On referral programmes. CSL Plasma, BioLife and Octapharma all run donor to donor referral programmes, where an existing donor receives a bonus after the person they referred completes qualifying donations. As of 2026-07-25 none of them publish a third party website affiliate programme, so a directory cannot simply collect a per lead fee from an affiliate network. Clinic partnerships have to be sold to the operators directly.
