$10 discount off parking at OAK
I got this in an email from CO but it doesn't seem targeted. You simply need an email address to sign up.
There doesn't seem to be a minimum stay for the coupon, so if you only need 24 hrs or less, the long-term parking lot would be $5.

This is a belated effort by the OAK operator (Port of Oakland) to begin to think about realizing that competition from the many off-airport private lots has "eaten the lunch" of the Port's lots. I used to park at the OAK econ. lot in the 90s when it was about $7/day and an easy walk to T1. Then when service fell and rates jumped into double digits I discovered the many private lots and never went back. About 1-2 months ago, the Port did a "study" that showed amazingly that the Port's lots' business was falling off. The Port concluded that its rates were too high
. Hence, rates have been lowered a smidge and now a coupon campaign.

Actually there's a more general form of it that links of the main parking page:

Not sure why they made a special CO one?
Yep, used it earlier this week. There does not seem to be any minimums on it, and it worked on 2 day parking in the Economy lot. And I saw a sample of that coupon posted on the inside of the toll booth in the hourly lot... In retrospect, I should have tried it while I parked to pickup my little brother. Free parking like Monopoly?
