Reebok.eu Glitch Lets Shoppers Pay EUR Prices in Local Currency

In a brief but costly blunder, the Reebok.eu website recently displayed product prices in euros (EUR) across several non-eurozone countries — including the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland — but charged those same numerical values in the respective local currencies. As a result, customers in countries like the Czech Republic were able to place orders where, for example, a €100 item was charged as 100 CZK — roughly €4 at current exchange rates.

While Reebok's terms of service include a clause allowing the company to cancel and refund erroneous orders, many users acted quickly, placing small- to medium-sized orders before the glitch could be corrected. Some social media users claim that orders under certain thresholds (e.g., under 2,000 CZK) may have slipped through before the site corrected the issue.

The pricing error has since been resolved, and it remains to be seen how many of the orders will be honored. Reebok has not yet released an official statement regarding the mishap. For now, lucky customers wait — and the rest of the internet watches to see if any of those steep discounts stick.
