity over the phone and chat multiple times over the past few days but apart from apologizing profusely, they aren't able to do much except create a ticket. Earlier today when I called customer care, the information provided on the ticket created last week was written by someone who seemed to have a tenuous grasp on english language. I don't think anyone could have understood what was written in the ticket. The chat agents are so slow to response as if they are dealing with 100s of customers at once. When I asked for how I might be compensated for this bad service, the response was that its complimentary so you get diddly squat.

Hello, @user_jf83ve thank you for taking the time out of your day to create a post, I know how frustrating it can be when you're trying to get an issue resolved and not getting the assistance you need to help resolve the issue. I definitely want to help you be able to access your Peacock Premium subscription. 

 

From experience, when the activation site is saying it is already active. Customers I've worked with have at one time had a Peacock Premium account active with an email address and password. A lot of times and from personal experience the email address isn't one normally used. I had an old Xfinity email address attached to mine, where I use my Yahoo email as my preferred for all my account set-ups/communication. 

 

- Did you ever at one time have an active Peacock account?

 

Peacock also has a wonderful support team online, they were able to help me get back into my Peacock Premium: https://www.peacocktv.com/help/article/contact-us-in-customer-service.

Thanks for your response. I never paid for the premium service. I might have had complimentary premium service which was attached to the same email account. Moreover, I tried using both my preferred email as well as the comcast.net email. None of them seems to work and lands me in the same spot where the peacock account says that the account is already active and that I have to pick from the one of the paid services. Please tell me what are the next steps to make it work.

Wow and here is the classic customer service from xfinity. It’s time to give up any hopes I had to get this fixed and perhaps file my grievance somewhere so that other people don’t fall in this trap.
