Peacock Coupon Code: Stream for Less in September 2024
A Peacock subscription might not seem like a huge investment: $7.99 a month for a wide range of TV shows, movies, live sports, and more? Perfectly reasonable. But we're not reasonable people — just ask our families — and if there's a coupon code available that'll cut that price down to size, you'd best believe we'll let you know about it. So read on for our guide to Peacock coupon codes, from student and military discounts to Black Friday specials.
Top Peacock Deals
Instacart+ w/ Peacock Premium Membership
Free 2-week trialSign up for a 2-week trial of Instacart+, and along with free delivery on grocery orders of $35 or more, lower service fees on all orders, and more besides, you'll also be able to avail of Peacock Premium for those two weeks. That's the closest Peacock comes to offering a free trial. (If you don't cancel within the two weeks, the whole subscription, including Peacock, will continue at $99 per year.)
Peacock Premium Student Discount
Price: $1.99 per monthStudents can show off their frugal sensibilities by taking advantage of this deal, which provides a Peacock Premium subscription for just $1.99 per month for the first 12 months. (After that, you'll have to start paying the then-current rate, or you can cancel your subscription to avoid that.)
Peacock Premium Military Discount
Price: $2.99 per monthYou'll have to verify your military status, but when you do you'll be able to snag a Peacock Premium subscription for just $2.99 per month for the first 12 months. However, after 12 months, you'll be charged the then-current rate unless you decide to cancel.
What to Know About Peacock Coupon Codes
What Peacock Coupon Codes are Available?
While there's no hard and fast rule on Peacock coupon codes — they can offer one at the drop of a hat bearing the iconic NBC logo, available now in the 30 Rock gift shop — right now, the only way to get a Peacock discount with a coupon code is to qualify for the student, military, first responder, or teacher discounts. For each of these discounts, you have to verify your identity using SheerID. That'll grant you a unique coupon code which'll cut the price of your subscription toot sweet.
But outside of those discounts, we do occasionally see coupons that aren't tied to any particular vocation; most recently, a (sadly now-expired) coupon earned you four months of Peacock for $4.99 a month, but we also saw an entire 1-year subscription for $20 back in June. (A coupon also cut a 1-year subscription to $30 back in January.) And those are just from this year alone.
Deal | Price | Notes |
---|---|---|
Peacock 2-Week Trial | Free | Available as part of an Instacart+ free trial |
Peacock Premium Student Discount | $1.99 per month for 1 year | Verify with SheerID to get a coupon code |
Peacock Premium Military Discount | $2.99 per month for 1 year | Get a unique coupon code by verifying with SheerID |
Peacock Premium Teacher Discount | $2.99 per month for 1 year | Use SheerID for verification to get a unique coupon code |
Peacock Premium First Responder Discount | $1.99 per month for 1 year | Oh hey: you gotta use SheerID to get a coupon code |
How Long Do Peacock Promo Codes Last?
Peacock coupon codes, outside of the student and military discounts and such, are generally pretty short-lived. Think two to three days, on average. We have on record a code that lasted a week, but that was over a year ago. In general, if you see a Peacock discount that requires a coupon code, don't waste any time — it's probably not long for this world.
How Do Peacock Codes and Deals Compare?
The majority of Peacock savings you'll be able to rack up outside of coupon codes come from bundles, whether that's with other streaming services, or with completely separate services, like Xfinity internet or an Instacart+ membership.
For example, Xfinity post-paid Internet or Xfinity TV subscribers can get the Xfinity Streamsaver bundle, which gives you Netflix Standard (with ads), Peacock Premium, and Apple TV Plus, all for $15 a month, which is a $10 savings over subscribing to each service separately. If you're being ruthlessly egalitarian, that's a savings of $3.33 per month on Peacock, which would cut it to $4.66 a month, or $55.92 a year. (That's a $24 savings compared to Peacock's annual subscription.)
Comparing that against Peacock's own coupon codes — which, as you'll recall, offered 1-year subscriptions for as little as $20, the codes clearly come out on top. (As you'd expect, since they're limited-time offers, as opposed to relatively perennial perks.)
How to Use a Peacock Promo Code
It's easy, really.
- Select either the Premium (ads) or Premium Plus (mostly ad-free) plan
- Create a Peacock account, with your name, e-mail address, password, and birthday
- At checkout, you'll see a "Have a promo code?" prompt, where you can enter your coupon code for those sweet sweet promotional discounts
You can also add a coupon code to your account at any time by going to your Plans and Payments tab.
More Ways to Stream Peacock for Less
Opt for an Annual Membership
A regular, non-discounted monthly subscription to Peacock Plus costs $7.99, and if you opt for Premium, that goes up to $13.99. Opting for an annual subscription drops the Plus plan to $79.99 a year, and the Premium plan to $139.99. That's a savings of $16 for Plus, and $28 for Premium — basically, the equivalent of getting two months free at either tier.
Sign Up for the Ad-Supported Plan
If you don't need your viewing to be ad-free, I both envy your carefree attitude, and encourage you to opt for the Plus tier over the Premium tier. Looking at the prices we listed in the last section, that'll save you $6 monthly, or $60 annually. A tidy sum.
Look for Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals
Black Friday is always a great time to look for huge savings, and Peacock is no exception. Last Black Friday, we saw two coupon codes for Peacock Plus. One dropped the monthly cost to $1.99 for 12 months (with the option to cancel at any point), and the other dropped the annual price to $19.99. While it's worth noting that Peacock's regular monthly price was only $5.99 at the time, that's still a strong discount.
Do a Free Trial of Instacart Plus With Peacock
Peacock used to provide a 7-day free trial, no strings attached, but sadly no longer. But where there's a will there's a way, as the old saw goes, and if you're an industrious enough online shopper to do your grocery shopping through Instacart, you might be interested in an Instacart Plus subscription. More specifically, you might be interested in their 2-week free trial, and since that Instacart Plus subscription also includes a free subscription to Peacock Plus, you get to enjoy Peacock for free for those two weeks. Huzza!
Take Advantage of Peacock Bundles
There are also a number of ways to get Peacock as part of a bundle, including:
- Xfinity Streamsaver: As we mentioned above, Xfinity post-paid Internet or Xfinity TV subscribers can opt for this plan, which gives you Netflix Standard (with ads), Apple TV Plus, and Peacock Plus for $15 a month, a $10 savings.
- Xfinity internet customers, with Gigabit or higher speed service, can get free access to Peacock for two years. Two whole years! That's $180 saved.
- NOW TV customers may also be eligible for Peacock Premium to be included as part of their service.
