How to register your payment details on Peacock US
We successfully managed to create a Peacock Premium account using an Android phone and ExpressVPN
During testing, I noticed that the Play Store did not change to the US version, even when creating a new account.
The way to get round this is by connecting to a VPN on the PC, signing into theGoogle Play Store US website, searching for the Peacock app and sending it to your phone (whilst still connected to the VPN).
We have had reports of people not being able to install US streaming apps on iOS as the app store forces users to register their payment details within the app store, and doesn’t accept UK PayPal if you try to register with this account.
If this happens to you, we recommend purchasing US App Store credit via a digital gift card – which can be added as a US payment option.
This can be bought from places such asAmazon US, though there are other retailers available – you’ll need a website that allows you to pay with UK bank details.
If you set your email address as the recipient, the code to redeem the money will be sent to your inbox. When you come to add the payment information, select ‘redeem gift card or code’, and you should be able to add the money as credit on your account.
With this, you should then be able to sign up for a Peacock account to watch Halloween Kills – and you should be able to change your payment information back to your UK PayPal via the website to avoid having to pay for a new gift card every single time.
Will Halloween Kills release on UK VOD services?
Halloween Kills won’t be getting a simultaneous UK streaming release once it hits Peacock. It likely won’t be available to rent/buy until at least a few months after its initial cinematic debut.
