Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account.

I transferred services from one house to another. Peacock access was included as part of my internet subscription at both houses. However, when I try to activate Peacock I receive the error "Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account." These are the steps I take:

  1. Login to xfinity.com
  2. Navigate to https://www.xfinity.com/yoursubscriptions
  3. Select "Activate" next to Peacock (where the status is "Activation Required")
  4. Enter the email address associated with my Peacock account
    • This is the same account I was using the day before transferring houses - the avatars and viewer profiles all match
    • There is no other email address associated with Peacock
  5. Enter my password on the following page
  6. Review the error "Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account."

Not sure what to do here as Peacock support said I need to reach out to Xfinity Support

@Mgzero69 Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums! It sounds like it may be an issue where the accounts are still linked, and this can happen after a transfer of service. Can you please follow the directions in this link here to unlink your accounts and then attempt activation again?

@user_7e9v9p Our team can help. Have you tried all the email addresses you own to see which email account the Peacock subscription is linked to?

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon. 
Click the "Start new conversation" (pencil and paper) icon. 
In the "To:" line, type "Xfinity Support".

An "Xfinity Support" graphic will replace the "To:" line. 
Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window. 
Press Enter to send it.

I've been having this same exact issue for months. I believe my peacock account is linked to my comcast email address that i  never use. Now that it is most likely inactive, i could never recover that account. Setting up a new peacock account with a different email address doesn't work either to access peacock because its still link to my comcast.net account. How can customers in my situation take advantage of peacock which is included in our service when we can't get access to the comcast.net email anymore.
