How to compare

Check the terms that can change the decision.

Category membership alone does not make products interchangeable. Recheck the bank's current controlling agreement, tariff or effective-rate table before acting.

Qualification route

Compare the exact AMB, salary, assets-under-management or total-relationship-value route used to enter the programme.

Included vs eligible

A programme may waive a card fee or make a premium card available without guaranteeing that every member receives the same card variant.

Downgrade economics

Check what happens to card fees, service privileges and account charges if the relationship falls below the programme threshold.

Family / group aggregation

Banks define group or family relationship value differently; use the bank's own aggregation rules rather than adding balances yourself.

Maintained comparisons

Head-to-head research where the trade-off is meaningful.

Pairs are curated rather than generated automatically. Each product retains its own conditions, dates and evidence.
