... or better yet: take the no-longer issued general circulation notes, pay the hotel bill with a points-earning/cash-back card and return the change in still-issued, general circulation cash and coin with face values of $100 or less.

I must be seriously stupid, because I don't understand how going cashless means, or could mean, the hotel not allowing meals etc to be charged to the room. If anything going cashless would in my view make it more likely the hotel permitts such charging. I realize my failure to understand is on me, but I do, indeed, fail to understand.
What is the point of removing a payment option?
