The staff cool but the other folk u wait around can make it awful to the point where u ask yourself, do i really need the money? On the days where i can smell some them ppl B.O is when i say its too much. Between the line and the funky odor i am out the door like F that 50!!!

If I could have, I would have given them ZERO stars. As a new donor I registered on THEIR website with the promise of a $10 bonus, I've made 7 donations thrus far and have yet to receive my $10 bonus. I have made several attempts to find out what needed to be done and always got the run around, anything from needing a coupon code which was never sent, to all of a sudden today I'm being told that it's paid to your igive account. And I should have received points, which I did not, and have not to date. Also you are promised a referral bonus if you refer a friend. On said friends 2nd donation you receive a $50 bonus. Awesome! Right????? Wrong!! What they fail to tell you is that if the referral is not set up/registered in the exact way they want it, it is invalid. You will not receive ur referral bonus and nothing can be done about it. Basically, ur SOL buddy. Doesn't matter that you specifically asked 4 different employees and give the same assurance that even if my friend didn download the app from the invite I sent him, that after his 1st donation he can activate his igives acctand put my referral code in and we would receive the bonus. We did as instructed. And don't waste ur time bothering calling corporate, they do nothing but kick ur issues back to your donation center

The lines at this place are so long! The people who work here work so slowly! They are rude. !!! They should value their customers even though the people coming here are donating blood because they really need the money doesn't mean they should be treated any less than any other human being. The lines come out to the side of the building. If you go to wawa and use their ATM theirs no fee. But if you use the card at any other ATM you'll be charged what the ATM charges plus the card charges its own fee. Which is ridiculous when you gave your blood for that money. #CSLplasma Their are other locations like bio life that are faster and treat you better. In front of the store is dirty.

Questions & Answers

We need benches on chairs to wait 3 hours in line. Is that possible?

Brenda Co | Sep 29, 2019
David Hughey jr | Jan 1, 2022

Unfortunately they are not about to spend $ on that. They need to hire more people.

Why do you discriminate on certain zip codes? I drove forty-five minutes to get there today and was sent away because of my zip code.

michael massey | Sep 29, 2017
Tober Williams | Sep 29, 2018

Well they have a certain radius of zip codes they can take. They're not allowed to take anyone outside of the radius.

How much do CSL pay for first time visit? Does it matter how much you weigh?

Ivory Jameson | Sep 29, 2019
andrew kotcher | Sep 29, 2019

50 dollars, for first 4 visits i believe, after that your payment is based off your weight/donation amount. if you weigh 160 lbs you will be a max donor @ 880 ml per visit which pays 25 for first and 45 for the second visit of the week, not counting bonus's

They do accept people who don't speak English fluently but they have to be sure you understand the questions they are asking.

What are the requirements to be able to donate? Being in good health is a bit of a vague statement.

Tarin Pierce | Sep 29, 2018
Ro | Mar 2, 2022

As long as you don't have pre-existing health issues and are at weight. Eat a good meal and about drink 2ltrs of water the day of your donation. After you go drink at least 1ltr more of water and you will do great.

I know that some of the staff is new and some of them were there for about 2 yrs but my question is, where did most of the older staff go the ones that didn't leave bruising?

My bf dont have his ss card but he has his birth certificate will he be able to donate

rena Shiver | Sep 28, 2021
Karen M. | Sep 28, 2021

No, we don't except birth certificates, but he can take in his taxes which will show his social security number. Also, have him take in a proof of address that is postmarked within the last 60 days. Make sure he drinks a gallon of water the day before and half a gallon the day of donation and eats a full meal no more than an hour before he gets there.

Can a new doner get a physical at 6am

Melissa Koppel | Sep 28, 2021
Shelly Graeber | Sep 28, 2021

The whole process for new donors takes about 4 to 5 hrs. So don't go on a day that you have apts or work because you will not be there on time. Csl is still having the promo for $1100/mo for new donors which is alot more than bio life onS. Florida by Home depot. At Csl it's walk in only ...NO apts like bio life. Csl is very short staffed that's why the delay on 1st visit. If accepted they do put you in the very front of each line to have blood tested and to go donate on your 1st time. Make sure to have a current State ID/passport with picture, ss card, and a bill with mailing address on it. No junk mail (bill can be on phone). So to truly answer your question, your physical probably wouldn't happen till closer to 7 or 8 if you arrived at 6am due to be so short staffed. They are hiring if anyone reading this is interested. Only minimal customer service skills needed to apply for the registration job.

I have called back to back for 30 minutes now why will they not answer their phone..

Kyle Bolin | Sep 28, 2021
Howard Kieff | Sep 28, 2021

They are severely understaffed. That is most likely the reason.

What is minimum age for donor

David Stinchcomb | Sep 28, 2021
Shelly Graeber | Sep 28, 2021

18 you can go to their website and it will tell you all the items you need to bring for first visit. The 1st visit is VERY long (4 to 5 HOURS no joke) but they are paying the most in the area. No apts, just walk in with your items. Make sure you are a person with good blood pressure (not sure of the bumbers) and heart rate (not over 100 at the time they test you) they will give you 15 more minutes for your heart rate or BP to go down if it's too low. They also check Iron levels
