6 Steps to Conquer The Morning

Let’s be real – Mondays can be a slog, especially after a weekend of living large. Whether you’ve had a big night out on the town, treated yourself to some retail therapy, over indulged at your favourite restaurant or sorted the weekly grocery fun, the last thing you need is to start a brand new week on the wrong foot. As the Wim Hofs of the world say: conquer your morning, conquer your day. 

And here’s why: nailing your Monday routine creates the foundation for the rest of the week. Not only does it set the tone for productivity, but it also creates a sense of control, and helps establish a mindset of accomplishment – making it easier to maintain momentum as the week goes on. 

We’ve teamed up with Westpac to show you how to get ahead of your weekly spend with their Pay With Points feature, where you can now pay for everyday items with points you’ve accumulated, anywhere Mastercard® is accepted. 

Morning Muesli: Breakfast Sorted

We all know breakfast is important to fuel your day. However, if you’re short on time in the morning, or if meal prep on the weekend was not an option, you’ll likely grab it on the go. No more skipping brekkie if you’re low on cash – you can cover the morning brekkie with the points you earned from your weekly grocery run. 

HIIT Workout: Exercise First

Exercise on a Monday is a great way to release endorphins and leave you feeling energised for the day ahead. You can keep your fitness goals on track without draining your wallet and use your points to cover your sweat sessions at the gym. 

Morning Commute: Travel Made Easy

Whether you’re hopping on a tram, a train, a bus or a taxi, or filling up the car,  tap on as usual, anywhere Mastercard® is accepted. 

Long Black: Caffeine Fix

Grab your long black from your favourite cafe, and even order ahead with apps like Hey You or Skip. Either way, you’ve just scored what feels like a free caffeine boost thanks to your Altitude Points.

Lunch Shouted: Midday Refuel

Let’s not forget lunch. Whether you’re grabbing a salad, sushi or a cheeky burger, use your Westpac points to pay for lunch so you can keep your energy levels up throughout the day. 

Weeknight Grocery Rescue

If you didn’t have time for weekend errands, no stress. Make your life easier and order online for the week and get it delivered. Paying for groceries with points is an obvious win-win.
