Some Notes from User Experiences
-
Some users report difficulty reactivating the student discount or encountering verification errors such as “Verification Limit Exceeded.” Occasionally, live chat with Peacock customer service helped users re-up the code.
-
Others note that the discount might not be applicable if their subscription is billed through a third party (e.g., Apple), which may require canceling and signing up directly through Peacock to use the promo code.
-
There are anecdotes of users being offered only $4.99/month instead of the $2.99 student rate—likely due to a technical glitch or incorrect link—for which support escalation was necessary.
