Using points for airport parking?

Apologies, I haven't done much research on this yet, but I got asked this at work today:

Does anyone know of any FF or credit card points that can be used to pay for airport parking?

Specifically in the UK, but it would be interesting to hear of anywhere.

I did find a reference to "Qantas valet parking" in my brief browse, but it's more just normal parking I'm looking at.

Using points for airport parking?

Is parking a valid use of Arrival points?

In the U.S., the Preflight Parking system (nine airport lots in various places across the U.S.) has its own Frequent Parker program. You get free parking plus airline miles. My car is in one of their lots right now while I'm in Australia: two nights on an award stay, seven more paid, and I'll get 89 AA miles.

I am not aware of any, but if any did offer it then it would more than likely be at a horrible redemption rate

I think you'd be right, skibum7732, but this person had a surplus of points acquired through work that she wouldn't use otherwise.

Anyway, it was an interesting question to me. Thanks for the responses.
