Personally, I have always happened to have the card issued in time for my flights. Also, if you happen to still have an old NW plat card, I would bring that, too.
Yeah, that's what Delta SMS suggested to me. And their web tech support desk also said that Alitalia should see my status if the SM number is in the reservation, but I'm taking that with a grain of salt (as I do most call center customer service answers on an iffy topic).
Unfortunately I only became PM through a status match so I have nothing showing SkyTeam Elite+ status.
