Unable to activate Peacock as a Platinum member (>5y service)

I have redeemed my Peacock subscription but am unable to access and activate it. When I go to https://www.xfinity.com/yoursubscriptions, I see Peacock listed but next to it, it says "Activate your Xfinity service first for access to streaming services." I have an active Xfinity internet service (and I'm using it to create this forum post).

Could you please let me know how I may resolve this issue?

Thanks,

user_1d907j Thank you for creating a post. Sorry to hear that you're having trouble activating your Peacock subscription. Can you provide what steps you've already tried when activating the subscription? have you gone through the steps in this Activation Article and receive any error messages or codes appearing on your web browser?

Thanks for the reply. I followed the steps and redeemed in https://customer.xfinity.com/membership.

Peacock now shows up in the membership page under "your redeemed benefits (1 active)". When I click on it, the popup window says "Nice! You've redeemed this benefit. Visit www.xfinity.com/yoursubscriptions to activate Peacock Premium if it's not already active."

However, in www.xfinity.com/yoursubscriptions, under "your xfinity stream streasmtore subscriptions", next to Peacock it says "Activate your Xfinity Service first for access to streaming services". I have Xfinity service, though, and the only reason I have the Peacock promotion is that I have active service as a Platinum (>5 years) member.

@user_1d907j, are you able to access content on the Peacock app after you went through the redemption process?

No unfortunately not. I am prompted to sign up for a paid subscription when I attempted to log in on the app or website.
