    Interesting. I’ve only ever donated whole blood to the Red Cross, and they explicitly said they don’t do any kind of reimbursement when I asked. But that was a decade ago while I was donating plasma and needed the extra money and couldn’t take not being able to do ate for a few months.

      Oneblood offers jncentives to get more people to donate. Not much but about $200 per year + donation themed clothing, blankets, towels locally. Platelets get about $250. These numbers are getting lower each year

      You can get paid way more for plasma, the places where I live take hours though so it may not be worth it. I just donate whole blood and Oneblood gives me gift cards and swag, the double walled water bottles last time were surprisingly good quality, and probably lined with pfas.
