  • Existing member. Got the promo code and added it to the account. The terms make it seem like you have to cancel first, but that wasn’t necessary for me on a self-paid account. Kept the $6 ad-free upgrade. Pretty straight forward if you qualify.

  • At one time Peacock was offering deals like these to normal folk once you try to cancel your first months full price membershio. I wonder if they still do.

  • I like the ability to upgrade for $6/month to the Peacock Premium Plus which gives you commercial free and the ability to download tv shows and movies to your phone or tablet to watch offline. If I have a big trip, I will upgrade for the month and then fill up my iPad with stuff to watch.

    If you need some recommendations, I like watching the Traitors (US, UK, AUS, NZ seasons available).

    • Yes. I was surprised. But they sent me a 3 free month as a thank you. Yes I did pay the additional 6 dollars to avoid ads to watch the Olympics.
      Series on real estate are nice too.

    • Premier League is a big draw for us. And they have a decent collection of films. Our experience has been one ad at the start of a movie, and that's it. Can't really complain since we're getting it for free.

    • Assuming you're not 60 years old and an absolute "I come home to watch The Traitors and New Amsterdam" cable goblin because then you'd already be a lock, Peacock principally attracts:

      • Soccer fans
      • Reality TV
      • Below Deck, Love Island, etc
      • CNBC type stuff
      • I don't think they have the Shark Tank rights due to Hulu, so wanna watch Marcus Lemonis ruin someone's life?

      I personally think it's a good service - middle of the pack content (better than Paramount but probably worse than Netflix for instance) but they keep offering it for this low rate. Disclosure I get it for free being married to an employee (nowhere near the Peacock product itself), but if I wasn't I would be getting it at this discount rate. I would not be getting it retail personally. Married to the company notwithstanding, I'm very curious to see them go through the "everyone is in at $1.99 so how do we convert them to $9.99" curve every streamer ends up going through.
