It could be better.I've been trying to call like it says to do on my app profile,sense July 22nd but NO ONE ANSWERS the phone. I was going twice each week was almost at the full amount that it says on all the ads that you could earn for the month. But its now Sept 4th lost out on a lot & any/all the special promotions cause no one wants to answer the phone i left a message to call me back but no return calls. But i guess this is just pointless to say it on here.

Today when I attempted to donate the b/p machine wouldn't take my blood pressure and I asked the girl to use a different machine and she refused while others have done it without any problems. So I error codes 3 times because she wouldn't use a machine that would work on me and I wasn't the only one another girl also had the same issue maybe the equipment needs replaced.

My experience is yes. But your body maybe doing that for reasons different then mine. What I do is eat Spinach the day before and the morning I go to keep my iron up for testing.

Linda Steele | Nov 6, 2021
Rob Durst | Nov 6, 2021

No appointment just walk in they still have you wear a mask tho...First time is 2 hrs because they do a orentation check up.. minor physical..ask questions..then subsiquent visits after take only an hr you just answer 30 questions on a kiosk then wait to get called back where they take your blood pressure.. stick your finger to check iron and other levels of things in your blood..make sure to be super hydrated because your plasma is 95% water and it makes the process go alot faster and also eat a meal an hour before...then they take your temp and if all good they send you back for the 45min to an hour donation ive made 5.5k since the begining of febuary and its tax free cuz its a donation i average about 5 to 7 hundred bucks a month and that pays my lot rent and utilities and incidentals it really helps in incertain times

Do you have to donate on the days you did before

Lisa Freysz | Oct 3, 2019
Tanya Smith | Oct 3, 2019

You are supposed to..BUT you can change them if you skip a week. You can only donate twice a week so .. let's say you are going Tues and Thursdays and you go on Tues and they check you and say that your iron is too low, now you will have to go home, eat some spinach or some other high in iron food or supplement and go back the next day, if you are tested have have enough iron on Wednesday, then you will now go on Wed/Friday or maybe Wed/Saturday. If you decide there days you are going aren't working out, skip a week and start on a different day. In my area, the 'week' with them starts on Monday so (for example) you could go Mon/Wed, Mon/Friday or Tue/Thursday or even Tues/Friday or even Tues/Sunday..etc. you just cant go 2 days in a row or more than 2 times within 7 days. Its kind of confusing at first, but I eventually figured it out send took my time here to try to explain because they're really are a lot of options once you figure it out.
