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:

MilleMiglia Status Match? (Merged threads)
I sent the request last Monday, also still waiting for the match.
However, it says 5 working days on their website now, so I guess I will wait for a couple of more days before chasing.

So I know this whole process is taking a while, but how do I know if I have been matched? I cant see anywhere on my profile in the app what level I am at. Next to my name on the home screen I have the half wing with club-name written underneath, but click on it and I get the pillar top icon and N/A under

Hover over MilleMiglia Area and then select Your Profile.
Click on MilleMiglia card and it'll show whether your status has changed or not.

Are the upgrade vouchers any good?
As I read on the AZ website upgrades from Eco to Premium Eco are possible from Y, B, M and H booking classes only. Am I right in assuming that these classes are so expensive that one could almost buy a discounted premium eco ticket for the same price? Secondly, are all pemium eco classes upgradeable to Business? (That's what I infer as there is no mention of booking classes on the website.) Thanks, PS
Oh, and how long are the vouchers valid? The Website was referrring to "programme communication" that would outline the rules on that but I had no luck finding the information.

Maybe if there are some 2 class flight routes? I have not researched AZ much so do not have any info, in my case the march 16 expiration killed it for me

I've sent my application a week ago and so far no change when I log in. Not sure whether they're overwhelmed by the amount of applications or if I should send a better copy of my current card, or something else..

I am sure they are just super busy. If one or two people are in charge of doing the matches then it might take awhile to process the backlog... Remebering what happened at TK when they started it was taking weeks to a month to process some matches...

That is indeed impressive, lets hope they keep up! 👍👍👍 the match process was impressive with the exception of the short match (which was later explained officially as due to card expiry)
