How to read this table
The salary figures are the issuers' published minimums — banks can and do approve or decline either side of them, and several price the same card differently with and without a salary transfer. Cards whose minimum we could not verify against a published source are left off this page entirely rather than shown as within reach; invitation-only cards are excluded for the same reason.
If you are moving your salary anyway, check the salary-transfer tracker first — at several banks the switch itself currently pays a banded cash bonus on top of whatever card you take.
