I donated it once here came back to donate again and I have bruising on one arm they could not let me donate and the bruising was caused by them will not be going back to this place and I'm honestly thinking of never donating again because of this place going to hospital to get checked I have concerns about other things on top of that they said I do not have the vein look at that vein are you kidding me I think they bruise you purposely so that when you return you cannot qualify for their promotions

How often are you allowed to donate....2-3x/week?

Jerry Repa Jr | Oct 14, 2017
Michael Coldsmith | Oct 14, 2017

Hello, you may donate two times within a seven day period, with at least a day between donations. So for example, if you go in on Monday and successfully donate, you can go back the Wednesday of that same week to donate again. Then the next time after that you would have to wait til Monday before you could return. For another example though, if you were to go in on Monday to start your week, but you ended up not returning until Sunday, you would then have to wait til the next Tuesday before you could donate again since you need a day in between donations. In addition, if you were to go in on a Monday, and donate any day before Sunday (Wednesday thru Saturday), your week would then still start back up on the following Monday. If you need any more questions answered feel free to ask. I hope I was able to help!
