|---|---|---|
| CSL Plasma | Up to $800 first month | Officially advertises up to $800; location-dependent. |

As a starting point, a Dallas-area directory reports new-donor bonuses around $525–$700 at some centers, although these are third-party reported figures, not guaranteed offers.
Most centers require you to be at least 18, meet a minimum weight requirement (often 110 pounds), pass a health screening, and provide photo identification, proof of address, and required identification or Social Security documentation. Confirm the exact requirements with your chosen center.
I can narrow these down based on the best current offers. One quick question:
Are you a first-time plasma donor, or have you donated before?
That matters because introductory bonuses can be substantially higher than regular donor payments.
