Online Travel Booking and Bidding Agencies - expedia booking much too cheap

I was surfing for a hotel in S.E. Asia and came accross a high-end spa on Expedia that was pricing at $3.60 per night, not $360. I tried to book it at this price and did. I received a confirmation and gave my creidt card to hold space. Now - this spa is in a difficult place to get too, and I cannot afford the real price of $360 per night. What you you do? Call expedia and confirm this low price? Go anyway and be ready for the credit card battle of my life when I return? Any experience with this type of situation?

Have you searched the Hilton and Starwood forums under FT Miles?

Last year, a $0 rate at some Hiltons was discovered and booked by many people. More recently, the W Times Square accidentally had a $25 rate instead of $250 (or something).

For the rest of the story, do the search....

P.S.: Here's a thread on a current rate; final outcome not known yet:

This happens somewhat frequently within Asia due to improper currency conversions between reservation systems - and nearly always the hote will either force you to pay the correct rate or they will not allow you to stay at the hotel. Fax the hotel directly to confirm the rate prior to arrival or be prepared to suffer a nasty surprise when you get there!
