Fair point. When I got my first DiGi Prepaid, we had to top up RM50 for a month. After expired, you couldn't even receive calls. But that was 12 years ago. And even one year validity was introduced about 4 years ago already. Time for next step.

Besides that Hotlink actually removed the 365 day option from their last two plans, Hotlink Plan 1.0 and 2.0, and reduced the grace period for those plans to zero and 50 days, respectively.  At least now, Hotlink 365 is back on the menu under the newest plan.

Hotlink seems to offer the best promotions. Straightforward like top up RMxx by date 1, get RMyy by date 2. Offer from DiGi is complicated and feeble. I had problem twice before of never receiving rebate DiGi promises. Better just delete promo sms from DiGi. Not worth the hassle.
