IB/LA: GIG to MAD from $960
The interesting item is that they are flights operated by Iberia but sold by LATAM. This might complicate mileage earnings.

Yup, only certain LA flight numbers are eligible to earn. That's pretty sneaky of AS!
If LATAM was still in OW, you'd be able to earn AS miles.

LA always was a crapshoot when it was in OW, as they had numerous local airlines i.e. Lan Brasil, Lan Argentina, etc, which finally got sorted out. Nice airline though.
So, please check the flights before being so emphatic that something isn't true.
And, it's OneWorld

Most airlines in the 3 alliance only give miles for codeshare if operating and marketing are part of the alliance. The exception when the codeshare is operated by the carrier whose program it is. Ie a KL marketed, VS operated flight doesn't earn Skymiles, only earns in KL or VS programs.
If LATAM was still in OW, you'd be able to earn AS miles.

LEVEL A/C
Beware that IB will be using Level aircraft for MAD-GIG, at least in some dates. Recliner starts in business class (or premium economy, actually).
This seems to be the case in the flights shown by OP.

This is a most excellent fare: can route anywhere in South-America as long as it's a LA coded flight over the Atlantic. MPM is 6085mi +1850mi when routed through GRU or LIM (9918mi max) with unlimited transfers and 3 stopovers (1 free) each way. For some reason Matrix will not price this with connections but otas can do it.

Yes I do, this has nothing to do with issue at hand, earnings for codeshare flights.. Codeshare flights across all 3 alliances require that both marketing and operating carrier be part of the alliance. The one main exemption, Codeshare flights marketed by a non-alliance partner, operated by the carrier that crediting to. Ie a LA marketed, AS operated flight would credit to AS if there was such a flight. A LA marketed, IB doesn't earn in any OW program except for IBs.
