Lucky!! I’m in California & they have a $900 Offer for *New Donors* for 8 donations within 30 days. I thought that was a steal. Either way I’m super nervous but I’m a broke college student barely scraping by so I wouldn’t mind extra cash in my pocket LOL
I'm going back to school so can use the cash but have small veins so been super nervous about donating. Interesting experience thanks for sharing! Good luck on your gigs. My car is ten years old so think I will fit I hahah
Their pricing has gone to crap from what they used to give out… they used to give returning donors coupons for $600 in just three visits… now they offer you $650 in 8 donations…
Just got back from my first donation… Happy to be helping those in need. But I thought it would’ve been $800 because that’s what an ad had said:/ nonetheless, at least I’m getting paid. 7 more visits to go
@@blainesparks8183 The 800 is basically the promotion they offer for first timers. So essentially they’re not giving you $800 on the spot, it’s in parts that ADDS to $800. My first visit I got $70 then the second I got $100 and so on so forth until you do 8 donations in a matter of a month
Well now I want the dirt on why ad blockers are bad. I've never used one, didn't seem worth my while when I can just look away from my screen but I know so many people love them
That’s exactly the path I’m on. I have the $500 after the $1,200, but I’ve added a few others here and there to give it a bit of a boost. I’m always looking for new coupons.
@@AdamMurrayLive last week my coworker was sitting next to me donating plasma and the tube was extended leaving no slack. He asked the person to readjust the tube. Shortly after he got a hemotoben and his arm swelled up. The staff came over and put ice on it and he can't donate till the swelling goes down. At the same time a new donors across from me had the same thing happen to her and my wife's machine started acting up under 100ml at the same time. They all got paid for donating. In fact around 5 times BioLife paid me for not donating because of issues with the machine or them missing my vein.
Yeah, I had an issue one time like that where they messed up both arms and couldn’t finish. My roommate also had a visit where the machine messed up his arm and he couldn’t finish the donation. We both got paid for the full amount, but it effected our ability to donate in future due to swelling in the veins or bruising. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again.
@@AdamMurrayLive hey Adam! Loved your video. Where do you find the coupons? I have googled coupons for current donors and I can’t find any extra to add on top of the first time donor. I went for the first time two days ago and it is def easy money!
CSL dropped their new donor from $1200 down to $850, ranging anywhere from $75-$150 per donation, receiving less than $100 after your forth donation. After that it goes by weight. Lowest being $38 per donation or about $150 a month.
Yea after that coupons up you don’t get shit but $40 then after that for your second you get $80 I don’t get how they can charge different rates at different locations that doesn’t make any kind of sense it’s like the locations are competing against one another for who can get the most donations I guess idk
It's June 2023 and I've been going to CSL. THE pay changes constantly. Right now return donors receive $55 first time of week and second is $60. We drive from Coffeyville KS to Tulsa OK. It's right at an hour to 1 and 15 min drive. We take turns driving, the 2 of us We are contemplating driving to Joplin to another plasma center to get their first time donor reward. Yes we're 2 broke ladies.
Do you have an update? I don’t really care about the amount of money given as long as it fair and it’s actually going to help others. I know our plasma is gold, so the people should be treated with respect. I used to donate blood to the blood center but I didn’t always like the feeling afterwords or at times getting jabbed wrong way.
The Biolife in Cincinnati Ohio told me they would only pay $100 for the first & second visit, and either $65 or $75 per visit after the first two. Not sure that amount is even worth it.
@@BB-re6nz omg the csl is the worst. They're idiots. They offered $100 for new donors. I called them and they said No it doesn't apply to this location. It's $650. I said but it says your location. They said it's a misprint. Then I asked about an appt. They said they aren't accepting new patients. I hung up
That must be something other than BioLife. I’m currently doing $420/6 with an extra $150 over 10. Along with other promotions I should be able to sustain an average of around $100 per donation. I’m guess you’re someplace else.
@@AdamMurrayLive right now I keep showing extra $50 after 8 donations and $120 for 2 donations ($20+$120) it keeps renewing itself in the app. How long if I continue not to donate will they offer larger amounts ? We haven't donated since mid december
@@NewYorksFinest1 I just finished my new donor promo and my app now says this exact offer. I thought, I'm not going back and doing that for $20. Especially not when I'm used to making at least $95 per donation!
