Issue acknowledged

Fortunately, Xfinity support team has acknowledged the bug where Peacock Premium free offer is not working for some users.

We have also come across a workaround with the help of which you can activate your Peacock Premium account. It simply involves using a PC.

I got the email (gigabit customer) and it didn’t work on the mobile browser, it only worked when I was on my desktop PC. If you’re having problems on your mobile device, try on a desktop or laptop. Good luck everybody! I wish I would have taken screenshots but there was a new widget/button in the Xfinity assistant after I signed in that took me to a new page on Peacock to sign up. I hope everybody on here is able to sign up shortly!
