Some birds are twitting the following.
If the booking is made from an American web-site, by law they are required to honor the rate. Either agoda, or hilton - it does not matter to the end consumer. To aggravate things more - the rates are non-ref, and this should work both ways. Imagine you made a mistake and booked a non-ref rate. Good luck cancelling that one.

Sorry, that's no b.s.! I've spent quite a couple of nights at Hiltons all over the world, so I now the HHonors programm and the ways to twist it in one or the other direction. In the earlier years I also booked through Expedia etc. NO perks where given, no stay, no points. Also happened last year to a friend of ine when we stayed at a Hilton in London. As he booked at the last minute, rates at Hilton.com were pretty high, so he used booking.com and as a Gold he got no upgrade, no bkfst, no nothing. Even the trick asking to add the HHonors number to the reservation so he might get points for the incidentals did not work. However, also had a stay in WAW booked on a thrid party site where I received all benis, but WAW was one of the best Hiltons in Europe.

First, it alerts the vendor to cancel the mistake price.
Second, the longer a mistake price is posted, the more likely it is to be honored.
Never, ever, EVER call.

It cannot be that the reservations are not monitored by someone at Hilton -- perhaps even by the same person that initially submitted rates in a wrong currency to Agoda. There is someone who is in charge of reservations.

if they will honor it (I see no (legal) reason not to honor it), it was a good adversitment for that hotel. Noone of us would have probably recognized that there is a new hilton coming...

Relax guys
let's just wait and see. While you wait, have a quick read through Agoda's Term and Conditions to find some legal reasons why they could actually cancel it. (http://www.agoda.com/info/agoda-term...bnrJtBkwUG0%3d... Control + F: Mistake so you don't have to go through it all)

And thus, there is no legally binding contract.

Hmm.... That's actually a simpler explanation than my substitution of UAH for EUR theory -- both give approximately the same 90% discount, but (as is mostly the case in science) the less convoluted explanation is the more likely one. ^
