Peacock Activation Error

I recently signed up and paid for the premium peacock subscription add on. However, every time I go to the subscriptions page to activate it, I get an error message. This has been happening for about a week. Everytime I try to chat about it, it doesn't understand what I'm saying and won't connect me to a real person. Help!!

Here's the error message I get:

user_qjhj4y Good morning! Can you try these steps for me?

1. Log in to your account on xfinity.com, then open Xfinity Assistant: xfinity.com/xfinityassistant
2. Click Activate Now on the banner that states, "Your Peacock subscription is ready for activation." If you don't see the banner, try typing in "Peacock Premium Activation".
3. You will be redirected to Peacock, so you will want to finish activation on the Peacock site.
Note: You must use the primary email address associated with your Xfinity ID to redeem this Peacock offer. If you use another email address, the system won’t recognize the offer as valid. 

After activating in the Xfinity Assistant, you will want to finish the set up via Peacock by doing the following:

1. Visit https://www.peacocktv.com/ and click “Sign In” 
2. Enter the email address and password associated with your Peacock account (this may be the same login as Xfinity, it may not be. If you have multiple email addresses, I would try them all. You can also select “I don’t know my password” if necessary.)
3. After signing in, you will be able to confirm if you have access to the site. (You can do additional double-checks on account as well by clicking “Account,” navigating to “Plans & Payment”, and confirming monthly charges = $0.00)

There was no banner in the xfinity assistant so I typed what you said and it just gave me the same directions I've been trying all week. See below for copy of the xfinity assistant response:

To activate Peacock Premium through an Xfinity promotional offer, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Xfinity account at xfinity.com/yoursubscriptions.
  2. Go to the Xfinity StreamStore and click Activate next to Peacock Premium.
  3. Enter your desired email for your Peacock account and click Continue.
  4. Create a password and provide other details, then click Activate. If you have an existing account, sign in with your credentials.
  5. Start watching Peacock Premium content.

If you need to change your email, follow the unlinking process in your account settings.
For more details see: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/peacock-premium-offers

These steps are not working, so I'm just stuck in a loop of errors at this point.

Sorry that you're still getting stuck, user_qjhj4y. Can you tell us which step you're getting stuck on? Is it specifically when you click "Activate" or is does it happen at a different point?

When I am on the subscriptions page, I can see that I have a Peacock Premium subscription and a purple activate button next to it. Every time I click activate, I get the original message shown in my post.
