We now need Mileage Addict to post his memorable post on the stages of a Mistake fare.
Re Starwood, they have honored some but not all. They honored the $25 NYC W Times Square rate. They did not honor the Bora Bora mistake. They did not honor the St Francis mistake fare for the upcoming Christmas holidays. In fact, I did not even get an email; they simply changed the rate that was shown online in my reservation.

They kinda honored the Lanesborough mistake (but not the throw-ins like LHR transportation, though Orbitz covered the extras for those that booked there rather than spg.com).
They honored the Le Meridien Khao Lak mistake.
And the Sheraton Portland, ME rate IIRC.
Some yes, some no, some kinda. Prepaid with cancellation penalty helps. We shall see.

Here you go!The eight stages of mistake fares
1. Fare discovered and posted on FT
2. Level 1 excitement - fare purchased
3. Level 2 excitement - receiving email confirmation
3. Level 3 excitement - paper tickets received via FedEx
4. Level 1 stress - Will the deal be honored? and... Why did that one bonehead call the mistake source!?
5. Level 2 stress - contacting the media and lawsuit discussion (this is the most entertaining phase to read on FT)
6. Level 4 excitement - positive confirmation from source about mistake being honored
7. Requests for info about activities at destination
8. Trip reports
