:Finally got it to work. I am a long time Verizon FIOS Triple Play customer (TV, Internet, Landline), and had the same problems everyone else is reporting with the error messages, credit card not saving and the grayed out box making it impossible to accept the terms. Here is what I did.
-Download the "My Verizon" App.
-Open the App and Login with your Verizon Fios info.
-Click "Account" at the bottom
-Click "Bills"
-Scroll down and click "Saved Payment Methods"
-Click "Add Payment Method" and enter your credit card info.
-Make sure to save the info and Click Continue
-Now leave the App, open your browser and go to the Verizon +play website
-Then click the Peacock/Netflix offer.
-This time the credit card you just saved should be listed in the Payment Methods section.
-First I chose to Edit my Billing Address because even though the address might look correct, the First and Last name did not save. So edit your address to ensure your First and Last name are included. Then save and continue.
-Then select your credit card in the Payment Methods section, and again Click the Save and Continue button.
-NOW the checkbox at the bottom of the page should be clickable! So check the box and click the button to submit your order.
-Now just go to the "Manage" section of the +play website to link your existing (or create new) Peacock and Netflix accounts.
-Don't forgot the mark your Calendar to Cancel your services before the 1 Year Ends. You can Cancel via the +play website under the "Manage" section.
Note 1 - You MIGHT be able to add your payment type on the Verizon website without using the app, but it does not appear to save it unless you submit a 1 time payment at the same time. I could not do this because I am already setup with Autopay and I got a message saying I would lose that discount if I did that. So that is why the App is needed.
Note 2 - While I was able to see my newly saved credit card info on the +play website right away, you might need to wait 15 minutes or so for it to show up. So don't get discouraged if it's not there right away.
I have been fighting with this website for the past week trying to figure this out. Glad it is finally done. I hope this helps someone else.

Edit: Details say for new Peacock subscribers so I'll assume not.
Edited Edit: contacted peacock support and they prorated a refund and canceled my account. Then just followed the Verizon link and all worked like a charm.
My guess is, if you have EVER had a Netflix/Peacock/Starz deal, you can never again get a deal.
The fine print does not say this. I never got a definite reason why.

Dang it, Verizon.
Here's the text.
Netflix through +play. To get this offer, you must cancel your original subscription and wait until the end of the billing cycle (if the offer is still available.)

Mobile internet is much slower than my AT&T fiber. Post paid cellular is much more expensive than my $20/month on Mint.
Any hacks to get this offer without Verizon service??

My Netflix seems stuck from the Starz deal - it should have expired by 7/25 but it's still working and active. Want to connect this deal (signed up via spouse's account) but can't do that until Netflix account disconnects. Normally I wouldn't care about a free subscription
Worst case i'll just make a new NF account, but would prefer to maintain the history and saved stuff.

Sure, there may be some folks who may be forced to get a service from a primary provider and who dont realistically have another option - I can think of those who get their home internet service in this manner and who don't have a 2nd/3rd option locally that matches Verison (etc) on price, reliability, etc. But for those who are getting cellular service from one of the Big Three, I'm hopeful that they're doing so intentionally and not due to being ignorant of the other, much more affordable options that are out there.
Slick Deals IS about "deals", but it's also about peers helping peers become more fiscally responsible and learning how to stretch their dollars to get more bang for the buck. I consider it consumer education to help SDers learn that it's no "deal" to overpay for cellular just to get a small rebate in the form of discounted Netflix/Peacock... in the long run, you're still paying more than you need to.
Consider getting your phone service through a prepaid MVNO. I'll bet you'll be surprised at how much you can save - likely more than enough to get Netflix and Peacock and still pocket some cashola. Peace out.
