PEACOCK - Something unexpected happened. Try refreshing the page. If the problem persists, please check back later.

I have been stuck with this error message when I try to access the peacock subscription activation. By way of context - I had peacock for free with my xfinity internet plan and that was still valid though 2/27/2027 - peacock worked fine with that plan until three days ago.  Three days ago I  "upgraded" by xfinity internet service to gig+, which included 3 years of peacock.  When that upgrade took effect, my subscription to peacock dropped off (I was in the middle of watching peacock when it happened) and now I cannot get the access back. I have tried troubleshooting for hours with three xfinity agents, reddit agents, peacock agents and on my own. I have tried 4 different devices (iphone, ipad, and two different laptops), 5 web browsers (chrome, safari, edge, duck duck go and incognito). Peacock shows no active subscriptions.  Xfinity shows I am eligible for peacock but there is no "activation" button. When xfinity sends me a link to "activate" I get the following error.  When I go to manage my subscriptions it lists peacock "included" but nothing in the "status" section (as in, no activate button AND NO ACTIVE STATUS showing). This is beyond frustrating. Why can't anyone resolve this issue?  I should have free peacock through gig+ and diamond membership, but neither is working.   This loop is endless and just want peacock to work again like it did three days before I "upgraded" my service.  Please help.  Of course, the "refresh" button does nothing and it's been three days like this.

Hello, @user_oizesj! I have helped a few others with this same concern with Peacock not working and not allowing you to re-activate it. In most instances the email address being used to access the subscription is different from what is currently being used to login to Peacock. A lot of times with our long term customers, this was the Comcast.net email address. 

 

When you do not see the activation button, the subscription should be activated already. I would like you to try something for me. You should be able to unlink the email address we have for your Peacock subscription. That would trigger the activation button to show on our website, so you can link the email you want to use. 

 

1. Please visit Xfinity StreamStore at www.xfinity.com/yoursubscriptions.

2. Login with the Primary or a Manager Xfinity ID.

3. Under the Peacock row, Look for the “Help and more info” section.

4. Select “Unlink your Peacock subscription or Unlink Peacock”

5. After that you would use these steps to activate it with your preferred email address, https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/peacock-premium-offers

 

Please let me know if you are able to unlink and then activate the subscription or if you are able to login and see the subscription at Peacock.

@user_oizesj​ oh it’s still not fixed. Their “engineers” have been working on my ticket for three weeks. Have had me try all sorts of things, nothing to do with my email address or user ID, which I knew from Day 1.  They finally got my account re-provisioned on Monday so the “activate” button shows up now (yay!) but when I click through the peacock pop up… nothing happens from there. This is all so comical to me at this point. 

Good luck with your account! I hope they can resolve it for you and if they do, please report back so I can tell them how to fix it!
