Just like everyone on here I got a match from RJ Platinum (OWE) to Freccia Alata Plus. I just did it as an "insurance" , just in case I would have to fly Skyteam at some point in time, but have not flown a single flight, so there was no activity on my AZ profile.
I was surprised to see that I was only downgraded to Ulisse (Sky Team Elite), which is still good as it allows priority check in and a few other perks.

In my case I had sufficient qualification miles for Ulisse anyway, but seems I didn't need them!

So it seems there is indeed a soft landing at least in some cases, albeit two levels down rather than one from FAP. If there were no soft landing then the posters above would have gone down to green/no status rather than Ulisse.

I didn't realize I had the "Business For You" coupon until last night when I checked my welcome letter from last year. The letter was in Italian (even though my account is set in English), so I did not understand what "Business Por Te" means, and I thought status match does not qualify for the coupon.
Had I known, I could of use one of those coupon last year if I went to Italy. Oh well too late for that.

I was matched to Freccia Alata (from BA silver) till 31/03/2017 . Soft landed to Ulisse (no communication from AZ about thi)
My wife was matched to Freccia Alata (from BA bronze) till 31/03/2017. Now basic Millemiglia but she got an e-mail from AZ telling that an Ulisse card is "waiting" and she need a medium haul in any class before 30/04 (which is already booked btw)

Landed at Ulisse also, as I had a PE RT on CI BKK-TPE-LAX and a Business class RT on CZ BKK-CAN-PVG. Received he email offer but no need for their flights. Seems difficult to get award space on DL US domestic flights.

I had Alitalia Freccia Alata Plus (as a status match), which expired by the end of March 2017. Just received an Ulisse Card - so apparently this is a 2 level step down.
What are the benefits of Ulisse? Apparently it equals silver (SkyTeam Elite)

Had credited about 16 flights on ST partners from 12/2015 - 2/2017 (no flights on AZ)
I got downgraded to the basic level as well and going through this thread there have been people who've only credited 1 or 2 ST partners and the got soft landing to GOLD.
Is AZ just randomly selecting people or was there an email I was supposed to respond to? (I've never received any communication from AZ)
Does it make any difference to call the call center?
