Somebody had asked about this and they have released the details now:

This is so much better for little ol' me! I can finally get promoted from aluminum level lol.
It hardly seems worth it to play 10 tables day in and day out for a lousy $1,000 bonus if you ask me....lol
As from January 1, 2010, players will need to reach 250 VPPs in order to
qualify to be paid CPA. Due to changes to our VIP program we expect to see
an increase in player activity and thus an increased likelihood of players
reaching 250 VPPs. If you are bringing in quality players, then this should
not affect you. This change will apply to all players that you have signed
up in the past who have not yet been paid for; not just those who sign up
from January 1, 2010. The payout levels will remain the same.
Stellar Rewards
Along with the changes to our VIP Program, from January 1, 2010
pokerstars
will be introducing Stellar Rewards. The rewards are a series of 19 cash
incentives that are gained by earning VPPs over the calendar year.
There are three different cash amounts:
• $10 – available at (750, 1.5k, 2.25k, 3k, 4k & 5k Yearly VPPs)
• $50 – available at (10k, 15k, 20k, 25k, 30k, 35k, 40k & 45k Yearly VPPs)
• $100 – available at (50k, 60k, 70k, 80k & 90k Yearly VPPs)
A player that reaches 90k Yearly VPPs in 2010 will earn the maximum of
$1,000.
