Update summary from nufnuf77:

The status update currently seems to take about 15-20 calendar days. No email is sent immediately upon upgrade, but one may be received later (within a week or so). One has to visit the MilleMiglia site and look at one's card displayed under profile. The upgrades are probably processed externally to Alitalia, as neither Freccia Alata Plus line knew anything about it and one member received and email back from external processing team.

Physical card and upgrade voucher code to give status to someone else - 'Freccia Alata for you' are reported to arrive approx 5-10 days after the upgrade has been processed, depending on your postal address.

The coucher for 'Freccia Alata forYou' arrives in the welcome pack and has instructions and rules on how you can use this unique code to upgrade a family member/friend to Freccia Alata status for free. Can only be used once and the person receiving cannot be changed after it is applied.

The 'Business for you' upgrade (4x) is available from the moment one's status shows as Freccia Alata Plus. These 4 upgrade vouchers can be used for oneself or any other nominated person, and can be used by phoning the call centre. To upgrade, the original flight must be booked in P(Classica Plus) or Y, B, M and H(Classica). Upgrade inventory needed seems to be 'Z' class for business and 'A' class for Classica Plus.
It costs: 1 voucher to upgrade P-->Z(Business);
1 voucher for Y/B/M/H-->A(Classica Plus);
2 vouchers to upgrade Y/B/H/M-->Z(Business).

The new expiry date (March 2016 or 2017) will depend on your current status/card submitted, as per this quote from Alitalia:

Quote:

The new, recognized status will be valid until March 31, 2016. If the status in the existing Frequent Flyer Program expires after March 31, 2016, the equivalent status recognized within the MilleMiglia Program will be valid until March 31, 2017. In no case will lifetime cards be issued.

Matching tiers
Silver level - Ulisse Club
Gold level - Freccia Alata Club <-- Star Alliance Gold

How long does the new status last, once you've matched into it? <b>krabbenkopf's</b> is only until March 2016, and if that's the norm I may hold out before applying for a match.

Read up thread - there are reports of the match lasting till 03/2016. So not a terribly long time, but still long enough to be able to use for matching to other carriers.

Status Match

I just did a status match a couple of days ago, how would I know on the website if my status has been upgraded? Click under my account>MILLEMIGLIA CARD> if upgraded will the upgraded card display correct logo? I know several airlines like Alaska don't display elite logo, so just wondering.

Hello, I am also surprised you got a status valid until 2017.

This because by Italian law a point scheme can not last longer than 3 years and the ongoing Millemiglia program should end by March 2016.

BUt if this is the case then you git 2 good news.

Air Berlin Gold matched to FRECCIA ALATA CLUB (SkyTeam Elite Plus). Until 2017.

Delta.com does not recognize status with Alitlia, apparently. I just added my Alitalia status number to a reservation on Delta.com, and status is not shown. Any ideas?

Try adding a 0 (zero) before your MM number. I seem to remember there was a similar 'glitch' when adding the MM code on to AF/KL bookings and the zero (or a couple more - I can't remember) did the trick.
