FPPs are not in any way connected to how much you wage. It is based on the amount of rake that you directly contribute.
An exaggerated example: You are the small blind and you decide to push all-in $100 into the big blind. He calls. You both wagered $200 but you still only get .5 FPPs. (The rake cap for two players at $100 NL is $1 and since you only contributed half of that you only get .5 FPPs.)
(I have no clue how this will all change with the new rewards program.)
Well, since today I can't even connect to their online chat support due to some problems with SSL, so why even bother... just play and hope for a blue envelope when you clear bonus. Pacific style. ♦

You might not be right. That's what their support told me:
Since you started playing and wagering, you have accumulated 17 points, meaning you have bet $170 in total up to now. In order to clear the $50 bonus granted to your account, you still need to wager additional $4816.03. You can check this information in the cashier points section, in order to determine how many accumulated points are extracted from the total wagering requirements.

I have no idea where you have that info from, I have it from support...
Primzi, you're talking about Bonus Points - these are the points you see counting down on bar on a top-left side of tables. FPP could be calculated on a rake of tokyo says so. I never remembered to ask support about that despite the fact we chat quite often. ♦
Well, that's strange. This is what they have on their website:
http://www.pacificpoker.com/en/promotions/all-promotions--7,1.htm
And they have a really devilish signature on live support now - 'come and join our casino, you can play all casino games with money you earn on poker' ♠_evil: Yeah right. 
I got my starting capital there via PS and got that bar showing progress to 800 Bonus Points when I'll get additional 100$. It shouldn't be much different now for you guys who registered now... Oh, well, Pacific... ♠_confused:
This seems to be the site that lets you know how to earn points...
It looks like you get 2 bonus points for each $1 in rake you produce
http://www.pacificpoker.com/en/comp_point.htm?lang=en
It's only your contributed rake though, so a bit like tokyoaces said... have a look though and see what you think. ♠_grin:
To clear the 100$ you must collect 800 FPPs (Frequent Player Points) within 120 days. You will then receive your additional $100.
And support said it's 1 FPP per 10$ wage. That's how it used to be. It might change when the new rewards system is implemented, but I still have no idea how to find that status points counter or bar -.-
Well... maybe they've upgraded it so now you have to ask support everytime instead of just taking a look at progress bar. ♦

They are wrong. It has never been that way.

status points counter appears only when u have a bonus from 888 poker room
I have bonus for signing up via PS.com and Primzi did the same, the only difference is it was my 'first' poker room and Primzi signed up as a part of a special offer, but other of that it's all the same. I really see no reason why he wouldn't have status bar as he wants to clear those 100$ the same as I do...

If you bothered to check their support FAQ you would learn that:
How many Status Points do I get per buy-in each time I play?
For every $1 you spend on a rake or tournament fee, you will receive 2 Status Points.
It says nothing about wagers at all. So yes in this case I believe what support says over what you think support told you.
Maybe it's time to facepalm yourself. ♦
maybe it's time for you to grow up and pay some respect to the people who contribute to pokerstrategy a bit more than you do? bronze...
