Peacock gives teachers Peacock Premium for $7.99 a month for 12 months, down from the regular $12.99. If you teach, work as faculty or staff at a public or private K-12 school or university in the United States, and you’re 18 or older, you qualify. You verify through SheerID, get a one-time promo code, and use it to start or switch your Peacock account.
Premium has new movies from theaters, full seasons of Yellowstone and Suits, and live sports like Premier League soccer, Big Ten games and Sunday Night Football. You can watch on three devices at once and set up to six profiles with kid-safety settings, which helps if your own kids share the account.
How To Get The Peacock Teacher Discount
- Go to Peacock’s teacher page and choose Get Started.
- Verify your educator status. Peacock sends you to SheerID and shares your first name, last name, date of birth and school with it for the check.
- Once you’re verified, SheerID gives you a unique promo code. It works one time only, so keep it handy.
- Click Redeem Now to create your Peacock account and enter the code. You’ll need a credit card or PayPal account to finish.
- Already have a Peacock account? Sign in and apply the code on the Plans & Payments page of your account.
Check the total at checkout before you pay.
If You Already Pay For Peacock
Peacock says teachers who already have a paid subscription may need to cancel it before redeeming the offer. If you cancel before your current billing period ends, you won’t be charged for Premium on your next billing date. Look at what you’d give up on your current plan before you cancel anything.
What You Pay After 12 Months
After the 12 months, your subscription renews every month at $12.99 or whatever the retail price is by then, plus tax, until you cancel. Peacock requires verification every year. Teachers who still meet the requirements can renew the offer at the then-current teacher rate, so set a reminder a few weeks before your year runs out and verify again. If you don’t want to keep paying, cancel before the 12 months end.
Cash Back
ID.me lists up to $2.50 cash back at Peacock. It also warns that promo codes that aren’t from ID.me can void the cash back, and your teacher code comes from SheerID, so don’t count on getting both. If you’re after savings from other places, our cash back for teachers posts cover where it does work.
