Badly managed. Intake people don't inform you of any type of sample that is going to be taken 😒. Weight scales are not in sync with each other . At times, I've had an 10 to 14 lbs difference and when I brought it to management, he said that there's nothing wrong. I feel that the failed protein samples and wrong scales are to control payments. Question: How can I pass protein sample during screenings with high protein but fail samples????

Questions & Answers

Why the people in plasma center are always mad like they be pms ing smh

Sharon Turner | Oct 4, 2018
Mike Sumrall | Oct 4, 2018

They get confused, because donors get paid the employees forget that the donor is the customer. Management is to blame for crappy employee attitudes at least when displayed in front of donors.

Richard Toole | Oct 4, 2019

Val Swans | Oct 4, 2019
Ivor Wood | Oct 4, 2019

Yes if you want to know if you are paid for referrals you get get bonus rewards when you sign up for the rewards program on line The more rewards points you have the quicker you can get an Express pass

I'm confused about the December rewards...Can someone please break it down for me. Tomorrow will be my 5th time coming this month. I weigh 150.. and it is also my 2nd donation of the week. TIA

Ashley Tucker | Oct 4, 2019
Seth Ayres | Oct 4, 2019

You'll receive a $30 bonus for your 6th visit of the month, on top of whatever your base pay is for that visit. A $25 bonus for your 7th visit of the month, and a $20 bonus for your 8th visit of the month. I believe the base pay for your second visit of the week is $45 if you weigh between 150 and 175 pounds. But you receive the bonuses for the 6th, 7th, and 8th visit if the month regardless of it being your 1st or 2nd visit if the week.

Can i Donate if i have Scars?

Alexandria Lee | Oct 4, 2018
Mike Sumrall | Oct 4, 2018

Yes, as long as you disclose and can explain them ( when you got them ) during your initial physical. And also if they are not located in donation stick site, the crook of your arm( inside of elbow)

How Do I know i am Eligible to Donate ?

Alexandria Lee | Oct 4, 2018
Eithan Birkmeyer | Oct 4, 2019

They will initially do a physical, then before you donate you must answer all questions on the kiosk honestly.. if you answer a question and it gets flagged you might not be able to donate for safety reasons. If not, They then test your protein lvls, weight, and blood pressure. After you will be hooked up to a machine and good to go. If something goes wrong, like heat sweats or dizziness, they will unhook you and tend to your needs. Most of the time this is caused by dehydration or not having a balanced meal high in iron etc.. now if there are difficulties drawing your plasma, people who use certain drugs will have issues donating, specifically drugs like cocaine. Lol. That’s the best answer I can give.

DeWayne Cutchin | Oct 4, 2018

You can only go twice in a one week period of time... if you went on Thursday, of LAST week, then went on Monday of THIS week, you cannot go again until Thursday of this week...

Chris Jacobsson | Oct 4, 2018
Marlene Adams | Oct 4, 2018

You have to donate twice in the same week to get the 45 on the 2nd visit. If you only donate once a week, you will get 25 each time.

DeWayne Cutchin | Oct 4, 2018
Marcus Robinson | Oct 4, 2018

Not sure about a point system but you get paid 25 dollars for you first weekly donation and usually 50 for you second donation of the week. Of they are running a promotion, you get paid a little more (usually10-25 extra dollars).

Once you and get 25 what do you get the second time you go back?

DeWayne Cutchin | Oct 4, 2018
Glen Senecal | Oct 4, 2018

15 if under 150, 25 if under 175, and 50 if you are over 175