How much do you get per donation without any bonus?? I got an offer for an 800$ bonus but thats after 8 donations. So how much do they pay per donation without bonus
I now have a couple different Tudors. I didn’t end up buying a watch with the money from donating though. That was a far more complex venture than I had previously thought. Also, getting offered a Rolex at retail is now very difficult in its own right. More so than I thought. I did end up with around 3k in donation money at one point, but then it became difficult to get the money off the card because I couldn’t get the balance transfer to work so I ended up having to do a series of ATM transactions which was its own issue. There were a host of challenges to actually trying to pull this off.
Sorry to hear you had difficulty with the card Adam. I'm retired and plan to try and see how donating works out for me. Not willing to wait hours to donate though. That would be a deal breaker for me.
@@Geoduck. It’s alright, I was able to get it to work. The system wasn’t really designed to have people save thousands onto the card so having some difficulty is to be expected. But yeah, the process is unquestionably going to take hours. Even on a fast day it would take about 2 since the process of donating by itself can take close to an hour.
Great info especially about the parking for your first appointment. But why do they ask for your social security number? I had to go back home to find my card or bring my W2 and ended up chickening out lol
I donate at a place on the East Coast. Are there certain days or times that payout more than others? First 2 times I got $100, and the last time I went I got only $50.00
Usually there is a new donor sign on bonus for the first few donations as incentive to keep going, you will have to keep shopping for coupons if you want to make more than the regular price for donations
Dude that line about the McDonald’s is so true. That’s hilarious I was wondering how the kennesaw location was cuz I go to the one in Douglasville and there horrible up there I’m only 5 minutes from there location but there so bad some days I was looking to go to another location. I had to comment because your right I wanted to use the coupon off the website and they said it wasn’t “valid at that location” I’m thinking it’s on the main site how is not valid??????? Any way love the video Man
Oh and one thing is you can’t take a week like you said I took a week off and missed out on $100 bucks cuz it was during the holiday and they were closed randomly because of “technical difficulties”
Thanks man! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I stopped going since they changed the incentive program it’s not really worth the time commitment unless there’s a large bonus.
But the staff at the Kennesaw location are really great. They were the reason I kept going, honestly. They have so many cool people there. But there was some turnover in the few months break I took. I’m assuming they can go get a better paying job with those skills they learn there. I don’t think they pay those people enough. They should be making a minimum of $20 an hour drawing people’s blood like that.
hey, I’m looking to start first time donations. I see the $800 in 8 donations coupon for bio life. Does that sound good for a start? Should I be looking at diff companies?
I think you should weigh all of your options. The thing with BioLife though is you can add other coupons to it to make your donations more profitable. Check out the Facebook groups where people post coupons to see if there are better ones than the 800 and to see what the other ones are.
Are there any limitations to the medicine you can be on? Like what happens if your are prescribed a narcotic like Suboxone? Will they still take you or are you barred from the donation process???
If you don’t replace what they took out of you, your body will not be able to replenish the plasma. Plasma is 90% water and the other 10% is mostly made by protein. So you need to drink lots of water and eat a little more protein
I am not just happy about the current coupons I get from them. I don't think I get paid correctly at BioLife Plasma in Madison WI. They just generate these low level coupons that aren't helpful at all.
How much are the coupons? I'm thinking about going to see what it's like and how much they pay after the first month. Right now the first month is 900 but how much per visit after?
I assume everyone is different and you’ll have to find out what your own tolerances are. However, I wouldn’t recommend it the first time or two you donate as you’ll have some loss of blood cells that carry oxygen through the body so your cardio won’t be great that day.
How do you stack the coupons i want to go for my first time and the current promotion i see is 750 for 8 donations but seeing yours is want to try and stack another coupon or 2
My wife after 11 successful donations for a hemotoben a few days ago and they took over 100 ml then her arm swelled so now she can't donate for 8 weeks cuz they said it's like donating blood
Yes, the dreaded 56 day deferral when they can't return your blood. Usually that only happens when the machine breaks down. But why didn't they hook a needle up to another vein in either arm so that she could get her blood back?
Could you donate to bio life and csl plasma? I mean of course I know you have to wait between donations periods. Just wondering if have to choose one or the other thank you
I now get 35 for the first donation of the week. If i decide to donation again I'm the same week, I'll get 50. CSL plasma gives you points each donation and you can redeem them for extra cash. I'm at the Bronze level and I get 75 points per donation.
