I want to get in on this deal. I've tried looking at all sorts of things.
Opening my peacock account tells me I have to manage my subscription via Xfinity.
Searching more tells me to goto settings on the set-top box and view subscribed apps. I forget the words to say into
the remote. But the TV box show in subscriptions I have no subscriptions.
The last months bill shows no billing for Peacock.
Tech support, the dumbest person I have talked to didn't know about this change to Peacock however after an hour she
finally said that Xfinity automatically subscribes people to the 2.99 deal.

I still don't think something is right though since I can't see any billing or subscription.

Anyone else going through this?

I'm sure that is not true.

I've enjoyed Peacock, but I'm not planning to subscribe (I've got
enough TV to watch.) I've received two emails from Xfinity about the
Peacock transition.

============

From June 7:

An update on Peacock Premium
Effective June 26, 2023, NBCUniversal will no longer include Peacock
Premium with your Xfinity service at no extra cost. To re-subscribe to
Peacock Premium starting June 26, say �Peacock� into your Voice Remote.
If you re-subscribe through Xfinity between June 26 and August 25,
2023, you�ll receive Peacock Premium at the discounted rate of $2.99/mo
for 12 months before being billed at the regular monthly rate. �
============

From June 27:

An update on Peacock Premium
Peacock Premium is no longer included with your Xfinity service. If
you�d like to re-subscribe, say �Peacock� into your Voice Remote or
visit the Peacock app on X1 or Flex.
If you re-subscribe through Xfinity before August 25, 2023, you�ll
receive Peacock Premium at the discounted rate of $2.99/mo for 12
months before being billed at the regular monthly rate. �

Got the same ones, but saying peacock just brings peacock up. The tech led me to think that some menu should come up
and give you ways of changing your subscription to this 2.99 deal. No on my set, they even forced my Set top box to
reload. Thanks.

I got a notice that since I was a certain level Rewards Member with
Xfinity I could get Peacock Premium for free starting June 26. I had a
link to my Rewards page. I went there and was able to Peacock Premium
for free. Then I got an email later with a link to "Activate" my
Peacock Account. I only use Peacock on my Roku Ultra not through
Xfinity devices. I only use 2 Tivos with Xfinity. I do not own any of
Xfinity equipment. I have my own Modem, Routers and Tivos.
