A simple google search using “can I use an Iberia voucher on other airlines” brings up this article that specifically discusses how to use a $1k voucher you get by spending $30k on your card.

If I can find that article in less than 10 seconds, I’d think that you’d also be capable of it.

- The voucher only works on flights operated by Iberia (It can NOT be used on flights operated by a franchise, codeshare, or partner airlines)

Folks, it might be helpful and more constructive if we could focus our thoughts on the actual application of the voucher. The terms of use say IB operated/marketed flights only but as theplayer has pointed out, partner flights are also offered on the designated booking portal, so there appears to be a discrepancy.
This point invites the experience of other voucher users to inform the discussion.

Setting aside the title, the card looks a little interesting. I presume you would also earn miles/avios on the ticket as well (Aadvantage members would get the Aadvantage earnings). But, while AA/B/IB operate as a joint venture transatlantic, the blog suggests it can only be used on flights operated by Iberia, not partners, franchise or codeshare. OP - can you tell us what the voucher says about that? That would seem to preclude Vueling or Level, as well as transatlantic codeshares with AA and BA.
And, in terms of your title, its only one place: Madrid.
Of course, once you are in Madrid, you can connect to many places in Europe including:

well i booked a dummy flight with a partner flying 1 leg of the trip and it took the voucher...so once again, since this is an IB board, I was hoping someone has experience using these vouchers. First hand experience is much better than a quick google search and what this board is for.

This is all it states:
$1,000 discount when making a flight booking for a minimum of two passengers at iberia.com. Voucher is good for 12 months.
and in very fine print:
Subject to Iberia flight availability and Iberia Plus programme. Taxes and fees apply to the full value of the ticket, including the $1,000 discount voucher. Chase is not responsible for the provision of, or failure to provide, the stated benefits and services. This offer is applicable to US residents only.

well I tried another dummy booking and went a step too far and actually booked Bos-Paris. Bos-PHI on American, PHI-Paris on American, the return on IB. $746 total price and final cost was 0 with the coupon code entered. Thought there would be one more page before it was actually booked, but no. No biggie if I lost the voucher as I wouldn't be able to use in 1 year as already have trip booked in Feb on IB.
So it answers the question that American metal can be used LOL

I have no reason to believe that that result from the google search is incorrect since it is very common for airlines to limit vouchers to be valid for travel only on that airline’s own flights.
As the fine print states: “subject to Iberia flight availability.”
More likely, you were able to take advantage of a bug in iberia’s system which allowed you to book travel on American Airlines.
Good for you.

Do you plan to cancel the booking within 24 hours in hopes of getting the voucher returned, or will you keep the booking, and hope that some future schedule change -- or mechanical delay on the outbound -- will entitle you to a refund of some sort, and/or EC 261/2004 compensation?

Have you received a ticket number yet?
