  Hi, I was reading the help section and ‘Each plan comes with one free domain credit.’ But I can’t find mine. I already tried checking Settings > Domains

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  WordPress.com is the domain here and all sites hosted by wordpress.com are on .wordpress.com free hosted sub domains like this one http://gavelph.wordpress.com/

  There are no monthly payment plans. We are billed annually and must pay up front at the time of purchase.

  See https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Note that each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed.

  We all pay in full for every upgrade at the time of purchase. Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Read Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and purchase upgrades at > Dashboard> Store > My Upgrades
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/

  Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/billing-history/

  Your only options for payment are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  WordPress.com provides a 30-day refund on all upgrades except Domain Registrations, Domain Renewals, and Guided Transfers. The refund period for Domain Registrations and Renewals is 48 hours.

  Note: It takes from 1 – 2 weeks for the refund to be received.

  You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard, cancel any upgrades, claim a refund for any qualified upgrades, and disable auto-renew. Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades. You can also disable auto-renew there. http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/#canceling-upgrades

  Hi there,

  Your site is on the free plan, which only has the free address, http://gavelph.wordpress.com/, as @timethief indicated.

  To add a custom domain like gavelph.com to your site you need to register a plan at My Site ->Plans. Then you will be able to add a domain at My Site ->Domains.
