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:

FWIW my match was denied as a screen shot of the virtual membership card from the BA App is not sufficient. It took 8 working days to get the email. Have now reapplied with a photo of a hastily re-ordered physical card.

Do they not realize that a photo of a physical card can just as easily be photoshopped as a screenshot? I bet if I had a photo of someone's card, I could add Santa Claus's name to it.

Quite. However the rules do say image of the physical card so at least they are being consistent, if somewhat odd.

from TK M&S Elite Plus to MilleMiglia Alata Plus
I submitted a scan of my TK Elite Plus card. They send me back "the Frequent Flyer card provided does not meet the requirements of the Status Match initiative" after 20 days.
I sent same e-mail 3 days ago and matched today to Alata Plus.
