Minor points have changed a lot because now the steps take ~500 hands instead of ~1,000 hands.
There have been quite a few changes to points at major steps too.
- We have more accurate rake data, particularly at higher stake games which have run more often with full tables
- The way people play also changes the amount we get in rake per game per x hands
- I changed the payouts quite a bit
- Minor steps take about half as many hands, major steps take about 20% fewer hands
- We cut rake at NL4 and PL4 from 2% to 1% on May 1st but didn't change Challenges points (due to the 1c minimum, this is an effective drop of about 40% in rake)
Here're the changes for major challenges:
It looks like NLHE is now getting smaller rewards, but that isn't really the case due to the decreased number of hands required. The total amount we award this quarter is still going to be pretty much what we awarded last quarter (I can only be vague because I don't know for sure what we'll pay out this quarter, it depends how much people play).

only done it twice so far but each time it just says 275 ?
The points shown are a projection of how many you'd earn at your current mix of stakes. The projection won't change as you complete the challenge unless you finish some steps at different stakes.
