Parking spend near airports frequently counts toward travel multipliers (Chase Sapphire Preferred and Reserve both include parking in their travel definitions) and Capital One Venture X's flat 2x applies regardless of coding. Book prepaid online rather than paying the gate rate: the member discount usually outweighs any category difference.
