Eh... I fly often into and out of BUR. It's my favorite airport in and around Los Angeles.
That said, I rarely spend any money at the airport itself. The only thing that I charged to my credit card is my rental car when I drop it off at BUR. But I don't think their loyalty program includes charges made to the on-site car rental companies.
(Or does it?)

Now BUR is building that snazzy new transportation center structure and that would leave all that open space next to the terminal to expand a few more gates…
<BUR expansion probably already discussed and I missed it>

Having suffered through the "renovation" of SJC, they are interestingly similar in that SJC removed the rental terminal at the far "left" of the airport next to the old United/Delta terminal (C?) and then proceeded to rebuild.

So pending approval by the voters of the City of Burbank (scheduled for 2015), the new replacement terminal will be located on the northeast corner of the airport (the present terminal is located in the southeast corner), and the new replacement will still have only 14 gates — AND — none of the gates will jet bridges. Passengers will have to climb airstairs to board and deplane, just like most do now.
Here's a preliminary sketch of the proposed replacement terminal for BUR:

After 9 years, the new BUR terminal was approved and ground has been broken!

With the new terminal being across one of the runways, the currently walkable route to the rental car facility— a long walk— will be much longer. Or will they build a new rental facility close to the new terminal?

Supposed to be shuttles, AFAIK. Bummer…loved it when rentals were right next to the terminal.
