I donated yesterday doing a platelet run. Two units so that puts me at 10 1/4 gallons. They were rather busy as they were giving out the $10 gift rewards for your choice of various gift cards.

Yesterday, I finally received my invitation to shop in their new Rewards Program for the 5 Gallon levels. This was for my 10 gallon level donation a few weeks ago.

The prizes though are nothing special at the 10 gallon level. I had the option of choosing a One Blood shirt, a crystal diamond like One Blood souvenir, or a 16 ounce One Blood hot-and-cold retaining glass. The glass appealed to me the most of the three but I have seen them offering this glass at One Blood in Spanish Plaines Shopping Center for just any donation.

My iron was 14.9 so I decided to continue with the platelets as it is below 15.

And I could not donate whole blood until 5/30/2016 after yesterday's platelet donation.
