Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account

I recently sold my home over a month ago, so I had to cancel my Xfinity account. Now, I have moved to a new place and setup a new Xfinity account. Peacock Premium is included with my Internet plan. When I try to activate, I get the error message: Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account. How can I get this resolved and activate my included Peacock Premium service?

Hello, user_yyacrf! Thank you for taking Xfinity with you into your new home! You may need to manage your existing subscription to avoid multiple active subscriptions and corresponding charges. For instructions on canceling your existing subscription, see peacocktv.com/help/article/cancellation. Please let me know if this helps.

@XfinityThomasA​ Thank you, but I have tried that process already. When I log into my Peacock account, it shows that I do not have any active subscriptions.

You're welcome, user_yyacrf. Are you using the email you used to begin your new services to activate your Peacock included with your service? Is it the same email when you log into your Peacock account?

@XfinityThomasA​ Yes, it is the same email address from all of them: previous Xfinity account, new Xfinity account, and Peacock account.

user_yyacrf This specific error usually happens because the Peacock login is still "holding on" to your previous account's credentials. I would love to get this synchronized with your new service so you can start enjoying your shows! Because this involves updating the link between your Xfinity ID and your Peacock profile, I’ll need to access your account details. Could you please send a direct message and provide your full name and the service address for your new home?
 

To send a "Direct Message":

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon at the top of the page (it looks like a text bubble)

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list that appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it

That "already linked" error usually happens because a Peacock account is already tied to you through Xfinity, either from a past trial, a previous promotion, or an old email address. What happens when you sign in to Peacock, does it show subscription required @user_zvdkf7?

Yes. Peacock says I am NOT subscribed, and Xfinity says I have NOT linked/activated a Peacock account. There is an "activate" button on Xfinity. But when I click the button, I get an error message that says "Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account". I asked Peacock support, and they said there is a problem with my Xfinity account.

Going on the message from @XfinityChristy, it looks like there is some way that Xfinity support figured out how to fix this for other people? If you could figure out what they did to fix this, that would be great please. Thank you @XfinityQuemekia!
