Dedicated Donor Rewards program and the DDR store

For 2026, we’ve redesigned the Dedicated Donor Rewards program to be more rewarding and exciting than ever before. It’s our way of saying thanks for your ongoing commitment to saving lives. Each reward is meant to reflect the impact of your donation. That means more opportunities to earn e-gift cards and increased rewards for donating consistently.

Tango Reward Link E-Gift Cards

Most donations will earn an e-gift card. There are a handful of options in our store, such as Amazon, Starbucks and Target. However, there are hundreds of vendor options through the Tango Reward Link. Here’s how the Tango Reward Link works:

• You’ll redeem points for a certain value (ex: $10, $20 or $50) of a Tango Reward Link e-gift card. Tango will send you an email with a link to redeem for a gift card of your choice.*

With more than 200 vendors available through the Tango Reward Link, you have plenty of possibilities for what you can do with your points. Here are a few ideas for what to spend your points on:

At Home: Need a toilet? A donor once redeemed their points to get one, true story! You have plenty of options, with vendors including Best Buy, eBay, Etsy, IKEA, JCPenney, Kroger, Lowe’s and more.

Dining: Take your family or friends (or reward yourself!) for a meal at your favorite restaurants. Vendors include Texas Roadhouse, Chili’s, Longhorn Steakhouse, Pappadeaux, McAlister’s and many more.

Entertainment: Hit a night out with friends or family! Vendors include AMC Theatres, Cinemark, Disney, iFly Indoor Skydiving and more.

Shopping: You can choose from a wide variety of stores with a Tango Reward Link. Vendors include Amazon, American Eagle, Barnes & Noble, Belk, Bass Pro Shops, L.L. Bean, Nike, Sephora, TJ Maxx and more.

Travel: Love to get out and travel? Tango Reward Link has you covered: Vendors include Airbnb, Carnival Cruise Lines, Celebrity Cruises, Delta, Hotels.com, Southwest Airlines and more.

Because we designed the new Dedicated Donor Rewards to reflect the impact of your donations, most donors will be able to earn over $100 in e-gift cards in a year by donating consistently. That means you can redeem points for a big amount with one vendor or split up the way you want to spend your points among several vendors. The possibilities are endless.

All donors make a difference for local patients. We’re so thankful you choose to donate blood with Carter BloodCare, and we can’t wait to welcome you to our donor centers and mobile drives throughout 2026 and beyond. We also can’t wait to see how you redeem your points!

*Once you redeem points for a Tango Reward Link, those points cannot be refunded. Once you redeem points for an e-gift card, through the Dedicated Donor Rewards store or through Tango Reward Link, it falls under the merchant’s responsibility.
