We’re aware some Xfinity Rewards, NOW TV and Gig customers are having difficulty activating their Peacock account. If you’re not seeing an activation banner on xfinity.com/account, please go to Xfinity Assistant and select Sign In. The activation banner should appear at the top of the chat and should work once you click it.

 

Please note: if you don’t see the banner in Xfinity Assistant and you’re a:

  • NOW TV or Gig customer: a payment may be needed to activate your subscription. You can check your account while in Xfinity Assistant and then try again.
  • Xfinity Rewards customer: you may need further assistance from an agent. You can chat with an agent while in Xfinity Assistant.

 

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for being an Xfinity customer

I see the banner, but when I click the link it goes to an offer not active page.

From their e-mail message, step #1 is to cancel your existing subscription, then step #2 is to use Xfinity Assistant to sign up for two years free.  But step #2 doesn't work.  I guess they don't want you to subscribe.

@mtn1​ I also followed their instructions and Xfinity Assistant doesn't show the "Activate Now" button they tell you to use.

Hi @mtn1 Thanks for reaching out. I would like to clarify if you're having issues with redeeming your rewards?

Having this same issue. I have spent over an hour chatting with 2 different agents who assured me that they could get this fixed. Today when I got the email about 2 free years of Peacock, I thought it was fixed. So I followed the link and signed into Xfinity assistant (that chat bot is garbage, btw) and there is no "activate now" link, no banner, nothing.

Please fix this. It's starting to feel like you are making this intentionally difficult so people will get frustrated and give up on redeeming the offer.
