Donating blood is uncompensated to my knowledge, but donating plasma is definitely compensated, but very low. My wife was just complaining that the local donation center only offers $90/week, and that's with 2 donations. It's like 35 or something for one session, and a total scam for those who are desperate for money.
I make $110 for two donations and I don't feel like I'm getting scammed. But I'm also not desperate for money.
My wife was getting that or a bit more for a while, but they constantly change what the weekly payout is around us.
