First of all, my apologies - I really couldn't figure out which was the best forum for this post. Moderators, feel free to move it wherever . . .

Has anyone used the agoda.com site to book hotels? I'd never heard of it before, but it's started showing up as a booking option on kayak, and is sometimes by far the least expensive price. Also, you seem to be able to accumulate points of some sort (good only on the site, but hey, they could come in handy over time).

HOWEVER, are there issues (fine print or whatever) that I'm missing? Does this preclude getting normal (hotel chain) points, or something else that would make it not worth saving a little money on the original reservation?
