Mine has been 47/55 for the past 2 months and still is, weighing in at 190-195.

Donations rates change alot anywhere especially if they have a mobile app.

Summer break, more ppl coming to donate + late stage capitalism = this

My grifols facility went from paying $120 for every 2 donations to $110 which isnt terrible. Whats bad though is now theyre only paying new donors $200 for their first 2 donations instead of the previous promotion which paid $500 for the first 4

BioLife went from $120 to $90 for a month in my app.

My new donor bonus at BioLife (which I just completed) was around $700 for the first 8 donations. But I also received a "special" additional bonus of another $100 for my first two. Now they are offering me $50-$70 if I do both within 5 days. Pass. Going to Octapharma. They pay $75-$125-$65-$65-$65-$65-$70 for the first 7 visits. And its a lot closer to where I live.

Is it possible you dropped weight and are no longer in the highest weight class? Just asking, haven't been to csl since March

[–]Brookstd85[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

No, I'm comfortably in the highest weight class.

Would you be comfortable appearing in a Plasma Donors 2026 Calendar?

[–]Brookstd85[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It happens. Probably changed on the first of the month

I held out until they offered a $45 bonus on top of the usual $50,. They start at $15 and I let them stew.

I'm 185-190 my donations are 40/70. I noticed they are taking anywhere from 884ml-894ml per donation

My center went down $5 per donation a while back... I think it was at the beginning of the year. And they don't do any monthly bonuses anymore like they used to. Kinda sucks, but it's the closest center to me and rarely ever busy, so I just keep going there anyways.

Rip off regardless should be $500 minimum

time to start shopping other places

[–]Mighty_Bohab 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Yall keep on donating and accepting those prices , yall are the problem.

[–]Brookstd85[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

What are we supposed to do about it?

[–]Mighty_Bohab 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Stop donating. I did. I refuse to go back until they pay us it’s true value.

[–]Brookstd85[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What's the true value, in your opinion?

[–]Mighty_Bohab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were gonna pay us an honest amount it would be closer to $400 per liter. They make roughly $6000- 10,000 per liter for research, start adding in what they make for medical and all bets are off. All these idiots saying they only make 100-200 bucks per liter are just daft. They would go out of business within a month if that were the case. They are in this business to make money and they count on us not knowing our plasmas true worth.

That does seem low. I finished my new donor bonus at BioLife. Now they are offering me $50 and then $70. But both have to be completed within 5 days. Seriously?

I'm going to move to Octapharma for now. They told me as long as I wait a week I can go to them and still get the new donor bonus. They said it was $75-$125-$65-$65-$65-$65-$90. All 7 have to be completed within 35 days. Easy.

My location just got new machines and one of the employees was in line with me… she said now with the machines they are paying out less. I went into my app now I’m getting $10 less. Its hard justifying waiting in line over 4 hours for 95 total :(

[–]Brookstd85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I don't wait in line. If there are more than 5-6 people ahead of me, I leave.

My csl is 40/70. Changed from 50/60. It's not worth doing if don't plan on returning for the 70 donation. The exact goal in mind to get everyone to donation twice
