It’s no mystery – your blood donation is especially needed during the holidays. Give the gift of life this season and we’ll reward you with TWO gifts: a $15 gift card and a fun surprise item.
Donate blood, platelets, plasma or Power Red Dec. 14, 2026-Jan. 3, 2027, and you’ll receive a $15 Rewards gift card (must use code GIFTWISH-2026-V when scheduling)* AND a physical mystery gift!** Donor Rewards program opt-in required.
Schedule your donation appointment today!
Important information for the gift card and mystery gift:
- Physical gift card/mystery gift will NOT be handed out at the blood donation location.
- Donors must have a valid email address in their Vitalant donor record.
- The $15 gift card and mystery gift are for participating donors who come to donate Monday, Dec. 14, 2026, through Sunday, Jan. 3, 2027. Donor Rewards program opt-in is required.
- To receive the $15 Rewards gift card, donors must use code GIFTWISH-2026-V when scheduling an appointment to donate.
- While most bonus points for the gift card will appear in donor accounts about a week after donation, it could take an additional week for them to be loaded and available to redeem in the online donor store.
- The mystery gift item will be available in the online donor store within 2 days after donation.
- Donors must log in to their donor accounts to access the online donor store to redeem their mystery gift and points for the gift card.
- Some donors may qualify for additional promotions during this same time frame.
*Presenting donors who come to donate whole blood, Power Red, platelets or plasma with Vitalant during the promotional time frame (Dec. 14, 2026-Jan. 3, 2027) and use code GIFTWISH-2026-V are eligible and will receive points ONLY if they’ve first created an online donor account AND opted in to the Donor Rewards program. Offer is non-transferable and not redeemable for cash. Offer is subject to change at any time during the promotional time frame. Approximately 7-14 days after donation, enough bonus points will be added to the donor’s account to redeem for a $15 electronic gift card of choice in the online Donor Rewards store. Bonus points are in addition to regular donation points earned. Physical gift card will NOT be handed out at the blood donation location nor will a redemption email be sent. Some donors may qualify for an additional promotion during this same time frame. A successful donation is NOT required to receive the promotional item.
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. This could be a little girl in the ICU or a mother with Stage 3 leukemia. If you’re worried about needles, don’t be—most blood donors compare the experience to a mild, split-second pinch! The entire process is very safe and very fast, and you will feel amazing knowing you potentially saved up to three people.
To me, donating blood is a spiritual experience. You are giving something that was part of you to help a complete stranger live.
