Same here, I got my ticket validated for shopping in Carrefour and expected to pay for only 2 hours instead of 4 but the validation entitles you to a QR5 discount on your parking fees. A total ripoff- I was charged QR13 instead of QR18-that day I had spent over QR2000 in total in City Center but only Carrefour offers validation. I thought I would get 2 hours free parking and thus only have to pay for 2 at a cost of QR5. Also you need to allow time to find a parking space and for exiting the parking- if you go over the time by even 1 minute you'll be charged for an extra hour.
