How to Lower Your Peacock Bill

Peacock has a recorded lower-bill opportunity worth about $6/month (about $60/year) if you downgrade from Premium Plus to Premium, or $9/month (about $90/year) if you move from Premium Plus to Select. Switch from Premium Plus to Premium first if you still want sports, movies, and Peacock Originals but can live with ads; move to Select only if you mainly want NBC and Bravo TV favorites.

Negotiation / Downgrade Playbook

  1. 1

    Compare what you actually use: Select is the cheapest tier, but it excludes live sports, movies, and Peacock Originals.

  2. 2

    Downgrading from Premium Plus to Premium preserves sports, movies, and Peacock Originals while cutting the monthly price by $6.

  3. 3

    If you keep Peacock long term, compare monthly pricing with the annual plan pricing that Peacock describes as 12 months for the price of 10 on Premium and Premium Plus.

  4. 4

    If you already have an annual Peacock plan, Peacock says the new subscription starts after your current annual plan ends.

What to Watch Out For

  • Select drops live sports, movies, and Peacock Originals, so it is a much narrower service than Premium or Premium Plus.
  • Premium Plus is not fully ad free because Peacock lists limited exclusions where ads remain.
  • Annual-plan changes do not start immediately; Peacock says a new subscription begins after the current annual plan ends.
