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:
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
Platinum level - Freccia Alata Plus Club <-- OW Emerald or AA EXP (?)

The existing MM program was supposed to be discontinued, with all the miles expiring etc, and a new one to start sometime soon. Sounds ridiculous, but that's what they had been planning.

The email is simply saying that the present form of the MM program itself is going to continue for longer. It doesn't have any effect on validity of status levels.

Hi everybody,

I currently would like to match my AA EXP status to Freccia Alata Plus Club on a recently opened Milleaccount account.

I understand AZ currently aren't running the status match offer, but reading around here it seems they are processing match requests anyway. Is this right? Can I just send in my application? Or do I have to wait until they start a new promotion? In this case, any idea when this will be?

Says who? Did not read any success of matches after their promo...?

Can I just send in my application?
Try it. Don't be surprised if you get no answer, thats AZ...

Or do I have to wait until they start a new promotion? In this case, any idea when this will be?
Question is, if there will be such a promo again...?

The best answer you can get is the one from Alitalia. Just ask them, and if you are lucky and do your homework, you might get what you are asking for. In general, people tend to say something is not possible without even trying, whereas any success you can reach usually comes after you have tried, not after you have given up. Good luck.

I don't know if my matched Alata Plus has been downgraded or something, since my last OK flights have shown no status. At least no skypriority benefits, and now latest the check-in agent wondered why he could see "basic" status on his computer while I gave him my alata plus card.

Previously (months ago), my AF flights have recorded skypriority benefits through my alata plus card...

What does it show on the AZ website when you login? And if it is incorrect did you call the call the center for an explanation?

Hello,

If someone needs Alitalia "vouchers to upgrade" or
FRECCIA ALATA FOR YOU CARD – let me know.

http://www.alitalia.com/en_gb/specia...d-request.html

By activating the Freccia Alata forYou card, you can enjoy benefits reserved for our best Customers, such as entry to airport lounges, priority on waiting lists at booking and check-in, free baggage allowance and much more.

Members with a 'Freccia Alata Plus' card valid until March 31st, 2017 can request the activation of the 'Freccia Alata perTE' card within December 31st, 2016 with the form found below.
Not sure how long Freccia Alata forYou card will be valid (my FRECCIA ALATA PLUS CLUB status due to expire 03/2017) – if someone knows – please let us know.

It will be the same expiry as the main card - 03/17 in your case.

So everyone (who did not requal on flights) have now super soft landed 2 levels?

Freccia alata plus to Ulisse club and Freccia alata to member.

Anyone got the Ulisse club cards yet? Automatically? At least extra luggage on ST.

Yup—Ulisse for me. No sign of cards, or even an email about the soft landing.

No idea, but per individual, status matches are once in a lifetime.

Probably not. Lufthansa and Air France ran statusmatches back in 2011 IIRC. They haven't had a promo like that ever since.
