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:

But that won't work, either. For anyone whose FAP status expired yesterday, then the ability to gift FA to someone else expired on December 31st last.

So, my original statement is correct. Any upgrades (however you want to interpret that) as a result of the status have now expired along with that status.

To the best of my knowledge, there are only cards for Ulisse and above (the so-called "Exclusive Clubs").
If you have no status, then you have no need for a card. You have no status and your basic membership does not entitle you to any services.

2.6 of the present regulations shows that this rule is still in force. Have you taken a flight that would trigger the sending of such a card again?

Has anyone who received and met the extension offer (1 return flight by 25th march) been extended yet? The T&Cs did say it could take up to April 11 to show so I'm not getting stressed just curious.

Flew my return ticket before the 25th, was downgraded to general member around April first and finally was upgraded to elite plus again ( which I noticed yesterday online).
