If you've been using Peacock TV, you probably found out about the price increase.
In the past two years, everything has gone up in price ... except Peacock TV. Now Peacock TV is going up in price.
I've had the service since it launched, mostly. Being an Xfinity Internet customer, I was able to get Peacock TV Premium for free.
When that went away in June, they still allowed Xfinity Rewards members of a certain level to get the Peacock Premium service for free. I'm at a qualifying level, so I got it. Yeah, there were a few glitches, but I have Peacock TV Premium for free.
Now, word is there is a price increase. And the word is from Peacock TV itself. An email came this week telling of the increase:
Thank you for being a Peacock subscriber. We wanted to let you know about upcoming changes to your subscription.
As of today, we are changing the price of Peacock subscription plans as follows:
As a current subscriber, you'll receive one additional month at the current price. The new pricing will be effective on your next billing date on or after August 17, 2023. If you are currently on an offer, your promotional pricing will continue through the end of the promotional period. Note that if you are on an offer and upgraded to Premium Plus for $5/mo., your price for the Premium Plus Add-On will increase to $6/mo. effective on your next billing date on or after August 17.
If you cancelled your subscription within the last 30 days, please disregard this notice; you will not be charged after the end of your current billing cycle.
To manage or cancel your subscription, visit your Account. For more information on how to cancel, visit www.peacocktv.com/help/article/cancellation.
Is it worth the price increase? That depends. I'm thinking it probably is. At lease, if you were willing to pay $5/month for Peacock Premium, you'll probably feel that $6/month is worth it.
My Streaming Life includes Peacock Premium as part of a rewards package. I'm not sure about paying the new prices. I think the Xfinity Rewards bonus is good for a year. If that's the case, I won't have to make a decision until a year from now.
