I hope they rethink their rewards program. It is OK for platelet donors using a 5 gallon mark but would be so much better if they just brought back the old reward program as well. They could do away with the cheap blankets, cups, and the like. I still loved the t-shirts.
They should be blood donor oriented with the rewards rather than trying to save funds doing away with the rewards program. I have no information though on the relative costs of one vs. another. I was just guessing about why they changed things?
