Earn Loyalty Points each time you donate. Redeem your points for a wide variety of gifts or gift cards. You can even donate your points to select charitable organizations.
The Donor Loyalty Program encourages and recognizes frequent blood, platelet and plasma donors. The program requires at least one donation attempt every 13 months to keep your points. Donating frequently throughout the year ensures that we always have an ample blood supply for patients in need.
Each time you make a blood, platelet or plasma donation you’ll earn points.
Yes! Your points survived the move to our new loyalty store. Your points are still worth as much as they were before. Plus, any points you accrued during the temporary closure of the loyalty store will now appear in your point total!
Point values awarded for each donation have been adjusted to match new item values in the loyalty store. We’ve also refreshed gifts to choose from and made sure to match values accordingly with our new points system. Any previously awarded points have not lost value in worth.
Once you’ve selected a gift and redeemed your points, sit tight. Gifts typically take 6-8 weeks to arrive through the U.S. postal mail. During checkout, you’ll be able to select your shipping address for your items—or, add a new shipping address to send to. Make sure to confirm the correct shipping address is selected.
We encourage donations at our donor centers because it is more cost efficient, and because those sites have the equipment needed for specialty donations – like double red, plasma, or platelet donations – based on your blood type. Making a double red, plasma, or platelet donation allows you to give the right type of donation for your blood type, and for patients in need. Plus – you earn more loyalty points more quickly when making one of these specialty donations. By donating in a donor center, you’re going out of your way to give even more generously, and we recognize that.
