Do parking charges qualify for points?

I recently spent a couple of nights at the Marriott Inner Harbor at Camden Yards, and paid for parking by charging that expense to my room. Those charges did appear on the folio.

However, looking at the activity on my account I see only the points for the room, the platinum bonus, and the 500 points welcome gift. Parking was $26 per night, and I stayed two nights, should I have received 520 points for that?

If the parking was maintained by a 3rd party & courtesy charge to your room, no points.

Cheers.

OK, it's a city operated lot, apparently. The advantage of charging it to the room is that you get in/out privileges whereas using the self-service machines do not give you that flexibility.

So, no points for me!

In-n-out privilege is the consolation for no points

Cheers.

You get 5 points per $ for the parking by putting the hotel folio on Chase Visa!

Just no points from the hotel itself.
