Peacock Gift Card: How It Works and How to Redeem It

Summary: Peacock has official digital gift cards that pay for Peacock Premium or Premium Plus. They are delivered by email or text, and you redeem them at peacocktv.com/gift-cards or on your account page. The value is applied to each billing period until it runs out, and Peacock says its gift cards do not expire.

• Official Peacock gift cards are digital only and sold through Peacock's website.
• They work for new and existing subscribers who pay Peacock directly.
• Subscriptions billed through Apple, Google or a cable provider cannot use them.
• Once added, the gift card is the primary payment method until it is used up.

Does Peacock Have Gift Cards?

Yes. Peacock, NBCUniversal's streaming service, sells digital gift cards on its own website. Checkout is handled by a third-party partner, and the card is sent to the recipient by email or text, so there is nothing to ship. The card can be used on any Peacock Premium or Premium Plus plan.

How to Redeem a Peacock Gift Card

• Open the link in the gift card email, or go to peacocktv.com/gift-cards.
• Enter the redemption code and select Redeem.
• Sign in to your Peacock account or create a new one.
• Choose a plan if you are new. Existing subscribers see the value as account credit.

Already a subscriber? You can also add the code from the Plans and Payment section of your account. Peacock's gift card help article covers order tracking and payment questions.

What a Peacock Gift Card Pays For

The credit covers your monthly or annual Peacock subscription. If the gift card balance covers the full charge, you can choose whether to add another payment method for later. If it does not cover the full amount, you will need to add a card or PayPal to complete the payment. The balance is not spent on anything outside Peacock.

Who Cannot Use a Peacock Gift Card

If you pay for Peacock through the App Store, Google Play, Roku, Amazon or a TV provider bundle, your billing is controlled by that partner, not Peacock. In that case, cancel through the partner at the end of the period, then subscribe directly on Peacock's website to use the gift card.

Getting More Out of a Peacock Subscription

Peacock is a big draw for live sports. If the person you are gifting follows high school games, the NFHS Network streams those, and a pair of Cowin Audio headphones makes late-night viewing easier on everyone else in the house.

Before You Send One as a Gift

Check that the recipient is in the US, since Peacock streams there, and ask how they pay today. If they subscribe through a phone or TV app, a streaming gift card they can use through that store is often the simpler choice.
