peacock subscription activation impossible through Xfinity site.

Has anyone ever fixed this? I see a ton of questions and complaints about this all over the internet but no actual fix of the issue. I spent 5 useless hours on chat and on the phone with Xfinity customer service yesterday. Seriously the worst customer service experience of my life. Absolutely no one knew what they were doing and offered zero assistance. Bought the 1 gb plan specifically for the free Peacock for two years so I can watch Premiere League football matches but now that seems impossible. Xfinity website goes nowhere and the links customer service kept sending me on were useless as well. Any actual working advice appreciated.

I'm sorry to say, this is not generally a cut-and-dry situation, @user_yp8ior. If you just signed up for Gigabit service but are not getting the activation prompt, we may need to add the Peacock code to your account manually. If the code is there, but you are still not getting the activation prompt, there may be a different issue. It can vary from person to person, and from region to region. The only way for us to know for sure is by looking at your account and finding out what's missing, then taking steps to put things in order.

 sounds like your website is faulty. I mean, it obviously is faulty. There is no question about that. Can you guarantee someone with expertise will actually assist me? I'm done with starting from scratch talking with someone who is 15 time zones away who knows nothing about how to help with this and simply wastes by time with garbage texts and unhelpful phone support.

yeah, so the customer service you suggested is as equally inept as all the other customer service employees I dealt with yesterday. But even slower. They are taking 12-15 minutes between my text and their answer, then they say they are texting me a code but no code appears. Then ask for a new code and no answer for another 15 minutes. Xfinity is absolutely the most painful customer service experience I have ever endured.

Hi there, @user_f7kgtk  thank you for reaching out. I’m really sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve been having with logging into Peacock, and I completely understand how frustrating it must be to call multiple times without a solution. You should absolutely be able to access the service included with your Xfinity account without this much hassle. You came to the right place for assistance. Can you please send me a DM with your full first and last name along with your full service address so that we can look further into your Peacock concerns.-Richard

@user_f7kgtk​ yes, [Edited: Language] and cannot help and offer no compensation. We should be getting $10.99 refunded off of our bill every month because that's the cost of Peacock. No one with Xfinity will do this however and [Edited: "Inflammatory"]. They have wasted now a total of 8 hours of my life on this and offered me absolutely nothing. At the very end of a final conversation with someone they finally did tell me that "this is an ongoing issue and our engineers are working on it.". I had already found this out in a 12 second internet search. Instead of this being a 5 minute customer service experience it was 8 hours of [Edited: Language]. If their internet speed wasn't so fast I would cancel Xfinity tomorrow.

You will most likely have these problems forever. I see no fix for this and absolutely no one at Xfinity knows what they are talking about or are helpful in any way. I wrote this on their customer experience survey (or whatever the [Edited: Language] they call it): "Your chat and phone customer service is by far the worst experience of my life. Not just the worst customer service experience ever in my long years of being a customer but the worst experience on a communication device ever. Worse than my girlfriend breaking up with me over text from two timezones away, worse than hearing about my father dying from a hospital spokesperson. Your team completely wasted 5 hours of my life yesterday and got me absolutely nowhere. They should all be fired or retrained. Shougrakpam was especially horrible on chat. Forget all the [Edited: "Inflammatory"], "How's the weather there" and the promo info and the [Edited: "Inflammatory"]smiley faces, just help me fix the problem. The people I spoke with on the phone were equally unhelpful but I forget their names. My problem with Xfinity was never fixed.  (I signed up for a 1 gb plan to get free Peacock but your website is so [Edited: "Inflammatory"]it won't let me do it. A two minute internet search shows that this has been an issue with Xfinity for a long long time with no easy fix). At no point during the 5 hours I wasted yesterday did anyone even come close to even pretending to know what the [Edited: "Inflammatory"]they were doing. Not to mention, as soon as I finally was done with the phone support (which, again, went nowhere and was 100% unhelpful) I received 23 spam texts with the exact same "Here's the additional information you requested. Please follow this link to continue...". These all had the same link that was, again, totally unhelpful. After texting back, "Stop" I still kept getting the same bloody texts another 18 times. In total I had to text "Stop" four times and finally block the number to get out of this. Again, the worst customer service experience ever. Please deduct $10.99 from my bill every month for the next two years for the price of the Peacock subscription that I have to now pay because your website won't allow me to activate my subscription through Xfinity."

I can understand the frustration @user_yp8ior, there is currently a know issue with the offer for Peacock with the next gen plans. A fix for the issue is being worked on, but there is not an estimated time for when this will be resolved. Once there is a fix for the issue, we will reach out via direct message and let you know.

In the meantime please discount my monthly xfinity bill by $10.99. This is the amount Peacock charges. Xfinity promised something that they cannot deliver. What they promised now costs me $10.99/month. It is only fair to discount my xfinity subscription this amount.

I'm having the same issue. Two tickets have already been opened and it still has not been resolved. Calling customer service and chatting with someone has not worked. I'm still having the same issue.

Peacock Premium offer for diamond customer was activated but not working….

I’ve also tried EVERYTHING on my end for the past two months, with no success.


On the activation hub (Manage Subscriptions), it indicates the status is “active”, but when I visit the Peacock TV website and log in, it states that the Peacock Premium service costs $10.99 per month, rather than free as stated on my Xfinity monthly billing statements. I updated my Peacock login credentials to match my Xfinity login information. Unfortunately, this did not fix the issue.

As background, I cancelled my Peacock subscription (but not my account) in December 2022, well before Xfinity began offering the free Peacock Premium add-on to Xfinity Diamond members in June 2023.

Could you please review my account? I’d be happy to provide any needed account information via direct/private message. I look forward to hearing from you.


Thanks….
