I think it's going to take considerably more than that. That figure would be correct if there were an unlimited amount of points awarded per hand. But, they cap the points at 300 per hand. That's $3 in the pot. That's the antes in a $2/$4 game! Anything you put into the pot after that (as far as the points go) is just increasing your share of those 300 points.
For the purpose of clearing this bonus you would be better off finding a 6-max table full of rocks to maximize your share of the prize pool when you fold your blinds and that you could push around when you do catch a hand. If you're playing tight at a table full of maniacs that are capping it on every street you're going to have to play along with them in order to get any points. In this situation you'd only be getting a couple of points when you folded your blinds.
If you take it to the extreme -
Example: $2/$4 game full (10) table, you're in the big blind
Best case scenario: Everyone folds to you - $3 pot, point pool 300. 200 goes to you, 100 goes to small blind.
Worst case scenario: You fold PF and everyone else stays in. It gets capped on every street. $434 pot, point pool 300. 1 point goes to you, 33 points go to each of the other 9 players.
Yes, I know neither one of these scenarios is going to happen, but it does illustrate that you're not going to get a 1 cent to 1 point ratio on your wagers.
