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:

Ha, ha! I tried calling the US number to ask for a card (status matched in July, no card yet):
The first time I was told I would get it the first time I fly with them, not before, no way, no how. She didn't want to hear anything about the status match and that I knew other people got their card before flying.
Called again and said I lost my card. He said a request for a card to be sent to me was made 8/4 and that I need to wait a little longer to see if I get it - didn't seem to phase him one bit that was almost 2 months ago. I guess that would be why the previous poster suggested calling the Netherlands. One of these days maybe I will be able to call when they are open?

Hi,
I submitted my BA Silver card on the 20th, received an email confirming status match on october 2nd - the status was already visible on the website a few days before, so it was quite fast.
Waiting for the card now
