It looks like BUR is a co-terminal for LAX. Can someone confirm that?

Good point. I have not confirmed this with AA, but I'd interpret it in the same way. In my case, I live pretty much next door to SNA which is stated as equivalent to LAX in most/all fare rules. For example, SNA-PIT is $206 AI now through DFW, not bad if it works!

From the wiki:
Co-terminals
Co-terminals is a term that is no longer in use but that generally refers to city pairs that are considered to be the same point.
[edit] Fare calculation
Fares are published and itineraries calculated based on cities, not airports or groups of airports.
If your itinerary has you arriving in one city (e.g. SFO) and depart from another (e.g. OAK or SJC) you have a surface segment creating an open jaw for the purposes of fare calculation, unless those cities are considered the same point.
AA consider cities that are close together as being the same point; each fare specifies in its rule 10 (Combinations) which are such cities. As of MAR-09, most AA fares had the following provision:
NOTE - THE CITY PAIRS BELOW ARE CONSIDERED THE SAME
POINT -
BUR-SNA BWI-WAS EWR-HPN EWR-ISP FLL-MIA
HPN-ISP LAX-BUR LAX-ONT LAX-SNA LGB-BUR
LGB-LAX LGB-ONT LGB-SNA NYC-EWR NYC-HPN
NYC-ISP OAK-SFO OAK-SJC ONT-BUR ONT-SNA

Quote for T&C: To qualify, the round trip must depart from and return to the same city or co-terminal.
No. Read the thread on the previous LASF2 promo, which had the same T&Cs.
What that part in bold above says is that you can add on stuff at the start and/or the end, as long as LAX-DFW-LAX or SFO-DFW-SFO or DFW-LAX-DFW or DFW-SFO-DFW is somewhere in there.
What they mean by co-terminals being mentioned in that sentence is that you could get the promo by flying JFK--DFW-LAX-DFW-LGA. Ie, you can use co-terminals at your starting/ending city, as long as it's beyond DFW or beyond LAX or beyond SFO.
(To put it another way, they're spelling out that the overall entire ticket can't be open-jaw, but open-jaw doesn't include co-terminals.)
But co-terminals on the DFW-LAX-DFW roundtrip itself don't count. It has to be DFW to/from either LAX or SFO, no other airports. (And the reason is Virgin America adding more flights on those exact airport pairs, not other airport pairs.)
... If you read the LASF2 thread, you'll note that there was a lot of early confusion about whether adding legs on to either end of LAX-DFW-LAX would work for the promo at all. AA later added the bolded language to clarify that it did, as long as you started and ended in the same city (not necessarily same airport). That's why those of us who followed the LASF2 discussion months ago know exactly what it means.
