Last updated: November 12, 2026 · We checked CSL Plasma’s Return Donors page (cslplasma.com/return-donors), FAQ (cslplasma.com/faq) and Be Rewarded page (cslplasma.com/be-rewarded) for the current rules.
- Yes. CSL Plasma’s referral program pays the referring donor $100 in iGive Rewards® points per eligible referral. The posted offer runs 07/01/26 to 12/31/26 (checked November 12, 2026).
- Who can refer: active donors with at least one donation in the past 180 days. Lapsed donors and employees can’t take part.
- Who you can refer: a brand-new donor with no prior donations at CSL Plasma. Both of you need an active iGive Rewards® account.

How the CSL Plasma referral program works
CSL Plasma runs referrals through iGive Rewards®, its donor rewards program. Its FAQ calls iGive Rewards® “CSL Plasma’s donor referral program.” Each donor with an active iGive account gets a referral code in the CSL Plasma app.
You share that code with a friend who has never donated at CSL Plasma. Your friend gets a text or email with the code and a link to the app. After they get a donor ID at the center and make their first donation, the code must be applied in the app’s referral dashboard.
When your friend completes 2 donations within 30 days, you get $100 in iGive Rewards® points. You can then redeem the points in the app. CSL says cash is loaded to your debit card within 24–48 business hours after you redeem.
Your friend does not get an extra referral payment on top. CSL says the new donor “will receive the applicable new donor fees based on their center’s compensation structure.”
How to refer a friend to CSL Plasma (step by step)
- Activate iGive Rewards®. Turn on your account in the CSL Plasma app or on the login page. You need at least one donation in the past 180 days.
- Find your referral code. It is in the app or on the iGive login page.
- Share the code. Send it from the app. Your friend gets a text or email with the code and an app link.
- Your friend signs up and donates. They get a donor ID at the center. Pre-donors must convert their account after they receive their donor number.
- Apply the code on time. The code and the first donation must be no more than 7 days apart. If the code is applied first, the first donation must happen within 7 days. If the donation comes first, the code must be applied within 7 days.
- Your friend makes a second donation. Both donations must be done within 30 days.
- Track and redeem. Watch the status on the app’s referral dashboard. When the $100 in points posts, redeem it to your prepaid card.
Who qualifies / What you need
- Referrer: an active CSL Plasma donor with at least one donation in the past 180 days.
- New donor: someone with no prior donations at CSL Plasma.
- Accounts: both people need an active iGive Rewards® account.
- Location: a U.S. center. The program is void in Puerto Rico.
- Not eligible: CSL employees and lapsed donors (180+ days without a donation).
- Donor eligibility: your friend still has to pass CSL’s normal screening. CSL decides eligibility “in its sole discretion.”
Rules and fine print
- Dates: the posted offer is valid 07/01/26 – 12/31/26. We could not confirm what happens after December 31, 2026.
- Paid in points, not cash at the center: the $100 arrives as iGive Rewards® points. You transfer them to your prepaid debit card.
- No referral cap: the FAQ says “there is no limit to the amount of donors you can refer.” Every referral must meet the rules.
- Points can expire: iGive points expire if you go more than 30 days without donating, or if you don’t log in at least once in 180 days.
- Location differences: “Offer terms and reward values may vary by location.” Check the app or ask your center for the current offer.
- Can change anytime: CSL may change or end the program “at any time without prior notice.”
Troubleshooting and tips
- Referral not showing? Check the 7-day window first. A code applied more than 7 days after the first donation does not qualify.
- Still pending? The reward only posts after your friend’s second donation. Both donations must happen within 30 days.
- Friend donated before? Anyone with a past CSL Plasma donation can’t be referred, even if it was years ago.
- You haven’t donated lately? If your last donation was 180+ days ago, you can’t refer. Donate again first.
- Don’t lose your points. Redeem them to your card soon, since points expire after a 30-day donation gap.
- Ignore code-sharing sites. Only use a code from someone you know. Codes posted online don’t add extra money for you.
Other real ways to earn more at CSL Plasma
New donor offers. CSL’s Be Rewarded page says new donors can “receive up to $100* your first donation” and “up to $800* your first month.” The asterisk means it “varies by location and is subject to change.”
