I wouldn't worry too much. My own experience was:
1 Oct (around lunchtime Brazil time) - Signed up for Amigo membership (fortunately, I made a record of my membership number which appeared on the website after signing up) and e-mailed a status match request in Portuguese
12 Oct (morning Brazil time) - Received an e-mail in Portuguese from Avianca Brazil welcoming me to the Amigo programme and enclosing my membership number
24 Oct (afternoon Brazil time) - Received an e-mail in Portuguese from Avianca Brazil notifying me that my Amigo membership had been upgraded to Gold

I assumed so too. I guess there is a misinterpitation at amigo offices? I sent them an email about it lets see what they say...
Star silver is fairly useless and gold is a better fir since both Elite plus and star gold get lounge access...

Surely there's an error - it's a poor match considering they're matching OWE to Amigo Diamond

I thought it would make sense to share the timeline of my events:
The interesting thing is that I got my AZ Gold - valid until March 2017 - by matching my SQ Gold which expires in May 2016.
In summary: SQ Gold 5/16 -> AZ Gold 3/17 -> O6 Diamond 3/17
