Xfinity doesn’t knock a percentage off your internet bill for military service. What it offers instead is a set of perks worth more than most monthly discounts: a free unlimited phone line for two years, a year of NOW TV live channels, and Peacock Premium included through its top membership tier. Most of it requires Xfinity Internet, and the mobile line offer has an end date. This guide covers what you get, who qualifies, how to verify and when the deal is worth it.
What the Xfinity Military Offer Includes
According to Xfinity’s military discounts page, verified members get:
| Perk | What it is | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited mobile line | One new line free for 2 years, via 24 monthly bill credits | Xfinity Internet |
| Diamond membership | Xfinity’s top membership tier, including Peacock Premium | Xfinity account |
| NOW TV | 125+ live channels plus On Demand, free for 1 year | Xfinity account |
The Free Mobile Line
The largest perk is an unlimited Xfinity Mobile line for two years. Xfinity applies it as 24 monthly bill credits equal to the value of one new line, limited to one per account. If you cancel the line or the 24 months end, the credit stops. Additional lines start at $30 a month.
Two details matter for military families. Xfinity Mobile normally requires Xfinity Internet, but Xfinity says it will waive the mobile-only access fee if you move somewhere Xfinity Internet isn’t available, which helps after a PCS. And the offer page lists an end date of November 30, 2026, so check whether it has been extended before you count on it.
Diamond Membership and Peacock
Verified members are upgraded to Diamond, the highest tier of Xfinity’s membership program, which includes Peacock Premium at no extra cost. If you already pay for Peacock, cancel or adjust that subscription so you aren’t billed twice. Peacock also runs its own military discount; our guide to streaming military discounts compares it with the other services’ offers.
NOW TV
NOW TV is Xfinity’s streaming live TV service, with more than 125 live channels and On Demand content. Verified military members get it free for one year. Taxes are extra, and you add it by signing in to NOW TV with your Xfinity ID.
Who Qualifies
Xfinity lists these groups as eligible:
- Active and Reserve members of the U.S. uniformed services
- Retired military
- Veterans
- Reservists
- Gold Star families
- Spouses and family members in the same household as someone who qualifies
That is broader than many programs. A veteran’s spouse who holds the household’s Xfinity account can verify through the veteran’s service.
How to Verify and Add the Offers
- Become an Xfinity customer first. The military page asks you to sign in. If you aren’t a customer, sign up for service at xfinity.com or by calling 1-800-XFINITY, then return to the military page.
- Sign in and verify your military status. Questions about a pending verification go to 1-833-231-6446.
- Wait for the perks to post. Xfinity says the Diamond upgrade takes up to 10 days, NOW TV access up to 10 days, and the mobile credit shows within one or two billing cycles after you add a line.
- Add each offer. Add a mobile line through Xfinity Mobile, sign in to NOW TV with your Xfinity ID, and activate Peacock Premium from your membership account.
Have proof of service ready before you start. Our guide on how to verify your veteran status covers the documents that work.
Is It Worth It?
It depends on whether you’d use the extras. The offer adds the most value if you:
- Already have, or want, Xfinity Internet. The mobile line requires it, and the internet bill itself isn’t discounted.
- Need a phone line. A free unlimited line for two years is worth more than most military internet discounts, if you’d otherwise pay for one.
- Watch Peacock or live TV. The Peacock and NOW TV perks only save money if they replace something you’d pay for.
If you mainly want a lower phone bill, compare carrier military plans too. Our guides to the T-Mobile military discount and Verizon military discount cover their military pricing, and our AT&T vs. Verizon comparison sets two of them side by side.
PCS, Deployment and Your Xfinity Contract
Separate from any discount, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act lets you end internet, TV and phone service contracts without early termination fees when military orders, such as a PCS or deployment, relocate you for 90 days or more to a location the service doesn’t cover. You give the provider written notice with a copy of your orders. Our guide to SCRA and MLA financial protections explains how to use it.
If your next duty station has Xfinity, ask about transferring service rather than cancelling; and if it doesn’t, the mobile-only fee waiver above means you can keep an Xfinity Mobile line after you move.
