efore you donate blood here you should know that these companies make hundreds of dollars reselling the blood you give. In return, you get 2 cookies and a gift card. Mrore about the gift card later.
I'm a middle-aged man. There's no way anyone could mistake me for a woman. I filled out the form and stated that I was a man. The interviewer asked if I was a man. And then after all that, he asked me, "Are you pregnant?"! I'm surprised he didn't
ask if I was menstruating or lactating or had had a hysterectomy. Would he have asked a woman if she had erectile dysfunction or prostate problems? So if you refuse to go along in any way with this woke transgender nonsense, I suggest you stay away from One blood. Let me add that the interviewer looked like they were still in High School. Rather than asking adults about their sex lives (which they did, and will do to you and record your answers into their database), they should be working as hamburger jockeys at McDonalds. I doubt you want to discuss your private sex life with a kid who looks like they just attended their senior prom.
Now to the gift cards. Surprisingly, people aren't motivated to give their blood to a company that resells it a huge profit if the donors get nothing in return but 2 cookies. Shocking, right? So Oneblood offers gift cards - for a fraction of the amount that they make off you. But do you get them when you give blood? Nope. They publicize that you get an "egift card at donation." I bet you think an "egift card" is a gift card like any other gift card and that you can walk out of Oneblood and stop at a Starbucks to redeem it on your way home. Well, think again. An "egift card" is a piece of paper with a code on it. A day or two later after being asked if you are a pregnant man, you have to go online, enter your birthdate (I'm surprised they didn't ask me If I were a man who was presently breastfeeding and how many sex partners I've had in the last six months!), enter a 13 digit (!) code, and maybe if the site is working, you might get a gift card delivered to you. By that time, you and all the other possibly pregnant men will have lost your patience and sworn never to go through this nonsense again. I mean, what guy has the time if he's too busy giving birth, right?
I will never donate blood again. I already knew the whole thing was a profit-making ripoff of average good-hearted people, but this experience just told me how much worse it is than that. read more
