I wish I knew about donation decades ago! Since I discovered donation, I have referred 4 others who, in turn, have referred others. The staff are friendly & knowledgeable. The process is (mostly) painless, but tolerable. And, for the most part, I can be In & Out without an hour or so. The payments have paid for most of my groceries & gas for the past year now.

I’ve been donating here for a couple of months. The staff is very efficient and skilled at what they do. They are always friendly and accommodating. I really appreciate the simplicity in every visit and the ability to make and change my appointments online. I would highly recommend.

I’ve been donating at this place for a while and I have no major complaints. Some people are great, others not so much just like any other place. Luis really cares about donor's well-being. I wish the computer system was updated to make the screening questionnaire faster and had an app to make scheduling easier and better keep track of donations.

I have personally had a pretty great experience at this location. I absolutely adore the staff! I have noticed at times they seemed a little understaffed but I always make sure I have a good chunk of my day free in case of delay. It is very clean and professional and such a nice way to give back and put some good out in the universe!!

Questions & Answers

What is your compensation after 5 donations

Shonnise Harston | Aug 26, 2018
E W | Aug 26, 2018

The donation cycle for new donors is 50 each donation for the first 2 donations. Then the cycle is 25/35. Once you're on a regular donating cycle2 times a week, the first month starts off at 25 first donation - 35 second donation of that week on the first week of the month. Then the second week is 25/35. The third week is 25 /50 Only because on the 6th & 7th donation you receive a bonus pay out. If want to donate, Tell them Eddie Wright sent you (that's me lol) and receive a bonus on top if you donate 2 times.

I'm not sure if you can. I think if you've had trouble in the past with just giving samples it might be tough. All you can do is go in and get evaluated and that doesn't take long..

I would like to ask why donors have to listen to Mexican music that most donors don’t understand?

Ida Lee | Apr 27, 2022
David Ross | Apr 27, 2022

I get where you're coming from Ida. Not necessarily to you, Ida. I do consistently bring 2 phones and a power bank. One phone to use as my youtube music player and charge it. The other phone i use, i play a sorting color puzzle. These combined keeps me enthralled, tunes me out happening around me.

How much will i get paid

adrian sadler | Jan 27, 2022
Brady Keckin | Jan 27, 2022

I'm not sure what the new donor rates are for 2022. I was there on Friday and I overheard one of the workers telling a new donor that the rates for 2022 had changed from last year but I don't remember what she said. I think you can call and find out.

Do they accept new donors on Sunday?

Andre Corbett | Dec 28, 2021
Geoff Howell | Dec 28, 2021

I do believe so, if they have the staffing, but you need to get there early in the morning. They will cut off new donors when they get to busy or are undermanned.

Can new donors donate on Sunday

J Gee | Aug 25, 2020
Andre Moreno | Aug 25, 2020

Unless policy has changed recently,, usually YES, if the donor gets there fairly EARLY in the morning. Unless the medical staff is off or goes home early, they will be able to process at least a few new donors on a Sunday. Remember that you will need your current government ID, social security card, and a piece of mail addressed to you at your current residence address, postmarked within the last 30 days. This usually means a First Class piece of mail with an actual date stamped in the upper right corner. Call the donation center for details.

What holidays do you stay open for

James Mills | Aug 25, 2020
Andre Moreno | Aug 25, 2020

It seems to vary year to year somewhat. Calling the donation center or asking during a visit before or during the holiday month will often get a better answer. They should be able to give you holiday hours or tell you whether they are closed for a given holiday several weeks in advance.

My address changed and I'm banned from getting services because of an address change?

LaTanya Hickson | Aug 25, 2020
Vee Orduna | Aug 25, 2020

No just take proof of new address and you should be fine. Call the center if you have questions

where do i make appointment

Bridget boes-young | Aug 26, 2019
Josh Kellis | Aug 26, 2019

Online.... Type in www.Biomatsandiego.com into the search bar, and it should take you directly to the site. Set up your profile and then you can set your appointments. I originally tryed using Google chrome and couldn't find it, and it wouldn't send me there directly. Not sure why, but I used regular Google instead and it worked. If you still have trouble, try calling, and asking for some help. They get busy sometimes, but are always nice, and helpful. BTW. If it's your first visit, and no one recommend you to them, please use my name, we get bonus $ for referring people. Thanks. Josh Kellis

What if your from out of state and I.D is from Texas

Rosa Martin | Aug 26, 2019
Michael Gallagher | Aug 26, 2019

You can not donate unless your a resident here an live within a certain radius of the donation center. It doesn't have to be California ID or DL, it can be any state issued ID card or DL. California ID or DL is optimal but you will also need a utility bill lease piece of mail within 30 days, ect. To prove local residency, no matter what Id you use. Hope that helps.