I didn’t. I stopped donating around like the 3k mark. I started to have some discomfort in my arms after the treatment long after and I didn’t care for that. It wasn’t worth possibly having lasting effects to me for a watch. It’s also very difficult to get an allocation from a Rolex AD. I also had issues with the company trying to get the money off the card because it was seen as unusual to have so much money saved on it. So it ended up being more trouble than it was worth to me.
Did another donation yesterday for $100 I only have one good side vein which drives them nuts. It takes me about 1 hr to donate. Yesterday it took me almost 1 hr 15 mins. They were gonna stop but I was almost done my 889ml. I failed the 1st heart rate test at 101 but asked to speak to the supervisor and she retested me and it was 84. If the front lady wouldvw tested me again and I failed they would've deferred me to another day. So now I know what to do
I was deferred for low hemo, 1 day Low protein 7-8 days Loss of blood 8 weeks (blood was taken, but not put back in, machine malfunction. Low heart rate 15 minutes
You used to be able to stack coupons. They kinda nerfed some of that as I understand it. But I haven’t donated in a year or two now so I don’t know what it’s like now.
My plasma center (csl) says to make 8 donations within 45 days. Not sure if all plasma donations do that but do you know why or what happens if you don't make all 8 within a certain time?
@@somnuswaltz5586 You’ll find in life that the more negative you are, the more negativity you’ll receive. Somebody will tell you that you are unattractive. And you’ll see how that feels :)
I was donating for over a month and then they told me my protein came back low. So I'm temporarily deferred. Makes no sense to me because I know exactly what I eat. My breakfast alone is over 45 grams of protein. Sometimes more than that. So I'm having some blood work done at my Drs office to make certain they're not trying screw me. It seemed to me like some people were hating on me because I make it look easy in less than 30 minutes. I was also donating to RSV patients.
Yes every center does. They don't want your weed, crack, meth, or HIV plasma. You will NOT get paid for donating if your donation tests positive for drugs
@@somnuswaltz5586 yes-you can donate blood (and blood components like plasma and platelets) if you smoke weed. While you can't donate while you're intoxicated, donating if you've recently smoked is safe.
Blood type doesn't matter, as far as I know, because they're just spinning out the plasma and returning your blood. Red Cross will tell you your blood type, but they deal in whole blood products
Im sorry but why the fuck would they hire people with barely any medical experiences You can probably mess up someone's arm poking veins and nerves u shouldn't have hit. Happened one time to me on my shoulder (not from blood related stuff) but my whole shoulder was limited in mobility and in pain for MONTHS. Eventually it healed but stuff like that aint no joke. Smells like a lawsuit 😂
My sister and I had appointments with the McKnight center today. Waste of our time. It was our first time going and we were both a "little" nervous. But by the time I got there I thought I had settled my nerves, I was a bit more relaxed. As I was being seen and asked questions, the woman did my vitals. Apparently my heart rate was over 117 or something so she told me to sit at a chair and she'd call me in ten minutes. 🤔 That witch forgot about me and I sat there for more than 15 minutes, and she kept forgetting my name. I kept myself occupied with some app games on my phone and I definitely was not nervous anymore... I was more tired than anything since I get insomnia on and off and most nights are a struggle to sleep or sleep comfortably. She said my heart rate only went down to 116. I call bullshit. My heart rate has only ever been over 100 through exercising. They said I could come back tomorrow but I don't think I will. 1. I doubt my heart rate will ever be good enough for them. 2. I have no ride and I don't do public transportation. And 3. I won't go alone and they don't allow anyone that's not donating inside. They disqualified my sister. (They disqualified her first.) She didn't have a good vein in one arm, that's fair, but she had a tattoo on the other arm and I guess it was too high up? No tattoo may be less than 4 to 12 months old, from what I've read. Her tattoos were over a year or more old. Honestly, I just think the lady was too lazy to make more of an effort than she was paid for. The lady I had seemed too unorganized? I don't know if that's the right word but she kept having issues with her equipment. We literally had to wait for her computer to stop messing up. Even the finger print thing kept messing up, I had to do it multiple times. Again, my heart rate vital was a load of crap.

@@AdamMurrayLive Do they allow transfer to another bank account?(without having to pull out the money at an ATM)
@@AdamMurrayLive do they mail it or do they give it to you right then?
