This promo is not that sick, at least not as sick as the UK promo on the .com site, which was 80K VPPs bonus for those achieving platinum in the month of May 2009.
There, only your status changes. You still have to get 100K VPPs to maintain Supernova for the year after (and if you can get 30.000 VPPs in 1 month, you're likely become Supernova if you're not already) and to unlock the stellar rewards.
I'm planning a run for Supernova this year on the .fr site, migrating my Fifty/50 grind from the .com site (even with the higher rake, the ROI is better) and I calculated that this promo is worth about 1000 euro for me. It's a case of getting the 3.5 multiplier instead of 2.5 for the last 70.000 VPPs which works out about 900 euros to which I can add 100 euros of Supernova freerolls.
So a grand for doing a no life January is not that much. I'm not even sure I can get there! Playing a full session of SNGs there, I normally get 500 VPPs. so I need to double that and I'm already playing most of what I wanna play.

They do offer reload bonuses more than once a year, usually 3 times a year. There will likely be one in 2 weeks time with the start of TCOOP.
