Xfinity account link issue with Peacock - Error PPG_0017

Hello, I am receiving an error trying to link my Xfinity account to Peacock when activating the platinum member benefit.

This starting occurring after I moved my service to a new address, previously this was no issue. I believe Peacock still thinks that my account is linked to an Xfinity account associated with my previous service address but it's actually the same account. Is this a Peacock issue or an Xfinity issue?

This is very similar to what is discussed in this thread.
I would send a direct message about this as suggested there, however it appears my account does not have access to this feature as the chat icon is missing, see attached image.

I believe some sort of manual account benefit refresh may fix this issue.

Any advice is welcome to resolve this issue, thanks.

Hey @user_267cya, Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. With the recent account transfer/move, have you "Unlinked" the Peacock subscription with the previous address? You can follow the steps on our 'Activate Peacock Premium from an Xfinity or NOW promotional offer' support page using the steps shown under the "Forgot/Change Email" section.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I am unable to unlink my peacock account because the system currently believes it is not linked to any account. However, if I try to go through the activation process, peacock believes that my current email is linked to an Xfinity account.

Did this ever get solved? I'm running into the same issue after a move.

Hi @user_267cya! If you recently moved, have you tried signing straight into Peacock to check your status? If it tells you a subscription is required, I've had a few customers successfully activate theirs just by trying a secondary email address they use.

I had to send a message to Xfinity Support and request they open a support ticket. Nothing I could do on my own. They helped me resolve my issue. It took about 3 days.

@user_ek2vkg  Have you moved as well?

When was the last time you accessed your Peacock account?

Have you tried all the emails you have including email not associated with your Xfinity account such as iCloud, Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook etc.

Once your correct email login is discovered we can walk you through the steps to change it which I have below:

1.Go to the StreamStore through xfinity.com/yoursubscriptions.

2.Click Help & more info and click Unlink Peacock account

After clicking Unlink Peacock:

3.You’ll have to confirm the Peacock account you want to use.

4.Select No, please use another account to use a different email.

5.Enter the email you’d like to use.

6.Select Continue then sign in and activate your subscription. First we need to figure out the login.
