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:

After nine days finally Alitalia matched my status to Freccia Alata Plus!
A very generous offer since you get four upgrade vouchers and one Freccia Alata card to award by doing nothing... I guess I'll fly a little more with my national carrier now!

Is there something wrong with their website? I have tried joining and I keep getting an "Error in Service" message. I have tried using both Chrome and Firefox and I keep being shown that.
Ok so now I use Internet Explorer (who still uses that).. and I get an answer to say that I am already registered.. but I have not received an email from them ! So I sign in again, this time using my full and middle names and then it worked. I still have no idea where the other email has gone.
Anyway, signed and sent off my match (with American Airlines Plat). Lets hope the response comes in time for my EY flight.

Ring up, explain that you registered without receiving your user number, and they will look you up based on your personal information/email address and read your user number to you over the phone. When you have your user number, you can use the website to retrieve your PIN.

due to the error, I tried several times to sign up. Now, after receiving the newsletter, I noticed that I have 3 accounts... Is there a way to delete them?

I registered, didn't write down my # and don't even know if I subscribed to the newsletter to find my #
guess I have to call, or wait for physical card to arrive

I think it may be better to give them a call to get the #, when I signed up as basic member, I remember reading somewhere that they will send out the card after your first flight.
However, after getting matched, they did send me a card within 4 working days.

I have subscribed and received 2 newsletters in the last 2 weeks which has my# on it. However, I have not received any welcome email that they mentioned on the email that came with the pin.

added to AwardWallet and sent off status request email
Still funny they did NOT send out any Welcome email at all (only the PIN email)
