Same thing has happened to me a couple of times.

I would not do this as it would fall outside my personal ethical values. It is one thing to fail to point out an error by them (and even this I am not entirely comfortable with), but quite another to take active steps to prevent them from rectifying the error. I see this as being equivalent to reporting your credit card lost if the hotel undercharged the credit card on a paid stay.
