  I already have a domain, do I still have to pay the full $99 for an upgrade?

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

  No. You can simply purchase a $13 per year domain mapping upgrade to map an existing domain.

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

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

  See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  P.S. I never recommend purchasing a bundle of upgrades http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/ unless you actually need each and every annually renewable upgrade included in the bundle.
