In Belgium, you need to wait two weeks before donating again (plasma and platelets, 2 months for blood). I regularly donate platelets, and sometimes plasma if the platelet slots are all occupied.
We get thank-you receipts (or public transportation ones) which we can turn in for some goodies. I hoard them up until I can get two tickets for an amusement park that I can visit with my daughter.
I don't know if getting paid for it would be better or more appreciated. I feel that it could lead to more abuse? I am much more happy to know I'm donating for a good cause...
