Peacock Streaming Activation Issues

Hello,

I am trying to activate my peacock subscription through the link on the xfinity streaming site, however when entering an email on the peacock site it says that:

"Your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account"
I can't find a way to unlink that other account to allow me to link to the desired account.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Good evening @ajgilliam,and thank you for reaching out to us on our Community Forums regarding your Peacock activation concerns—we appreciate you contacting us. I see that you’re receiving an error indicating that your Xfinity account is already linked to another Peacock account.

 

To help narrow this down, may I ask if you recently transferred your service by chance? 

 

Additionally, have you tried unlinking Peacock from your Xfinity account by following these steps?

  1. Sign in at xfinity.com
  2. Go to Account > Subscriptions
  3. Locate Peacock
  4. Select “Unlink”

Once unlinked, you should be able to go through the activation process again. Please let us know if you’ve already tried this or if you run into any errors—we’ll be happy to help with the next steps if needed.

Hello,

I did not recently transfer service. And there is not an option to "unlink" it simply says "activate"

Got it @ajgilliam, and thank you for confirming that information, we appreciate it. Are you able to try clearing your browser cache or attempting the activation in an incognito/private browsing window? Sometimes stored browser data can interfere with the activation process.

 

Let us know the results, and we’ll be happy to help with the next steps if needed.

I tried using a new browser and private browsing and I am still prompted that my subscription requires activation. Upon following it to peacock I get the same error that the account is already linked.

Hopefully we can force an unlink so I can just start over.
