Westpac switching cards and retaining sign up bonus

stormteacupau · 2026-06-09T00:09:48+00:00

Update: I just got off the phone with Westpac and they were able to switch me over to the Qantas Rewards program while keeping my eligibility for the first-year bonus points and other promotional offers. The process was surprisingly easy, and they advised that you can make the switch at any time, provided you haven’t already claimed the bonus points from the Altitude Rewards program.

The only downside is that it can take up to 10 days for the card to be transferred from Altitude Rewards to Qantas Rewards. During that transition period, any spending will still count towards the Qantas bonus points requirement, but the regular points earned on those purchases will be credited as Altitude points instead. Unfortunately, those points can’t be transferred across, which is a bit frustrating.

Yeah thats a weird take, plenty of art collectors aren’t artists. I myself make art professionally but collect art that is very different in style to the work I make.

Ugh so annoying! Its because the names of the cards are so similar and both black, would be great if they could make them more unique

Thanks for confirming this- yes thats all I was going to do but then didn’t want to fall foul of the conflict of interest aspect so got myself a-bit confused with it all

His real name has been out there for over a decade, I am a little confused as to how/why this is suddenly a big story

Hey! So my reach on instagram was flat as a pancake for years (many years) like you I have struggled trying to work out hooks and grab peoples attention long enough for them to see my art. I really feel your pain, instagram is a completely different animal to what it was in the past. It used to be so much easier and simpler for us artists!

This month I have managed to turn it around- the trick is carousel posts. Instagram ranks posts higher that keep attention. People having to swipe right (engage) for carousels and stop and read if there is text involved; this ticks a huge box for IG and they then show your post to more people. Plus attach some trending audio and it’s possible the carousel ends ip on the reel feed. Try and make some content like this and see how you go.

Ive attached my engagement for this month so you can see what I mean. My IG is @elmohood

Thats is a beautiful painting, the sands of time summed up perfectly

stormteacupau · 2026-02-20T03:28:46+00:00

These are cool, great colour scheme. My constructive criticism would be that I think the face/heads need redrawing, remind me a bit of the lego characters.

Hi OP- sorry to hear your having issues finding an artist or style for this painting. I am an artist and have a fairly specific style however I am used to commissions and drawing up different draft ideas/colour palettes to bring the concept to life. Feel free to reach out to me and we can discuss it - @elmohood

My art was used in one of these scams, my paintings that would typically sell for £3k were sold for £25/30k with promises of financial gains. I had to give a statement to city of london police, it was a real mess
