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:

Heard nothing from them after almost two weeks, so checked back (just before writing them another stroppy email!), and I've been matched to Alata Plus. Hopefully it makes it into Vietnam Airlines' system by Friday.

It still seems to be taking a long time... I matched my wife as well so we could get one more Alata for you code so we could give Alata to our kid as well and match that to Amigo 😇😄😄😄 in true FT fashion but 5 weeks later still nothing 
I figured by now they would be faster.
Oh well nothing lost, too bad the amigo match ends this month, not a chance in **** that the code will arrive by then.
I wonder how many new members they got from this match 😂

Cannot Register as New User for MILLEMIGLIA program
Hi,
I am trying to Register as a New User and then do a MILLEMIGLIA STATUS MATCH.
I tried using different laptops, browers and emails for 2 hours but to no avail. The Error Message is ''THE FOLLOWING ERRORS OCCURRED: THE USER IS ALREADY REGISTERED''.
I also cleared my cookies, history etc and I find it strange as I just read about the Status Match today, so I don't know anything about MILLEMIGLIA program prior to today. So how can I be registered for this program???
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Happy

Ring the Millemiglia helpdesk, give them the details that you provided, and they will supply you with your membership number and PIN.

Thanks for the reply. I just shoot them an email sending my Star Alliance GOLD status details and also asking them whether they can help me register.
I tried calling several countries Helpdesk but I think they are all closed as no one answer the phone.
Thanks for advice.

This promo has got to be the weirdest ever.
Got a response saying I don't qualify (I'm a UA 1K- so not sure why). Sent again requesting clarfication. Received 2 messages after 8-10 days- one saying I don't qualify (again!), one saying "in your Status Match request the Frequent Flyer original card is missing/not clear".
I'm beyond lost- the picture of my card is a clear as can be, the file size is ~200 kb, jpg and I'm a 1K.
No Customer Service to talk to, no e-mail address to write to. Read this whole thread and didn't see any new ideas.
I do see that other 1K's were successful in their match... any tips?

What the hell am I doing wrong...? I keep getting the
"the Frequent Flyer card provided does not meet the requirements of the Status Match initiative." e-mail back... I sent in jpg files (less than 1MB) of my AA EXP and LAN Comodoro (OWE) card and both have sent me back e-mails declining...
Has anyone else had experience with this..? What do I do??

First time round I sent a scan of the card, so completely legible - no dice.
Second time around I sent a photo of the card on my desk, and a photo of me holding the card (I replied to their rejection email, CCing the original status match email address)
I think perhaps the scan might have looked a bit *too* neat.

now I do not know if they did not like what I sent or could not open the file ???
in your Status Match request the Frequent Flyer original card is missing/not clear.
Please try again providing all the information needed and verifying that the file attached is in .pdf or .jpg format and that it does not exceed 1MB size.
