How Does the Platelet Advantage Work?

Now when you save lives with your platelet donations you'll also earn points redeemable for a wide variety of gifts. You'll earn 100 Platelet Advantage points each time you donate platelets. You can also earn additional points each time you donate:

50 additional points for a double platelet donation *
100 additional points a triple platelet donation *
75 additional points for a double platelet/red cell donation *
50 additional points for a platelet/plasma donation
25 additional points for a platelet/red cell donation

* NOTE: Additional points will be posted 5 days after your donation. Points for multiple platelet products will be based on final test results in our laboratory, not on the attempted procedure at the time of donation.

50 points for platelet donations during the following designated critical periods
- June 28-July 9, 2008
- August 28-September 8, 2008
- November 26-December 1, 2008

**NEW**

100 bonus points for platelet donations made on any Sunday.

You will retain all your earned points if you make at least one blood or platelet donation every 180 days.
If you do not meet this requirement you will forfeit 50 Platelet Advantage points. This requirement will be waived while any donor is temporarily or permanently deferred from donating.

The above requirements will be waived while any donor is temporarily or permanently deferred from donating blood.

A minimum of 400 points is required for gift redemption. Gifts are tiered based on your accumulated point total. You'll see a wide array of gifts at each tier. You may redeem all or some of your points as you wish. You can even donate your points back to New York Blood Center. Platelet Advantage points are not transferable and are not redeemable for cash.
