Why can't I link Xfinity account to Peacock account?

[moodyj66]

I have Xfinity TV Only with Digital Starter service and based on messaging from Xfinity, Peacock Premium should be bundled into my service at no additional cost.

I followed the instructions and set up a Profile at Peacock but when I tried to link my Xfinity account, I received the message "Sorry, your Xfinity service doesn’t include Peacock Premium".

I even double-checked which Xfinity services are eligible for free Peacock Premium service, and the FAQs clearly list one of the services as Xfinity TV Digital Starter or above. I don't have Xfinity Internet, but that isn't listed as a requirement for Digital Starter accessed through a third party.

Current customers have Peacock Premium (a $4.99 value) bundled at no additional cost if you have:

• Xfinity TV service and Xfinity Internet
• Xfinity Flex with your Xfinity Internet
• Xfinity TV-only (Digital Starter tier and above) on third-party devices such as mobile phones, tablets and PCs
• Xfinity Internet-only with Flex
  • Add a Flex device to your account at no additional cost to start using the app.

Can anyone confirm whether or not Xfinity TV-only with Digital Starter service really is eligible, and if it is, what needs to be done to fix the error? Thanks.

Can anyone from Comcast answer the question above? It would be nice to get some clarity. Thanks.

I have the same exact problem. Both xfinity and peacock confirmed I have correct xfinity account and equipment to get peacock plus. But the linking doesn’t work. I have to “recreate” my account everyone I access peacock from X1 and my viewing history is not saved. Xfinity claims it is a peacock issue. Peacock customer service is worse than Xfinity’s.

Same. I've restarted my flex box, signed out of peacock and signed back in, nothing works. Starting to be a big joke. Peacock and Comcast need to work together better and fix this. People shouldn't have to jump through tech support hoops just to link a simple account. Literally ridiculous.
