If there's a folio under the door that shows the correct charges, I don't have to add on time to stop by the front desk & stand in line to get a folio to provide to client or employer. I can use the one that's under the door. So yes - for those of us who value our time - it can be a big deal when you multiply that trek to the front desk by numerous stays (especially if you're staying in a hotel that has a lot of people checking out at the same time).

I normally submit my expense report(s) sooner than the 2-4 day time lag Marriott currently provides the e-folios so need hard copy. As others have noted, if e-folios were provided in real-time or close to real-time, then the hard copy folio wouldn't be a big deal.

Cheers.
