    When you become a new donor you make $400, but after that they take back $200 and pay you $50 to…read moreget there money back.... So in reality you only getting paid $200 for donating not $400.

    I have been to the 2 plasma donation centers in Champaign-Urbana. Here and Grifols. They both…read moresuck. I needed some extra money. They both pay the same amount: Grifols pays $150 for the first two sessions. Then $130/week for 2 donations. KEDPlasma pays $100 for the first 6 sessions, then $130/week, also for 2 donations. The problems are complicated. First of all, donating a liter or so of plasma TOTALLY wipes you out. You get home ok, but that next 6 or 8 hours leaves you feeling weak and dizzy. So much so that you cannot ride a bike home. Even walking to a bus stop feels really hard. The next day you are back to normal, but the first few hours after donating are dicey. Second, the phlebotamists are totally a crap shoot. Some of them are great. Others suck. The last time I donated the phlebotamist did a terrible job ---- it hurt like hell to get the needle in, and then after the first 25% of the donation, the needle seems to have slipped and the machine stalled. So they shifted to the other arm and the same thing happened. Now if I wanted to donated again, I'd have to wait 60 days. I am never going back. It is just not worth it. in terms of the staff, some of them are very nice. Others are downright surly. It is useful if you are in a pinch for money, but on the whole? Not worth it.