@@MoradaRyleeWesmailed, in my experience, with your name on it
Could you donate to bio life and csl plasma? I mean of course I know you have to wait between donations periods. Just wondering if have to choose one or the other thank you
I now get 35 for the first donation of the week. If i decide to donation again I'm the same week, I'll get 50. CSL plasma gives you points each donation and you can redeem them for extra cash. I'm at the Bronze level and I get 75 points per donation.
Did you ever end up getting a watch?
I didn’t. I stopped donating around like the 3k mark. I started to have some discomfort in my arms after the treatment long after and I didn’t care for that. It wasn’t worth possibly having lasting effects to me for a watch. It’s also very difficult to get an allocation from a Rolex AD. I also had issues with the company trying to get the money off the card because it was seen as unusual to have so much money saved on it. So it ended up being more trouble than it was worth to me.
I donate in California and they’d like cancel my ointment for some reason
Do you add the coupons to your account manually or do they add them when you go
Most coupons the center has to add them for you. It depends on the coupon though.
Where the hell is the pin number on the card envelope do I have to go on line..or what very frustrating
Hey! Are you still donating at the Kennesaw center?!
I’m an alcoholic can I still donate
Nah you take a drug and alcohol they won’t accept
Did another donation yesterday for $100 I only have one good side vein which drives them nuts. It takes me about 1 hr to donate. Yesterday it took me almost 1 hr 15 mins. They were gonna stop but I was almost done my 889ml. I failed the 1st heart rate test at 101 but asked to speak to the supervisor and she retested me and it was 84. If the front lady wouldvw tested me again and I failed they would've deferred me to another day. So now I know what to do
I was deferred for low hemo, 1 day
Low protein 7-8 days
Loss of blood 8 weeks (blood was taken, but not put back in, machine malfunction.
Low heart rate 15 minutes
Drink more plain water before!
How often do they let u donate blood.. like how many times a week
Two times in a 7 day period.
What does you blood pressure need to be in order to donate?
I don’t know. They don’t really tell you. They just take your blood pressure and try to see if it’s in an acceptable range.
If it's 100 or over they reject you
Can you use the referral and get whatever bonus they are offering at the same time?
You used to be able to stack coupons. They kinda nerfed some of that as I understand it. But I haven’t donated in a year or two now so I don’t know what it’s like now.
So u earned about 100 + per donation?
Depends on the place but I got 120 and every donation is 100 or 120 so totally it’ll be 850
If you donate 8times totally it’ll be $850
@@iammyself5795 did u ever need to file any taxes on it ?
Also another thing I'm curious about
@@HMPRODIGYget a damn job freeloader
Where did you find your codes?
My plasma center (csl) says to make 8 donations within 45 days. Not sure if all plasma donations do that but do you know why or what happens if you don't make all 8 within a certain time?
Bonus goes away
Every csl I went to besides South Carolina is terrible .
Where do u get those cupons???
Did they send you a 1099 at the end of the year?
That’s what I’d like to know
@@GrubbMuffin from what I’ve heard from asking MANY donors, the answer is, “No.”.
Dude I looked up phlebitis and it's actually serious, causes a blood clot. That's freaking scary
Where do you get the coupon from.
If I refer you when do I get my cut? Seriously.
I have had diarrhea and vomiting for 3 days straight after donating. Definitely not worth the $90 I got paid for the first donation.
I'm gonna finish my last 2 of $20 and $240 then we are gonna go to csl plasma
Best of luck with it! I personally have been enjoying the center I am going to so I’m gonna try to stick it out there.
@@AdamMurrayLive I really really like the people I go to. They all know me and joke around with me cuz of my slow vein. They
Do you have any biolife promo codes I can use ?
Why do people think having an expensive watch is cool?
Honestly the way the have it setup it’s like they don’t want donations lol.
Off topic but you’re so handsome!
he is UNattractivr af, but ok
@@somnuswaltz5586 You’ll find in life that the more negative you are, the more negativity you’ll receive. Somebody will tell you that you are unattractive. And you’ll see how that feels :)

I'm donating plasma tomorrow. First time donating, too.
Well, if you don’t have someone to refer you it’d be awesome if you said it was me.
Did you get a good first time donor coupon? You can look around the internet to see what the best one they are currently offering is.
