How do I make an appointment to donate?
Please visit suncoastblood.org, or call 1-866-97-BLOOD
Why do I receive e-gift cards?
Since all of our donations are used for treatments and transfusions in the hospitals we service, due to FDA regulations, we can not give out monetary value for donations. For them to be used in the hospitals, it has to be a donation. However, since we want to thank our donors for their life saving donations, we give out rewards!
Why did I not receive the amount that I thought I would receive?
Please note that the rewards vary between each donation location (centers, mobile blood drives, etc.) and by procedure type (whole blood, platelets, plasma, etc.). For more information on what TBC Rewards are being given at each location, you can always call us at 1-866-97-BLOOD before you donate.
The full amount of your rewards can take up to 1-2 business days to load into your account. If you still have not received what you believe to be the appropriate amount after 2 business days, please send us an email to rewards@suncoastblood.org with the subject line “Wrong Amount of Points.”
What happens if I haven’t received my eGift card or have issues with the process?
Please check your spam/junk folder for an email from noreply@tangocard.com.
If you have located the email in your spam folder, be sure to whitelist it to avoid future issues.
If you haven’t located it in the spam folder, make sure that you have the correct email address set as primary in your donor profile.

Donor QuickPass FAQs
Donor QuickPass allows you to begin the blood donation process from the comfort of your home or office, saving you time at the blood drive. We think you’ll find the process quick, easy, and efficient!
Donor QuickPass is a web-based, computer assisted self-interview program that allows blood donors like you to answer required health history questions independently, in a private setting at a time that’s convenient for you on the day of your donation.
You can access Donor Quickpass from suncoastblood.org on the day of your donation. Using this web-based format—accessible from any computer with internet access—you are able to answer health history questions confidentially, print out a bar-coded receipt that contains your hidden responses, and bring it with you to your donation appointment. If you do not have access to a printer, you can email the barcode to yourself and bring your mobile device with you when you donate.
You can only complete your health history questions on the same day of your blood donation. Online interviews completed before 12:00 AM on donation day will be invalid, and you will have to repeat the interview at the time of your donation.
Because you will have already completed your required health history questions prior to your donation, the process will potentially be shortened—reducing time away from work and personal commitments.
Yes, the only personal information printed on your donor receipt is your name. In addition, Donor QuickPass is designed to timeout after a period of inactivity so no one can access your confidential health history responses.
No, Donor QuickPass does not determine your eligibility to donate; that will be done at the time of your donation.
A Donor QuickPass is not the same as making an appointment to donate. If you would like to schedule an appointment either at a blood drive or donor center, please visit suncoastblood.org for blood drive and donor center locations and hours.
You’ll need high-speed internet access. A high-quality laser printer and paper are also recommended. Some ink jet printers may not provide a high enough quality barcode for the scanners to read.

We appreciate your patience while we continue to expand our Donor QuickPass system. SunCoast Blood Centers strives to provide the latest technology capabilities to our donors and are diligently continuing to improve upon our technical systems.
SunCoast Blood Centers makes the Donor QuickPass available, securely through standard protocols, to all internet users. However, access to it may be restricted on some employers’ or service providers’ networks, for reasons of their own. If you have difficulty accessing or completing the Donor QuickPass, please contact the technical support team at your organization. SunCoast Blood Centers cannot provide technical support outside of our own network boundaries.
Typically not. A SunCoast Blood Centers staff member will scan your Donor QuickPass donor receipt and review your responses. In rare instances, you may have to answer the questions again at the time of donation if:
- Your donor receipt is lost, or the bar code on the receipt cannot be read by the scanner.
- Donor QuickPass is not completed on the same day as your blood donation.
- If computer systems are down at the time of your donation.
You will have the opportunity to go back and correct your answers at any time during the interview process by selecting the “Review Answers” button. If you have already completed the interview and printed your Donor QuickPass donor receipt, you should notify a SunCoast Blood Centers staff member of your desire to change an answer.
Using Donor QuickPass, you can skip a question and review it with a Donor Specialist at the time of your donation.
No. You will continue to have the option to complete your health history interview one-to-one with a Donor Specialist at the time of your donation.
No. All blood donors are asked the same required health history questions—regardless of the format used to answer them.
Please print, save, or email your barcode receipt to yourself. If you lose your barcode receipt you will need to complete a new health history questionnaire, either online or at the donation site.
SunCoast Blood Centers realizes our donors sometimes face scheduling issues that can interfere with their planned donation. However, because your interview responses must be answered on the day of your donation, you will need to answer them again if you reschedule your donation for another day.
All donors complete a new health history interview before each donation as a safety measure for both the recipient and the donor.
