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:

"In addition, you will gain Elite Member status if you fly with SkyTeam Partner airlines."
I'm pretty sure this wasn't the case couple of weeks ago. It had ST Elite+ for both Alata Club and Alata Plus Club. I'm I right? Multiple 3rd party webpages say the same, for example: http://www.loungebuddy.com/skyteam-ultimate-guide/

Anyone who has a membership that maps to either Skyteam Elite or Skyteam Elite Plus is considered as having "elite status".

In the wiki it says welcome packs are usually sent after 5-10 days, it's been about 6 weeks for me. If I requested a lost card, would it only send the card? I'm not that anxious for the card itself, was just hoping to gift Freccia Alata status to someone before an Alitalia flight.

You're totally right, I don't know why I read that as a Freccia Alata benefit. Well, problem solved either way. Thanks.

Got my 3rd or 4th rejecion back.
Sent an image showing my Etihad Gold and Avianca Brazil Diamond status. Also provided links to the statuses. Different response this time...
"the Frequent Flyer card provided does not meet the requirements of the Status Match initiative"
Anyone? Might just send the Etihad card next.

I got at least 8 rejections (2 versions: doesn't meet requirements, scan not clear) before I was matched.

Minor question - I just stumbled across this last week and submitted my information, along with a JPG image of the card. Should I follow up with an email with a PDF scan, or is JPG good enough?
