Peacock Premium stopped working when services transferred to new address, says Xfinity account is already linked to another account.

I recently moved to a new unit within my building, and had "new" service activated with a new Xfinity account number (same plan, just a different unit in the building). Now I cannot activate the Peacock Premium which is part of my plan for the 2Gig Internet Plan I have. I had this working on the old account. How do we unlink the old account and link the new account??

I get the following message when trying to activate my Peacock Subscription.

Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account.

Any assistance would be appreciated! Thanks

Hello user_l1c8ff  was yours also during a service move, or just with the Gig service included? Are you an Xfinity Rewards member Diamond or above?

I am having the same issue. I get Peacock through gig service, and I moved down the street, no change in service except a few doors down. An Xfinity customer service rep sent me to talk to Peacock but Peacock's support has sent me like four emails telling me to talk to Xfinity even as I explained what the Xfinity rep explained. I've been working on this issue for like four days, just running in circles

@user_i6m60t Hello and good afternoon, thanks for posting about your reward and sharing the experience. We appreciate it and know how valuable it is, especially when you want to relax and enjoy some entertainment. The Peacock Premium is amazing, and I love how Xfinity customers can be rewarded with access. I hope the move was an easy one, it always helps to have friends and family make it easy. The access will remain as you are still the same customer. Were you able to transfer the same username to your new place and log in successfully to your Xfinity account? I found the steps to link the two accounts if they are separated here https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/switching-between-multiple-accounts.

In case anyone is looking, I encountered this issue after moving and I was able to reactivate my Peacock once I linked my two Xfinity accounts. The link they sent me with step-by-step instructions for doing this is here: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/switching-between-multiple-accounts. However, quick reference is: Log in to Xfinity --> Account in top right hand corner --> Account and Identity --> Xfinity ID and Security --> scroll down to Your Accounts and click on "Manage and link accounts."

After linking the two accounts, you can access your Peacock premium subscription with the same credentials you used before and just need to go back to the Xfinity/Peacock activate page. 

Hope this helps!

Interesting! Mine was linked post-move and it did not work.

What worked for me (finally), was to follow the activation steps and create an entirely new peacock account.

Xfinity support is inept at understanding this issue. Don’t bother opening a ticket (ECM) they will just close it and point you to the activation instructions.

What fixed mine was adding an alternate email to my xfinity account (one that was different than my original peacock account email). They used my email name at comcast.net. Once that alternate email was set up on my xfinity account. (You can have a main xfinity account email and an alternate at the sametime). I used the new email to activate peacock and it worked. Try setting up a second email. Attaching/linking that second email to your xfinity account and then using that email to log into peacock. It might take a day after you link the emails to sync up. I'm not sure if you can change the email yourself or the xfinity person needs to do it for you. Once you log into peacock successfully then you can change your preferred comcast email back to your original one. You just have to remember that to sign into your peacock account it will be with that alternate email.

I'm having the same issue. No one can seem to help.  Doesn't seem anyone is competent enough to handle this issue. How do so many people have this same issue and no one can fix it?!?
