Donor Cards

After
your first donation, or upon request, donors will receive their
official New York Blood Center Donor Card. You may use this card as an
acceptable form of identification when you donate blood or platelets.

As
depicted here, depending on how often someone donates, donor cards may
be red (for those who have donated less than one gallon); white (for 1-4
gallon donors); gold (for 5-9 gallon donors); or black ( for 10 or more
gallon donors).

Platelet donors also receive a distinctive Platelet Advantage Donor Card.

Donor cards also detail your blood type and CMV status.

Wow, 5 gallons?! That is a lot, congrats...

I just wanted to compliment you on your general improvement in looks of your avitar. Have you been working out?

Why thank you!

As a matter of fact, I have been lifting weights... Usually about 12 ounces at a time... lol...

so what are the perks of the gallon club--they use clean needles? better snacks?

Everything is sterile and disposable. Nothing is reused.

Snacks are what they are, they're neither bad nor good.

Honestly I think the card really does nothing, except sometimes people allow you to cut the line. (At public blood drives, since most of the people are new signups they take a lot more time to get ready, show id, etc. When I show them my gallon card they kinda let me go as I know the procedure and give blood rather quickly <4 minutes versus the average 10-15 minutes)
