That can sometimes work, but sometimes it doesn’t work.
I am just waiting to see what a place does when the final bill charges are such that the card used at check-in doesn’t cover the final bill in full and yet the only remaining form of payment available to the person is cash. Will courts defend the hotel ban on cash, or will courts defend the right to use local cash to pay expenses incurred in local cash denominations?
In Germany, for example, nearly 80% of all purchase transactions were done using cash. In Sweden, however, don’t be surprised if the majority of purchase transactions are settled without using cash.
