That would be much better than how it is now.
The problem, as has been noted in this thread, is that Marriott tends to email the receipt 2 to 5 days after checkout.
With National Car Rental, the receipt hits my email within a few seconds of when I return a car.
I like to see my hotel folio before I leave the hotel. There have been a number of times when there has been an error on the printout under the door. When this happens, it's easy to swing by the front desk to have it fixed.
As getting a printout under the door is phased out, something needs to take its place. I suppose interactive TV is an option, but email and the Marriott app seem like a better options.
If additional charges (such as breakfast right before checkout) hit the account, it should trigger an updated email.
