Incidental Charges Points Earning
Recently stayed at the W San Francisco, as well as The Palace Hotel San Francisco, and had valet parking for 3 nights. Got the folios, and the math seems that they did not credit me points for the parking that was charged to the room. Is that standard, or should I reach out to get them? Normally wouldn't care, but it was nearly $300 in parking costs.

Certain properties (especially in big cities) have parking contracted out to a third party. Usually no points are given for parking expenses in those cases.

Always look under the "Deals & Packages" tab for rates including parking. Also check AAA rates if you qualify. Many AAA rates include parking. Again, your going to have to do some math to see if your getting a real deal or not.

They generally do not.
Occasionally, it will be credited and I'm sure not complaining about it.
