Interesting. I’ve only ever donated whole blood to the Red Cross, and they explicitly said they don’t do any kind of reimbursement when I asked. But that was a decade ago while I was donating plasma and needed the extra money and couldn’t take not being able to do ate for a few months.
Oneblood offers jncentives to get more people to donate. Not much but about $200 per year + donation themed clothing, blankets, towels locally. Platelets get about $250. These numbers are getting lower each year
You can get paid way more for plasma, the places where I live take hours though so it may not be worth it. I just donate whole blood and Oneblood gives me gift cards and swag, the double walled water bottles last time were surprisingly good quality, and probably lined with pfas.
Pretty sure you can’t get paid for donating whole blood, but you can for plasma.
Many places will give you gift cards, donating plasma also has the effect of reducing pfas in your blood (allegedly) and you get real money.
