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:

Anyone else get matched a while ago and still not get their physical card?
I requested the match 7/11. I looked online had saw the status was Freccia Alata Club on 7/18, got an email 7/24 apologizing for the delay in the review of my status match. Have not received either an email confirmation or a physical card. My online account clearly reflects the status.
I sent an email to clubfrecciaalata several days ago and have not received a reply of any sort.

Requested Sep 13 - status upgraded around Sep 25, no mail at all received.
TK elite to Freccia Alata expiring 2017.
I was wondering if the "virtual" card is good for all privileges on AZ flights - I am due to return home in a few days (TATL) and the additional piece of luggage would be extremely useful - would I have any problem getting this perk without a physical card ? Also, would I be able to use other skyteam (non-AZ) lounges with no physical card ?
Thanks

Thanks.
Those are the easy ones (fast track and boarding).... Since I am flying AZ metal I hope I will be fine with extra baggage allowance.
I am departing ORD, looks like Alitalia has a lounge there as well ? Should I expect difficulties in ORD / FCO accessing the lounge without a physical card ?

You'll be sound with priority boarding, fast track etc. because of the Sky Priority logo whereas you might struggle when wanting to access partner lounges (bear in mind that nowadays AZ owns lounges only at a very limited number of locations, being basically Rome Fiumicino, Milan Linate/Malpensa & New York Kennedy).
