  Yes, if you purchase a plan (which is what the “[redacted]” coupon can be applied to), you will receive a domain included within the package. :)

  Dear Torres

  I still need to clarify to understand 100 percent clearly.
  I want my domain name http://www.planetscribbles.com
  current free one is http://www.planetscribbles.wordpress.com
  If I upgrade with this free coupon, then I will get same http://www.planetscribbles.com
  ( that is Free Domain
  Correct…

  It has already been explained to you that you have lost the domain of your choice unless you pay the ransom money to the domain squatter that purchased it. If you want to continue with a custom domain at WordPress.com you will need to choose a different address.

  Hi there,

  You will not be able to use the domain, planetscribbles.com, no, because it already belongs to someone else. There is nothing we can do about that, and you’ll have to either buy that domain back from the current owner directly, or choose a different domain to use with your plan.

  
  @torres126, please tag a thread for staff if someone posts a coupon code, and please don’t repeat posted coupon codes in your own replies. We do not share WordPress.com coupon codes publicly, and they only get sent out via email to users who qualify to use them.
