If you get paid it's not donating. Also they can't transfuse any donations that are paid for. They go to Pharmaceutical companies.
Yeah not even allowed to sell it here in Canada, it's all volunteer donation fer free. Well, you do get cookies.

Nope, I considered it a few times during college, though.
I think that I'm going to start donating blood regularly. They just give you stale cookies for that. =\
We give tshirts and food coupons at the blood bank I work at
If you give regularly. A few years back I gave three times in one year and got a t-shirt. If I were just trying to get a lame t-shirt, getting stabbed in the arm wouldn't be my first choice in going about it.
.. That said, most phlebotomists are pretty hot, around here. ... they can even find a vein better than a lot of the registered nurses.
Nah we have random other stuff we give away. We do movie tickets about once a month.

Yeah here they use the stuff they paid for for pharmaceutical and random other companies. Can't be used for any transfusions

People really need to get over the whole "sell" issue for life saving tissues and organs.
It's damn near illegal for me tell my bone marrow, for instance. I'll gladly help out someone who needs it without demanding pay. I'm in the registry, after all. However, if some billionaire discovers that I'm a match, I don't know why I shouldn't be able to receive payment for it... *shrug*

They started the rules in the 80s because of diseases. Now they could probably allow selling because of the advancements in disease testing but it's momentum at it's finest.

the collection facility is going to make money on it, even though they are non profit, and then the hospital is going to make money on it, so i don't see why the person who actually donates shouldn't make something too

I agree though we make enough to cover costs it's not like anyone in our organization is getting rich off it.

they do good things but but people are still making some really good money
"The second worst offender this year is Marsha J. Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross...for her salary for the year ending in 2009 was $651,957 plus expenses. Enjoys 6 weeks - fully paid holidays including all related expenses during the holiday trip for her and her husband and kids. including 100% fully paid health & dental plan for her and her family, for life. This means out of every dollar they bring in, about $0.39 goes to related charity causes."

Done it about 20 times, I'd say. Pay varied from 15-50 dollars depending on the specials and stuff.
Decent way to make money, but can be painful if you're tiny.