I'm going Thursday.. I'm kind of scared. But the $ seems great. Esp when your actually helping people
how’d it go
What hapoens if you need to poop or pee during the donation?
😂😂😂 Duck Tape cars lmao
I was donating for over a month and then they told me my protein came back low. So I'm temporarily deferred. Makes no sense to me because I know exactly what I eat. My breakfast alone is over 45 grams of protein. Sometimes more than that. So I'm having some blood work done at my Drs office to make certain they're not trying screw me. It seemed to me like some people were hating on me because I make it look easy in less than 30 minutes. I was also donating to RSV patients.
Do you have to report this to your taxes?
No
@@sheenadarden6825 thank you 🙏🏽
You are required to report every penny of income on your taxes even if you sell drugs… are they gonna find out if you don’t? Probably not
So many mixed reviews if u pay taxes or not
do you get paid the same day ?
Yeah, your card has the money on it the moment you’re walking out the door.
I like to donate from time to time but I swear in San Diego grifols is always doing sketchy acts like wanting to raffle a television hahaha they suck
Can you transfer the money off of the card they put in on?
Yeah, you can transfer it to your account. I just went to the ATM and withdrew cash for the first time.
Do they drug test
Did anyone answer you?
Yes every center does. They don't want your weed, crack, meth, or HIV plasma. You will NOT get paid for donating if your donation tests positive for drugs
No they don’t drug test
@@somnuswaltz5586 yes-you can donate blood (and blood components like plasma and platelets) if you smoke weed. While you can't donate while you're intoxicated, donating if you've recently smoked is safe.
CSL tests for meth, cocaine, and other opiates. I've smelled weed on people before they donate. It's just best to call and ask.
Do you have to know your blood type to be able to donate or will they test it there?
Blood type doesn't matter, as far as I know, because they're just spinning out the plasma and returning your blood.
Red Cross will tell you your blood type, but they deal in whole blood products
Damn it isn’t even worth it here, $700 for new donors and $35 after that
Yeah, they have gotten much cheaper. They paid a lot more during the pandemic because there was a deficit in donations and a high demand.
The promo ends eventually you get $50 a heads up good to pay a bill 🤔. Nothing more
Im sorry but why the fuck would they hire people with barely any medical experiences
You can probably mess up someone's arm poking veins and nerves u shouldn't have hit.
Happened one time to me on my shoulder (not from blood related stuff) but my whole shoulder was limited in mobility and in pain for MONTHS. Eventually it healed but stuff like that aint no joke.
Smells like a lawsuit 😂
lol yeah I’m a cna and went there to work and they have people there working only with high school or equivalent
Word Salad!
Yeah she stuck you and went thru the vein. It causes swelling
you should invest your money. no watch..
What should he/I invest in?
Lol I'm in Kennesaw too
My sister and I had appointments with the McKnight center today. Waste of our time.
It was our first time going and we were both a "little" nervous. But by the time I got there I thought I had settled my nerves, I was a bit more relaxed. As I was being seen and asked questions, the woman did my vitals. Apparently my heart rate was over 117 or something so she told me to sit at a chair and she'd call me in ten minutes. 🤔 That witch forgot about me and I sat there for more than 15 minutes, and she kept forgetting my name. I kept myself occupied with some app games on my phone and I definitely was not nervous anymore... I was more tired than anything since I get insomnia on and off and most nights are a struggle to sleep or sleep comfortably. She said my heart rate only went down to 116. I call bullshit. My heart rate has only ever been over 100 through exercising. They said I could come back tomorrow but I don't think I will. 1. I doubt my heart rate will ever be good enough for them. 2. I have no ride and I don't do public transportation. And 3. I won't go alone and they don't allow anyone that's not donating inside.
They disqualified my sister. (They disqualified her first.) She didn't have a good vein in one arm, that's fair, but she had a tattoo on the other arm and I guess it was too high up? No tattoo may be less than 4 to 12 months old, from what I've read. Her tattoos were over a year or more old. Honestly, I just think the lady was too lazy to make more of an effort than she was paid for. The lady I had seemed too unorganized? I don't know if that's the right word but she kept having issues with her equipment. We literally had to wait for her computer to stop messing up. Even the finger print thing kept messing up, I had to do it multiple times. Again, my heart rate vital was a load of crap.
You sound like the problem here
