However, I was a little confused when I saw there was a promotion to give customers 1,000 points. However, I was surprised when I checked my account and saw about 300 points. I also received a $10 dollar giftcard. However, an HEB gift card is worth 120 points. I did email them to ask about this and was told that both equaled to that promotion. I responded by explaining how the amount of points didn't equal and never heard back. Please don't post promotions that you actually aren't going to stick to.

Once you get past the pin prick and the needle-sticking, you get to sit on nice, comfy chairs with your feet up, watching a flat-screen TV, all while saving a few people's lives. The needle-pokers have always been very nice and sweet and even though my veins seemed to disappear last time, they made sure I was doing alright. As long as my iron stays up, I'll for sure be going back. I'm working toward that sweatshirt.

He told funny jokes, kept my mind busy, didn't stab me too much and made the process as (almost) painless as it could be. The bad: My friend arrived to donate as well, and they denied him because of an out of state tattoo. I get the reasoning behind the madness, but they missed out on some seriously good blood. The ugly: Not too much ugly here. They don't care what you look like, as long as you have healthy blood. Be prepared for an archaic computer interview and bring your state issued photo ID. They aren't going to take your school ID. If you have an ugly license photo, you are good to go. Super easy to do and I'll be back in June, got my sticker on my calendar already!

My first blood donation in more than 35 years was a pleasant, friendly, efficient and professional…read moreexperience. I had surpassed 4 gallons of blood, platelets, white cell and plasma donated before the FDA arbitrarily banned me from donations for life in 1985 because of my sexual orientation. For 38 years donor deferral was based on arbitrary science-denying gender and orientation-based risk assumptions. Very pleased to say We Are Blood operates under new FDA guidance that has been in place since 2023 and relies on assessing individual risk factors rather than making any assumptions about gender orientation or sexual partners. - All potential donors see non-gendered risk assessment/deferral questions when they come to donate. - All potential donors, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, will be asked the same questions and be assessed for blood donation eligibility based on individual risk factors. - The FDA's previous blood donation eligibility criteria based on sexual orientation, which restricted sexually active gay and bisexual men from giving blood, has been eliminated. Initial screening and qualification questionnaire completed, the intake process was quick, careful, caring, and friendly. The donation lounge itself is brightly decorated and open with comfortable chairs and friendly staff. Throughout, great care was taken to verify donor identity and to match to coded donated unit tracking. The whole process took about 40 minutes, including about 20 minutes for the actual donation. I enjoyed some orange juice and a snack afterward and a chat with some volunteers before heading out on my day . Plenty of adjacent free and ADA accessible parking right at the front door. Highly recommended and if you haven't donated in a while because of what were arbitrary restrictions, check back! Things have changed and blood donations are always needed particularly in the summer months.

My husband and I had a great experience donating blood here…read more It was very easy to make an appointment online. We showed up on time and checked in at the front desk where they had us complete a thorough health screening. They gave us a free Amy's ice cream voucher and a Halloween themed T-shirt for donating that day. The center is clean, and I was comfortable in my seat. The phlebotomists are friendly and professional. Mine did a great job prepping me and finding my vein; I did not end up with a big bruise or any discomfort afterwards. It only took around 8-10 minutes to complete the process of blood collection. After we finished our donation, they provided us with plenty of snacks and made sure to go over after care instructions. I highly encourage you to donate if you are eligible! One unit of blood can save up to three lives.

I have donated a handful of times before at a different center which I had no issues with. My first…read moretime with this center took almost two hours in total and my donation was not able to be completed. The staff stuck me and moved the needle 3-4 times causing this bruising, but were ultimately unable to hit my vein. Despite during the application process, both my arms were giving a "green" indicating both could be used. They were going to have to switch to my other arm which I declined and they told me I would only get $5. I left very unhappy, but attempted another effort today. I was informed that the hour and half process I had went through prior was not valid because the donation was not completed (due to no fault of mine). I had only returned due to a voicemail the team left saying my first two donations would be $150 each. Poor communication from the entire center.

Looks like I'm the first to review! I signed up with Beacon Biologics for white blood cell…read moredonation, to help with cancer research. When I got there, I was taken back immediately. Me, the woman in charge, & her coworker were the only ones in the building. Verrrry quiet & all attention was directed to me. Paperwork took most of the time and it was explained very thoroughly before signing. Seeing as this was just my initial appointment, they only did a blood collection of 6-7 vials to test for diseases before I am permitted to donate white blood cells once cleared. The blood collection was taken in a very cushy chair where you're almost laying down. Afterwards, they gave me water and a snack and made sure I was ok. In the end, I was given $25 for the initial appointment. When you do an actual white blood cell donation (which I was told can take up to 3-4 hours!) the payout is a lot more. They also told me they have things like iPads with Netflix, magazines, etc to help keep you occupied during that time. They also gave me a free shirt! They told me that they had been up and running for 2 years but just started accepting clients within the last year. Anywho, the employee whom worked with me was super down to earth and great to talk to & answered all my questions. I'm currently waiting to hear back regarding white blood cell studies now so that I can start donating :) seems like a wonderful facility doing great work!
