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:

Just for the curious, this is what the Freccia Alata Plus welcome pack looks like. The code for the Freccia Alata For You card (for another nominated person) is included in the pack. I got this about 2 weeks after my status changed on the Alitalia website. Surprisingly there were no bag tags in the pack.

When to activate the complimentary partner card?
Perhaps this has been covered up-thread, but does it matter when you activate the code for the complimentary Freccia Alata card - say - to wait until April 1st? Or is it only valid for one year irrespective of when it is "given away"?

No, it doesn't.
It says that if your Freccia Alata Plus status expires this month, you have lost your chance to gift status to a loved one.
What would be the point in now gifting status to a loved one, when that status lasts for less than a month? The card won't even arrive before the expiry date.
Why would you do such a horrible thing to a loved one?

Are you saying that, having been matched to Freccia Alara Plus valid to 03/17, you are unable to activate "Freccia Alata For You" for your chosen recipient?
There are a limited number of types of valid Freccia Alata Plus cards in existence at the moment - those expiring in 03/2016, and those expiring in 03/2017. (There may, of course, be a few people who have already qualified from a lower status all the way up to Freccia Alata Plus this year, in which case they will immediately receive a card valid to 03/18).
All this page says is that, for those only having an 03/16 card, they have now lost the ability to gift status to a friend - the codes sent with 03/16 cards have now expired, as these codes had to be activated during 2015.
The codes sent with 03/17 (and 03/18 cards, if any) are valid and can be activated on that page.
