Using Coupons for Upgrades

A: Yes, you can use both the coupon and upgrade credit for plan upgrades. The upgrade credit allows you to use the remaining value of your current plan towards an upgrade to a higher-cost plan. Upgrade credit cannot be applied to any other upgrade. Credit for the remaining time on your existing plan will automatically apply to your upgrade.

Q: Can I use the WordPress.com plans sale discount coupon to renew my existing plan?
